If your job is to find faults on coaxial cable, the CableScout TV90 is built for you. Designed specifically for CableTV and other
coaxial cable applications, the TV90 applies the newest technology to provide both ease of use and coaxial cable testing
performance not found in any other TDR.

With the TV90, you'll spend less time operating the TDR and more time repairing faults. Simply select the cable type to be
tested and the TV90 does the rest. Pulse width, V

P

, 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 TV90 employs optimized pulsing and sampling, coupled with advanced filtering and signal-processing techniques. You
always have a clean waveform for easiest event identification.

Short Pulse Width

The TV90 uses a 6 ns pulse width for close-in resolution. Faults as near as 3 feet from the pedestal are located with ease.

Rugged Package

Best of all, you get all this performance and ease of use in a small, light, rugged TDR package. Come snow, rain, heat or

humidity, the TV90 keeps working because you have to.
