2. Time-domain reflectometer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

   These traces were produced by a time-domain reflectometer made from common lab equipment connected to approximately 100 feet (30 m) of coaxial cable having a characteristic impedance of 50 ohms. The propagation velocity of this cable is approximately 66% of the speed of light in vacuum.

3. Cable tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cable_tester

   A cable tester is an electronic device used to verify the electrical connections in a signal cable or other wired assembly. Basic cable testers are continuity testers that verify the existence of a conductive path between ends of the cable, and verify the correct wiring of connectors on the cable. More advanced cable testers can measure the ...

4. Coaxial cable - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Coaxial_cable

   Coaxial cable, or coax (pronounced / ˈ k oʊ. æ k s /), is a type of electrical cable consisting of an inner conductor surrounded by a concentric conducting shield, with the two separated by a dielectric (insulating material); many coaxial cables also have a protective outer sheath or jacket.

5. Test probe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Test_probe

   The most common design inserts a 9 megohm resistor in series with the probe tip. The signal is then transmitted from the probe head to the oscilloscope over a special lossy coaxial cable that is designed to minimize capacitance and ringing. The invention of this cable has been traced [8] to John Kobbe, an engineer working for Tektronix. The ...

6. Continuity tester - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Continuity_tester

   Entry-level cable testers are essentially continuity testers. A continuity tester is an item of electrical test equipment used to determine if an electrical path can be established between two points; [1] that is if an electrical circuit can be made. The circuit under test is completely de-energized prior to connecting the apparatus. [1]

7. Oscilloscope - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oscilloscope

   If the signal source has its own coaxial connector, then a simple coaxial cable is used; otherwise, a specialized cable called a "scope probe", supplied with the oscilloscope, is used. In general, for routine use, an open wire test lead for connecting to the point being observed is not satisfactory, and a probe is generally necessary.
