As we approach the holiday season, it is crucial to minimise delays caused by cable theft in the lead-up to Christmas. One of the key advantages of using CableGuardian is its incorporation of Spread Spectrum Time Domain Reflectometry (SSTDR) technology, all within an easy-to-install package. SSTDR excels at identifying cable faults and latent defects, including cable theft, conductor breaks, failing joints, and even damage caused by rodents or crushing. This proprietary technology not only helps to prevent failures but also ensures we can keep delays to an absolute minimum in the event of a major incident. So, why not safeguard against cable theft and damage this festive season by choosing CableGuardian?

Have you ever wondered how rain impacts a system's insulation resistance? Data from the CableGuardian portal reveals that rainfall reduces the system's overall IR, causing both the daily peaks and troughs to be lower than usual. Essentially, this means that the highest IR values recorded in dry conditions are reduced during rain, as are the lowest points. For example, the system shown in the video typically reaches a daily peak IR of about 400–600 kilohms, with troughs around 100–200 kilohms. However, after rainfall, the peak dropped to 99–132 kilohms, while the troughs fell to 57–67 kilohms. This clearly demonstrates how rainfall can significantly decrease a system's IR values - all of which are recorded and shown in the CableGuardian portal.
