COAX Cable Field Calibration and Testing
With LANTEK, AUTOTEST is the easiest and quickest way to measure and verify your
cable installation. A variety of supported coaxial cable type can be found under “Cable
Types”. LANTEK can support coaxial cable testing to the standards identified below.
Under each specific cable type, you will also find the specific test limits by executing
the following steps:
1.
From the DH Ready Screen, press <SHIFT>F4 or select “Cable Type”
2.
Using the ARROW Keys, select “Ethernet”.
3.
Within the Ethernet Cable Type screen, highlight cable type “10Base 2”, then
select the softkey CREATE.
4.
The Create Custom Cable screen appears, use the ARROW KEYS and highlight
“Test Limits” and press ENTER to view the specific test limits for this cable.

COAX FIELD CALIBRATION AND TESTING PROCEDURE
Field Calibration using COAX adapters uses a modification of the LANTEK 4-step
process. Since COAX testing is done for low frequencies, the additional data obtained
during the calibration process is essentially ignored, and therefore the LANTEK will
request one calibration process step to be performed.
To start testing COAX cable, refer to Setting Preferences and Autotest & Single Test
for Structured Cable as indicated in previous Chapters for details.
Please follow the procedures below to perform cable selection of COAX cables:
Note: The LANTEK COAX adapters are configured with BNC connectors. User
supplied adapters will be necessary to convert to-from BNC to F (CATV) or other
connector types.
1.
From the DH Ready Screen, press <SHIFT>F4 or highlight the Cable Type icon,
press ENTER.
2.
Using the ARROW KEYS highlight “Misc. Types” and press ENTER.
3.
Highlight the desired Cable Test Standard, press ENTER. The display will revert to
the Ready Screen with the selected cable type updated.
Note: Other COAX Cable Types Available: RG59 & RG6
