Tempo CableScout CS90 Coaxial Time Domain Reflectometer

Quickly identifying faults accurately is essential for the busy cable technician: CableScout® 90 (CS90) offers a balanced mix of automation and manual testing that enables technicians to do their jobs right the first time.
The CS90 delivers the latest TDR technology in a small, lightweight and rugged design to provide unrivaled ease-of-use and coaxial cable testing performance.

CS90 is perfectly usable on other cable types too, e.g. telephone or Ethernet twisted pairs. With the CS90, technicians will spend less time operating the TDR and more time repairing faults. Simply select the cable type to be tested and the CS90 does the rest. Pulse width, VP, gain, and vertical position are automatically selected and adjusted as you scan the cable.

Finding the fault could not be faster, just move the cursor to the fault and use the one-button zoom function to pinpoint its location.

The CS90 employs optimised pulsing and sampling, coupled with advanced filtering and signal-processing techniques. You always have the cleanest possible waveform for the easiest event identification. The FastFind™ automatic fault locator function can quickly adjust the overview trace to the last fault on the cable speeding documentation of faults in real-time.
