Reduce excavation risk and speed up cable repair workflow.

Before a cable is cut, repaired, excavated, or returned to service, crews need reliable route information, cable identity, and fault position guidance. RCC’s BAUR product line includes route locators, cable identification tools, sheath fault location systems, audio frequency transmitters, and cable fault pin-pointing equipment.

01

Identify the right cable

Use dedicated identification systems to help confirm single- and multi-core cables in a cable bundle before work begins.

02

Trace route and alignment

Locator and transmitter tools help determine cable route alignment and support field crews working around buried assets.

03

Pinpoint the fault

Pin-pointing systems and sheath fault locators help narrow down the practical field repair area and reduce unnecessary excavation.

Choose the BAUR tool for your field workflow.

In our BAUR category includes tools for cable locating/tracing, cable identification, pin-pointing, sheath fault location, and audio frequency transmission.

Frequently asked questions

Common questions when selecting BAUR cable identification, tracing, and pin-pointing equipment.

What is this BAUR category used for?

This category supports cable identification, cable route tracing, cable fault pin-pointing, sheath fault location, and audio frequency transmitter workflows for field cable maintenance and repair work.

Which product is used for cable identification?

KSG 200 as a BAUR cable identification system used to identify single- and multi-core cables in a cable bundle.

Which products are available as rentals?

Protrac Rental for cable fault pin-pointing and SHIRLA Rental for cable sheath fault location. Both listings show pricing for a 2-week rental period.

What is the difference between tracing and pin-pointing?

Tracing helps determine the route or alignment of a cable. Pin-pointing is used after fault pre-location to narrow down the final physical fault position for repair or excavation.

How should I choose between CL20, UL30, TG transmitters, KSG 200, Protrac, and SHIRLA?

Choose based on the field task: cable route tracing, cable identification, final fault pin-pointing, or sheath fault location. we can help confirm the correct BAUR tool package and accessories.

Cable identification

Usually, multiple cables are laid in a cable route. After the exact position of the fault is found and uncovered, the defective cable must be identified reliably. Cable identification is used to identify single- and multi-core cables in a cable loom. The measurement engineer is provided with precise information as to which cable needs to be tested and, where necessary, cut.

Tracing

To precisely determine the cable route. Precise cable tracing is essential, particularly with unknown or imprecise cable routes, and saves both time and money.

Pin-Pointing

Cable fault pin-pointing and tracing
 

  • A flexible system for every cable fault pin-pointing and tracing requirement
  • Very convenient operation thanks to wireless Bluetooth® connections
  • Precise 3D user guidance to the fault
  • Outstanding acoustic quality thanks to ANS (adaptive noise suppression) and large range

 

protrac® – the matching solution for your cable fault pin-pointing

As precise as pre-location is, it will never be able to recognise the deviations of a cable route in the ground. These can only be detected by precise pin-pointing. With its protrac®, BAUR offers different solutions that combine acoustic and electro-magnetic cable fault pin-pointing, sheath fault location and tracing in a single system.
