An apparatus ( 100 ) and method ( 300 ) for determining the status of a electric cable ( 20 ) is provided. The apparatus ( 100 ) rigidly includes a probe ( 104 ) having coaxial contacts ( 150, 152 ) and including a melt unit ( 102 ) configured to melt an insulating jacket ( 32 ) of the cable ( 20 ), an instrumentation unit ( 106 ) coupled to the probe ( 104 ) and housing a cable analysis circuit ( 186 ), a status display unit ( 188 ) coupled to the instrumentation unit ( 106 ), an insulated shank ( 108 ) coupled to the instrumentation unit ( 106 ), and a hotstick adapter ( 110 ) coupled to the insulated shank ( 108 ). The cable analysis circuit ( 186 ) includes a connection determination circuit ( 200 ) configured to determine if an electrical connection between the probe ( 104 ) and the cable ( 20 ) is a valid connection, and a status determination circuit ( 222 ) configured to determine the status of the cable ( 20 ) while the electrical connection is a valid connection. The status display unit ( 188 ) includes a plurality of visual indicators ( 236 ) configured to impart connection condition and cable status to the user.
