Qualifying Cabling with the Autotest
35

The cabling failed the Autotest because it
is shorted. The short is at 82.9 m in this
example.
Note
Devices with low input resistance
may be reported as a short.
There is a splitter or fault somewhere along the cabling. Faults that typically
cause this message are impedance faults, such as a section of cable with the
wrong impedance.
If there is a splitter between the tester and wiremap adapter, the tester
cannot verify continuity to the adapter, and may indicate that a device is
connected.
Length cannot be determined because the splitter or fault interferes with
reflections used for length measurements.
Tip:
Use the TDR plot in Discover mode to locate impedance problems on
coaxial cabling. See page 44.
The
Splitter or Fault
message may also appear on the other coaxial screens
described in this section.
