Platinum Tools announced the Snap Shot (p/n TSS200) fault finding/cable length measurement TDR. With the Snap Shot, technicians can measure attached working data lines, electrical cable runs and live coax systems for run lengths, and to see if there are any existing electrical faults while the cable is in use and under power.

Platinum Tools launched the VDV MapMaster 2.0 voice, data and video tester that now has cable length measurement.

When talking about video systems, any discussion of cabling is undoubtedly intertwined with a discussion about power and power supplies. This is especially true when the conversation steers towards running power and video signals over the same wire, whether using power over Ethernet (PoE) or another type of cable.
