Suparule 600E Cable Height Meter
- Measures up to 6 wires, 75ft
Looking for a fast, accurate and safe way to measure overhead cable heights? The Suparule 600E Cable Height Meter is a lightweight, handheld device that provides quick and reliable measurements of up to six overhead wires, from ground level, without needing ladders, poles or lifts.
This Cable Height Meter is trusted by professionals in the utilities sector, including power, telecoms, and construction teams. It’s a modern and efficient alternative to telescopic measuring poles — giving you precise results simply by standing beneath the cables and pressing a button.
What Is the Suparule 600E Cable Height Meter?
The Suparule 600E is a precision-engineered ultrasonic device designed for measuring cable height, sag, and clearance of overhead lines. It uses bursts of ultrasonic sound to detect the position of up to six wires and display the result in either metric or imperial units.
It’s ideal for use in the field when you need to measure height quickly, safely and accurately — even in challenging environments or busy worksites.
How the Suparule 600E Works
The Suparule 600E Cable Height Meter works by sending out short bursts of ultrasonic sound from its cone-shaped sensor. These sound waves travel upward, bounce off the overhead cables, and return to the meter.
The built-in microprocessor then calculates the time it takes for the sound waves to return — using that data to determine the distance between the device and each cable above. This method is reliable and accurate, with a measurement precision of ±0.5%.
The device also compensates for temperature, which can affect the speed of sound. An integrated temperature sensor located on the front of the unit ensures readings remain accurate regardless of the weather.
To operate, simply power it on, allow the temperature to stabilise, and press the "Measure" button. For the best reading, stand directly beneath the cables and align the device along the cable line. A gentle “rock and tilt” may help refine the result.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Can the Suparule 600E be used indoors?
A. It is designed primarily for outdoor use with overhead cables, where ultrasonic signals can reflect clearly. It may not function reliably indoors due to echoes and obstructions.
Q2: What is the maximum height it can measure?
A. The Suparule 600E can measure overhead cables up to 23 metres (75 feet) in height.
Q3: How many cables can it detect at once?
A. This model can detect and measure the height of up to six separate wires, provided they are within its range.
Q4: Do I need special training to use it?
A. No — the device is extremely easy to use with just three buttons. Most users can operate it confidently with minimal instruction.
Q5: Does weather affect its performance?
A. The device includes a built-in temperature sensor to automatically adjust for changes in air temperature, helping to maintain accuracy in varying weather conditions.
When measuring sloping wires, it is necessary to have an idea of the direction of the slope of the wire. Position the meter with the back of the cone touching the ground, and the face of the cone pointing in the general direction of the wire. Tilt the Meter sideways and/or back and forth, still keeping the back of the cone on the ground, until a valid reading is received.
Note: when measuring multiple cables, they must be parallel to each other to ensure the meter "sees" them. If one or more of the cables has a different slope, then using the same theory described above, the echo returned from that cable may not reach the Meter, and therefore give a null or invalid reading.
