11.3.1 Pre-Power Testing
Before plugging the RJ45 from the lower LPU (or if not fitted the ODU) into the PIDU, check the
following resistances at the RJ45:
1. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&2, 3&6, 4&5 and 7&8 at the RJ45. Check against
column 2 in Table 17. Resistances for each pair should be within 1 ohm of each other.
2. Check the cable resistance between pins 1&3 and 4&7 at the RJ45. Check against columns 3
and 4 respectively in Table 17.
3. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pins 1&8 for all cable lengths.
4. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 1 and ODU ground for all cable
lengths.
5. Ensure that there is greater than 100K ohms between pin 8 and ODU ground for all cable
lengths.
