ntroduction
The FaultChaser is a self-contained, hand-held, battery powered test unit operated by
contractors, repair technicians, and other authorized users. This device is used to

identifies cable faults, and quickly discovers the Nominal Velocity of Propagation (NVP)
for a cable using Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR).
