Testing Twisted Pair Cabling

Bridge Tap Detected
Figure 12 shows a bridge tap detected at about 53.2 m.
Only the first bridge tap detected is reported. The distance
to a bridge tap is approximate because multiple reflections
from the bridge tap interfere with length measurements.
Note
Bridge taps more than 328 ft (100 m) from the tester
or taps less than 16 ft (5 m) long may not be
detected.
