	TX905 Cablemate CABLEMATE is an important new development of the well known LOOP-A-LINE, now providing the service technician with extra features which cut repair and installation costs even further! CABLEMATE consists of an OSCILLATOR or TONE SENDER, and a SIGNALLING PROBE. Two sets of test leads complete the equipment. In practice, the service technician connects the oscillator to the cable pair at exchange tag block or cabinet. Then at the FAR END by pressing ‘TONE’, the probe is first used to DISCONNECT the customer’s service and IDENTIFY THE PAIR. Adjustable warble tones are available for multiple working. After pair identification, the PROBE LEADS may now be connected to the FAULTY PAIR, (live or dead) and the oscillator signalled by pressing ‘OPEN’ or ‘SHORT’ buttons, to provide dial or ring-back checks, and bridge fault location tests to be performed. After repair or installation, a final press of the ‘CONNECT EXCHANGE’ button restores the customer’s service, and the job is completed.
4 STEPS TO BETTER CABLE MANAGEMENT Press ‘TONE’ for Pair Identification Mode – Exchange now disconnected Press ‘OPEN’ – Dial-tone and ring-back tests Press ‘SHORT’ – D.C. Short Circuit. Fault location tests Press ‘CONNECT EXCHANGE’ – Exchange re-connected The telecommunications industry relies on high-quality cable installation and maintenance practice. NOW, new CABLEMATE TX905 dramatically increases efficiency by allowing an unassisted line technician working up to 20 kms from the exchange to disconnect the customer’s service, identify the cable pair, open and close the loop, and re-connect the customer.
