Using Connector Gages
Before Connecting
Gaging is optional for the precision connectors in this
calibration kit if the male and female center conductors are
concentric and do not show physical damage.
However, due to the large range of dimensions found on
most DUT connectors, the DUT connectors must always be
inspected and gaged before connecting them to the
precision adapters. This is not usually a problem for the
DUT female connectors, but may be a problem for DUT
male connectors, especially the economical SMA and
SMA-compatible types.
