2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
The Cable Length Meter for industrial, network, telco, and coax cable (not CATx) is
an easy-to-use, versatile compact handheld unit that measures cable length and
generates tone. It works on single- or two-conductor cables for testing and trouble-
shooting.
CAUTION: Do not attach test leads to energized cables. The Cable Length Meter
might be damaged.
