Used NARDA X2181-30 #9395854 for sale

NARDA X2181-30 is an electronic test equipment which utilizes a Frequency Domain Reflectometry (FDR) technique to detect the presence, location, and characteristics of undesired discontinuities in shielded or unshielded cables. This device has a simple, user-friendly interface, allowing the user to easily configure and operate the equipment. With a minimum of user setup, X2181-30 can begin testing after simple cable attachments at each port. Its frequency range of 0-1000 MHz allows for accurate and precise detection and location of a wide range of cable defects such as opens and shorts, dielectric mismatches, and impedance discontinuities. The equipment also includes a pulsed signal stimulus setting, allowing reflections to be distinguished from inherent signals. NARDA X2181-30 has a crystal controlled voltage controlled oscillator (VCO), which is adjustable through a user interface. The VCO is capable of providing a measured output through the probe as well as providing the synthesis and dividers necessary for the analysis of the system. The voltage regulator on the VCO maintains a steady output without significant drift or instability. X2181-30 also contains a display which offers a variety of readouts, including the depth and impedance mismatch of any defects, in addition to the location of the fault. This can be very useful for troubleshooting and can also give the user the ability to isolate the specific defect if needed. NARDA X2181 is designed to be robust and rugged, and able to withstand rough handling, making it ideal for field testing applications. Its portability also makes it an excellent choice for those who need portability. The device can be used with any coax cable up to 1000 MHz, allowing the use of both hardline and coaxial cables. Overall, NARDA X2181-30 is an excellent electronic test equipment that can quickly and accurately detect the presence, location, and characteristics of undesired discontinuities in shielded or unshielded cables. It is a well-built, reliable, and versatile device which is suitable for a variety of testing applications.
