A camera with more than 100 ft of cable reaches the main on long laterals, rural lots and commercial lines. Most come on a wheeled reel, and many add a sonde, a locator or a distance counter, since on a long run knowing where the fault is matters as much as seeing it. A thicker cable pushes further before it buckles.
