CATV Meters & Instruments

Cable Fault Locators: 

GAO Tek cable fault locators are advanced devices designed to detect and identify faults in electrical cables, such as brakes, shorts, or insulation defects. These tools are critical for locating issues in underground, overhead, and embedded cables without the need for extensive excavation or dismantling. GAO’s cable fault locators use technologies like time domain reflectometry (TDR) and pulse-echo techniques to send signals through the cable and measure the time it takes for the signals to reflect. This allows us to precisely pinpoint the fault location. 

Applications of GAO’s cable fault locators span across industries like telecommunications, power distribution, and industrial automation. These devices are used to troubleshoot faults in power grids, communication networks, and control systems, improving efficiency and reducing downtime in various installations such as buildings, factories, and infrastructure projects. 

Alternative names for cable fault locators include cable testers, fault detection devices, and fault-finding instruments. Industry-specific terms may also include TDR testers and underground cable detectors. Our solutions are indispensable for maintenance teams focused on minimizing operational disruptions and ensuring reliable performance in complex electrical and network systems. 

Signal Level Meters: 

GAO’s signal level meters are precise instruments used to measure and analyze the strength and quality of signals across various communication systems. GAO’s meters are essential for ensuring that signals, such as those from cable TV, satellite, or broadband networks, are transmitted at the correct levels, preventing distortion, noise, or quality loss. We offer meters that can measure both analog and digital signals, providing detailed insights into signal strength, frequency, modulation, and potential interference. 

Applications of GAO Tek signal level meters span across telecommunications, broadcasting, and cable TV installation. Technicians use our tools to align antennas, troubleshoot signal issues in networks, and optimize the performance of communication systems. Signal level meters are indispensable during the installation and maintenance of systems where signal integrity is critical, including satellite, terrestrial, and broadband communication. 

Alternative names for signal level meters include field strength meters, RF signal meters, and signal analyzers. In some sectors, they may be referred to as CATV meters or satellite signal meters. These tools are vital for professionals tasked with ensuring reliable signal transmission and minimizing disruptions in sophisticated communication networks.
