Abstract
An electrical characterization and fault isolation probe can include a cable, a connector, and a coating over a portion of the cable. The cable can have a first conductor having a first impedance, a second conductor having a second impedance, and a dielectric surrounding the first conductor and electrically isolating the first conductor from the second conductor. The connector can physically couple to, and be in electrical communication with, the cable. The connector can include a first electrical communication pathway and a second electrical communication pathway. The first electrical communication pathway can be electrically isolated from the second electrical communication pathway. The first electrical communication pathway can be in electrical communication with the first conductor. The second electrical communication pathway can be in electrical communication with the second conductor. The connector can have a fifth impedance.
