The '''Tektronix 1502''' is a series of Time Domain Reflectometers commonly used to test coaxial cables, although they have many other uses.
The '''Tektronix 1502''' is a series of Time Domain Reflectometers which replaced the [[1501]] in 1975.  The 1502 is for high resolution, sister model [[1503]] for long range.


They are commonly used to test coaxial cables, although they have many other uses.
