6.18. Custom Cable Preferences and Cable Parameters
All cable types pre-programmed in LanTEK
®
II Cable Tester are based on a predefined test
standard. These pre-programmed preferences cannot be changed. If you wish to perform
other tests on a selected cable line, you first must create a custom cable.
Example: In addition to TIA 568B Category 5 tests, the return loss is to be measured (which
is not required by TIA). For this purpose, a custom cable is created and the tests selected
that are to be included in the test series for this cable.
A maximum of ten (10) custom cables can be created, stored, deleted and, if required,
loaded.
