The tester adjusts the values for insertion loss so they show the
amplitudes of the signals at the sources of the reflections.

To see the plots for individual pairs, tap or . To select pairs
to show on the plot, touch or for one second to see the

The orange, dashed lines are at the start and end of the cabling
that the tester includes in the test results.
To zoom in and out, use the pinch, reverse-pinch, and double-
tap gestures on the touchscreen. You can also use the zoom
controls to change the magnification on the distance and
amplitude scales independently. See Figure 5 on page 24.
Note
For HDTDR plots for short cables such as patch cords,
the tester does not change the magnification for the
distance (horizontal) scale.
Refer to Figure 86:
 Open on pair 4,5 at approximately 24.3 m. A positive reflection
is an increase in impedance.
 Short on pair 1,2 at approximately 13.4 m. A negative reflection
is a decrease in impedance.
 Bad patch cord approximately 18.3 m from the main tester. This
patch cord was badly damaged.
