Abstract
A system and method to monitor a cable using noise-domain reflectometry. A receiver is configured to receive a signal and a reflection of the signal transmitted through the cable. The reflection of the signal can be indicative of a fault condition relating to the integrity of the cable. A processor is in communication with the receiver and configured to analyze the signal and the reflection using noise-domain reflectometry and determine the fault condition of the cable.
