It's a fairly simple device, really. It sends an impulse (either electrical or optical) to down a cable. A TDR measures the time it takes the impulse to leave it's point of origin, reflect off of an object (usually a break in a cable) and return to the starting point. The time is then calculated to distance and one can easily locate where the break in the cable is.

Metric....Australia changed to metric from imperial many years ago. A lot of oldies still only understand imperial, but metric is the way to go. If the US would catch up with the rest of the world, it would be so much better.
