Methods of locating galvanic faults in symmetrical copper pair cables in DSL systems

This paper gives brief overview of possible methods for approximate locating of galvanic faults in cables with symmetrical copper pair cables as well as possible methods of repairing the same ones. The main focus is based on two principal methods of locating faults like the use of measuring instruments that run on the basis of bridge measuring methods and measuring instruments which use time domain impulse reflectometry.
