RFL Test
Cat 510 Hardware
K-Test
Th
e HST-3000 equipped with the CAT 510 copper board adds an additional RFL test feature called K (Kup-
fmuller) Test. Th
e K-Test highlights its to locate double sided cable faults when no “good pair” is available.
Th
is scenario is common when Pulp or Paper insulated cable is damaged.
1. Th
e K-Test requires the following criteria:
a. Will provide accurate results on loops less than 7000 Ohm
b. Will provide accurate results for common cable faults up to 20 Mega Ohm
c. Th
e fault ratio between the two faulted conductors must be at least 2:1
d. Th
e highest fault value must be at least 100 times greater than the loop Ohm
e. Th
e two faults must occur at the same physical location in the cable
f. Because the K-Test is a two step process it is most eff ectively used in conjunction with the UFED.
UltraFED (uFED)
Th
e ULTRA Far End Device (FED) is used as a test aid with other test equipment (such as the JDSU HST-
3000c) when performing copper tests. After a technician has connected the FED to the far end of the pair
under test and has connected other test set to the near end, the near end equipment controls the FED using
DTMF tones to allow two-ended pair testing with a single piece of test equipment.
