1.6.1. The measurement cable from LTT

LTT offer optional a pre-configured measurement cable. The cable has a length of 3 meter. One end is configured
with an ODU connector and the second end is open for own configuration.

The shielded cable offers 4 Twisted-Pair lines, which are shielded too.
Die Pin-Layout is like following:
