Cable Length Meter CableTool
 Cable length meter to determine cable length up to max. 700 m / integrated voltmeter /        for voltage inspection and recognition of cable breaks 

This cable length meter is a device for determining the cable length of any copper cable type e.g. network cables, antenna cables and standard electric cables. With an integrated TDR (time domain reflectometer) the cable length meter captures cable lengths and distances to a cable end or an interference point (e.g. cable breaks, cable pinches or short-circuits). By means of the integrated voltmeter function for the tested cable eventually active lines can be determined. Therefore the cable length meter can be connected without further ado to power cables with up to 250 V and the applied voltage will be displayed. Additionally the cable lenght meter is equipped with an integrated cable search function. Therefore the cable length meter sends in a signal, and due to its reflection from the cable its course through the cable channels and walls can be exactly located by means of the optional purchasable CableTracker Probe. Thus the cable length meter CableTool proves to be a fully equipped all-round meter for the analysis of cable errors and to measure cable lengths. Even furled cables can be monitored on its full length without any problem. If there are any questions about this IP tester CableTool, please have a look at the technical specification below or call: UK customers +44(0) 23 809 870 30 / US customers +1-410-387-7703. Our technicians and engineers will gladly advise you in all LAN testers and all products in the field of measuring instruments, regulation and control and scales

Cable Length Meter Cable Tool

Here you can see the Cable Length Meter Cable Tool measuring a line length: therefore it measures besides the length also the applied voltage

The cable length meter is preset with several cable types to measure, every additional cable type can be defined by means of the NVP for accurate measurement (description underneath). The following cable types are preset:

- NM - non metallic (Romex)
- BX - aluminum shielded cable based on aluminum
- MC - aluminum shielded cable based on cupper
- HC -aluminum shielded cable for technical health
- UF - underground cable 
- SOOW - portable 600 V cable with rubber coat
- EXTEN - outer- lengthening- cable (usually orange colour)
- W/G - ground cable
- ZIP - cable for lamp connection
- THHN xCDT - THHN cable with insulation
- CAT - category (e.g. CAT6e)
- PLNM - splitter cable 
- UTP - unshielded, 2 conductor twisted cable
- COAX - Coaxial cable
- SPKR- loudspeaker cable
- TEL - 2 conductor twisted telephone cable
- PIC - plastic insulated cable
- THERM - thermostat cable

Further cable types can be easily adjusted via the correct NVP for cable measurement. 

NVP (normal velocity of propagation):

The cable length meter CableTool performs a precise measurement of the cable length by recording how long it takes an electric signal to cross through a cable and get back to the meter. The time will be converted into a linear dimension based on the signal speed for crossing through the cable and returning to the meter.

Each cable type has a different electric characteristic that have an impact on the measuring procedure so that the speed of the signal alternates (NVP). NVP is the relative speed of the signal while crossing through a cable medium. Vacuum represents a theoretically perfect medium (NVP = 100). 
All cables have a NVP beneath 100 and are typically between 50 and 80. Thus the most accurate length measurement can be achieved by specifying the correct NVP. The NVP can alternate significantly from producer to producer, and even between the production lots of the producers. 
The correct NVP is often printed on the cable by the producer, or noted on the reel. If it's not the case, and if a correct performance of the measurement is required, please visit the manufacturer's website or contact him by phone. The NVP saved on the cable length meter are typical values of all manufacturers and cable types.
