UT685B KIT TDR Cable Tester

Product Description

The UT685B KIT TDR Cable Tester is a professional-grade cable testing and fault-location instrument designed for network engineers, telecom technicians, installers, and maintenance professionals. Using advanced Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology, the UT685B enables fast, accurate detection of cable length, opens, shorts, and fault locations in a wide range of network and communication cables.

Modern network infrastructures rely on high-quality cabling for reliable data transmission. Faults such as broken conductors, short circuits, impedance mismatches, or incorrectly terminated cables can lead to signal loss, unstable connections, and system downtime. The UT685B KIT TDR Cable Tester is engineered to quickly identify these issues, reducing troubleshooting time and improving overall network reliability.

The UT685B supports testing of twisted-pair cables including Ethernet (RJ45), telephone lines (RJ11), and coaxial cables. With its intelligent TDR function, the tester sends a signal through the cable and analyzes reflected signals to calculate the distance to a fault or the total cable length. This allows technicians to pinpoint problems without physically tracing or dismantling cable runs.

The clear LCD display presents test results in an easy-to-understand format, showing cable length, fault distance, and wiring status. The intuitive interface ensures that both experienced professionals and new users can operate the device efficiently with minimal training.

The UT685B KIT version typically includes essential accessories such as remote identifiers and test leads, enabling multi-point testing and cable identification in complex wiring environments. This makes it especially useful in structured cabling systems, server rooms, office buildings, data centers, and telecom installations.

Compact, lightweight, and battery powered, the UT685B is designed for portability and field use. Its rugged housing ensures durability in demanding work environments, while its reliable measurement accuracy makes it a trusted tool for routine maintenance and installation verification.

Whether you are installing new network infrastructure, diagnosing cable faults, or performing preventive maintenance, the UT685B KIT TDR Cable Tester delivers the precision, speed, and reliability required for professional cable testing.
