Lines: 9 Cabletron makes a relatively inexpensive TDR that is good for both Ethernet (and I believe 75 Ohm cables as well). We've got one, but I'm not sure that we've made real good use of it. Generally, it reassures us that there is nothing wrong with the cable. It is useful for figuring out when someone has broken your thinnet or unhooked the terminator. These handheld units can probably do that as well. -Ron
