A library of 39 standard cable types enables accurate measurements without the necessity of entering Velocity Factor information.
In the event that the FaultCaster is connected to a live cable a warning is displayed, and alarm tone sounded and testing inhibited.
FaultCaster incorporates an oscillating tone generator, that is detectable using a standard tone probe, for use in the tracing and identification of pairs within a cable.
