Tdr

Some Definitions about TDR

• In copper cabling, TDR can measure cable length and locate specific areas of impedance mismatch by transmitting a fast rise-time pulse down the cable under test and then monitoring the cable for constant voltage in order to detect any reflections of the transmitted pulse. Any anomalies in the cable that change the capacitance, inductance, or resistance will result in measurable differences in impedance. Think of impedance mismatches as disruptions in the flow or back-pressure that alter the actual time for propagating the pulse vs. the nominal propagation rate. These impedance mismatches anywhere along the length of the cable cause reflections that are then displayed on the TDR's output. A significant reflection also always occurs at the end of the cable.
• If a cable is metal and has at least two conductors, it can be tested by a TDR. Devices with TDR capabilities will troubleshoot and measure all types of twisted-pair and coaxial cables, both......
