Copper Fault-Finding Made Easy

Finding the location of a fault on a copper pair doesn't have to be like finding a needle in a haystack. Faults come in all different shapes and sizes, some are even intermittent. Opens, shorts, bridge taps, and splices could be on any pair at any time, so every technician needs to understand where these faults are located; the detection of the fault alone is often half the battle. There are many methods for locating copper faults such as using TDR or RFL, and when coupled with new analytic methods, the fault-finding task becomes much easier and less time consuming.
