NOTES
1. Some variation in the measured length of wire pairs within
the same cable is considered normal. This is due to the
difference in construction of the individual pairs.
Length variation from pair to pair will be greater for
longer cable lengths.
2. An asterisk (*) next to a PASS result indicates that the
measured value is close enough to the standard input that
it is within the measurement uncertainty of the LANcat.
3. When measuring spooled and other uninstalled cables, the
cable length will probably be greater than the specification
test limit. This will cause a FAIL Length test result. In this
case, you may ignore the fail message.
4. A cable found to have a “short” will cause length test to
FAIL regardless of measured length.
5. OPEN or SHORT usually indicates that a pair ends in an
open or a short. However, if the Remote Unit is used, an
OPEN result should be displayed for each pair.
6. Propagation Delay is the time in nanoseconds for a pulse to
travel the length of a twisted pair.
7. For instruction on changing length units (feet/meters), refer
to Chapter 8, Set Up.
