DMM Tests

Copper, VDSL2, ADSL2+, and IP Triple-Play Test Set

DMM

Longitudinal Balance

The 

Long. Balance

 test allows you to 

check that the longitudinal balance 
ratio for the twisted pair complies with 
applicable standards so as to reduce 
the effects of common-mode voltage 
to ground. The better the longitudinal 
balance of the cable pair, the higher 
the dB reading.

To start/stop the test:

Press 

 to start/stop the test.

Test results are displayed on the screen as they are completed.
