Abstract

A method for detecting an operational condition of a multi-conductor cable is described, and which includes generating a first, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal which is introduced into a multi-conductor cable; processing the first, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal so as to generate a first, differential time domain reflectometer signal; supplying the first, differential time domain reflectometer signal to the multi-conductor cable; converting a reflected, differential time domain reflectometer signal into a second, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal; numerically and/or graphically analyzing the second, single ended, time domain reflectometer signal; and identifying, by the numerical and/or graphical analysis, an operational condition of the multi-conductor cable undergoing the testing.
