Table 5-2. Smart Remote Requirements for Coaxial Single Tests
Test Smart Remote Requirements*
HDTDR analyzer Optional. Without a smart remote, the plot shows large reflections at the end of the
cabling.
Resistance Smart remote or terminator required for loop resistance measurement.
Length Not required.
Because a coaxial cable terminator eliminates signal reflections, the tester cannot measure
the length of terminated cabling. The tester shows End Not Found in this case.
Impedance Optional.
Without a smart remote or terminator, the tester cannot measure the impedance of cables
longer than 984 ft (300 m). The tester shows Unknown in this case.
Propagation delay Not required.
Because a coaxial cable terminator eliminates signal reflections, the tester cannot measure
the propagation delay of terminated cabling. In this case, the tester shows End Not Found.
Insertion Loss Required.
* If a remote is not required for a test, the test runs without activating the toner when no remote is detected.
