Configuring a Custom Cable

The Configure Custom Cable function allows you to define custom test standards for up to four custom cables. You can change the following parameters for your custom configuration:

∙Baseline standard for cable definition

∙NVP (Nominal Velocity of Propagation)

∙Maximum cable length

∙Fault threshold for impedance anomalies

∙Active pair assignments for cable pairs

∙Resistance

∙Characteristic impedance test enabled or disabled

∙Attenuation test enabled or disabled

∙NEXT and NEXT@REMOTE tests enabled or disabled

∙RL test enabled or disabled

∙ACR and ACR@REMOTE tests enabled or disabled

∙PSNEXT and PSNEXT@REMOTE tests enabled or disabled (Model DSP-2000)

Note

To determine the NVP for a custom cable configuration refer to the previous section, “NVP Calibration.”

During the configuration process, you can abandon the changes you have made by pressing ! Abort. To reset a parameter back to the default value, highlight the parameter; then press @ Set to Default. To reset all of the parameters back to default values, highlight the test standard on Page 1 of 6 of the configuration screens; then press @ Set to Default.
