Chapter 3: Certify Coaxial Cabling
The optional DSX-CHA003 coaxial adapters let you use the DSX
CableAnalyzer to certify coaxial cabling for network and video
applications.
Set the Reference for Coaxial Tests
To use DSX-CHA003 adapters, you must set the reference for
coaxial tests. The reference procedure sets a baseline for insertion
loss and resistance measurements.
Set the reference at these times:
Every 30 days, at minimum.
To ensure maximum accuracy of test results, set the reference
daily.
Note
It is not necessary to set the reference again if you
use different coaxial adapters.
To set the reference
1 Make the connections shown in Figure 22.
2 Turn on the tester and the remote a minimum of 5 minutes
before you set the reference.
