A.4 Sealing the Downhole TDR Cable End
Cut off the free end from the spooled end so that there is a clean open circuit. The cable cutters are for quick
severing of the cable if more than one length comes for a single spool.
The Downside termination should be a clean open circuit. The cable cutters tend to crush and short the outer
conductor to the inner conductor. So, the cable should be cut with the hacksaw before sealing.
