Use Cases

This chapter contains use cases for a variety of deployment scenarios.

6.1

Cable Test

Using the MS-TestPro, you can test the ability of a CATx cable (CAT5e and above) to transmit
HDBaseT signals over lengths of 100m and more.

◼

A Basic Analysis window indicating the ability to carry HDBaseT traffic, and indicating:

◼

Overall cable performance.

◼

Calculation of the cable length according to the HDBaseT standard

◼

Report generator for issuance of HDBaseT cable certification.

◼

Performance screen indicating per-pair signal quality indications:

◼

MaxErr

predicts the likelihood that a data link (cable) will have a bit error.

◼

MseErr

essentially describes the signal to noise ratio of the data link. Signal attenuation

over length.
