Megger CFL510G Hand Held Time Domain Reflectometer, 0.1m Resolution, +/-1% Accuracy
The Megger CFL510G time domain reflectometer (TDR) is a cable fault locator for identifying and locating faults in metallic cabling. This autoranging digital meter has an auto-test function that automatically selects the best parameters for the test. The TDR has single- or dual-cursor measurement. Single-cursor measurement indicates the distance from the start of the cable to the cursor, while dual-cursor measurement indicates the distance between identified faults. The unit has a range of up to 5km (15,000’) with a minimum resolution of 0.1m (0.3’). The tester is safety rated to European Standard EN61010-1 Category IV 150V and Ingress Protection 54 (IP54)-rated for protection against dust and splashing water. The CFL510G is commonly used by electricians and cable technicians.

Cable testers evaluate and certify the installation of data cables and cable systems. The testers usually include a transmitter, which sends a signal through the cabling, and a receiver, which is a handheld device that evaluates the cable being tested. The testers may work on local area networks (LAN), fiber optics, or both. Cable testers perform a variety of diagnostic tests to certify correct installation, troubleshoot problems, helping to migrate systems to high-speed cable, recertify systems after adding new pieces, and other functions. Testers may include internal memory to store test results, an LCD screen to display results, and other features.
Megger manufactures equipment for cable fault locating, protective relay testing, telecommunications and data integrity, and power quality testing under multiple brand names, among them Megger, Biddle, States, and AVO. The company, founded in 1889, is headquartered in Dover, England, and meets International Organization for Standardization (ISO) 9001:2008 standards.
