NMD Connectors

NMD denotes a connector, developed at Hewlett-Packard’s Network

Measurements Division, that has larger than standard coupling

threads (for greater stability). NMD connectors are used on test

ports, test port adapters, and test port cables.

Female NMD connectors are used on the test set end of adapters

and cables, and

cannot

be connected to standard male 2.4 mm

connectors.

Male NMD connectors are used on test sets (as test ports), and on

the DUT end of adapters and cables. Male connectors have

both

the

larger threads (for use with test port adapters)

and

standard threads

(for direct coupling to devices under test).

PSC denotes a precision

slotless

connector. Precision

slotless

connectors are metrology grade connectors that have better electrical

performance, better repeatability, and are more durable than slotted

connectors.

Incoming Inspection

Use Table 41 to verify that your shipment is complete. To verify the

electrical performance of the cable(s), see Chapter 3.

If the packaging material or a cable appears to be damaged, set

everything aside and contact the nearest Hewlett-Packard office (see

inside the back cover of this manual). Hewlett-Packard will arrange

for repair or replacement of incomplete or damaged shipments

without waiting for a settlement from the transportation company.

To verify the operation of the cable(s), with an HP 8510, see

Table 3-l.
