The Tektronix 1503C MTDR generates high-energy, 1/2-sine shaped pulses for testing long cable
runs. The Tektronix 1503C has 2, 10, 100 and 1000 nanosecond pulse widths.Use of the 2 ns pulse width permits determination of multiple faults as close together as one foot.&Cable impedances of 50, 75, 93, and 125 ohms are selectable at the front panel.The 1503C is input protected to 400 volts.

The unit has a range of up to 50,000 feet and is the best metallic TDR for general purpose applications.
