Telephone Cables

[Old Jag Lover]

My oldest daughter used a thumper to find a fault in an u/g cable that failed with watertrees,too bad there were two 400 pair telephone cables and 4 fibre broadband cables nearby,Telstra were not amused old lady thought Al Qaeda had arrived.

Obviously you people don't know what a thumper is you just dig the street up usually just after it has been retarred.....

ive been on site to see a thumper try and blow clear a intermitant cable fault under a motorway
it failed miserably and we ended up trenching out the slip road in the end.

brains over braun as they say.

Yeah I am warming to the guy, he is bonkers, that means he will fit in perfectly around here, he has not mentioned part p or the ashes once and has had me in stitches every time he posts, about time he was given arms status lol.

Arms Status??

The bloke's enough of a crackpot to be given at least Admin or even Dan Status.

A thumper is used to locate a short not clear it

I used a mega and or a time domain reflectometer back in the eighties. They were both pretty accurate i.e. to within about a meter over hundreds of yards (little meters). It was a sod when someone left a loop of cable in the run though!
