The Klein Tools Cable Length Meter is a portable Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) cable length tester. It measures cable length, calibrates Velocity of Propagation (VoP) values, finds distance to faults in cables, and provides built-in tone generation for cable tracing. This tester provides accurate cable length measurement for a wide variety of cable types at an affordable price. Includes test leads and a carrying case.

  • Cable length meter measures length of electrical, data, two-wire and Romex® cables up to 3000 feet (914 m)
  • TDR technology measures Distance-to-Fault, Open or Short, on terminated or unterminated cable
  • Programmed with Velocity of Propagation (VoP) values for Coax, Data, Romex® and other multiwire cables for accurate length measurement within +/-(2-Percent plus 3-Foot/0.9 m) accuracy
  • Stores custom cable VoP values for consistently accurate results and time savings
  • Simple interface with full color, interactive LCD
  • Tones unenergized, open-ended wires for wire tracing (requires Analog Probe (Cat. No. VDV500-123, sold separately)
  • Coax-BNC or high quality alligator clips for quick, easy connection to test most cable types
  • RJ45 jack for accurate length measurement of terminated data cables
  • Measurements can be switched between and metric and imperial units
  • Includes padded carrying case and leads
Warnings: The Cable Length Meter should NOT be used on energized cabling systems. Internal components of the Cable Length Meter are protected up to 30V peak AC or DC. Connecting the meter to voltages above this range may pose a safety hazard to the user and the meter.
