Longitudinal Balance
Longitudinal Balance
The
Long. Balance
test allows you to
check that the VF 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:

Load Coil Detection
The
Load Coil
detection test allows
you to detect the presence of load

of DSL technologies on the line. If a
load coil is detected, use the time
domain reflectometry (TDR) test to
quickly locate and remove it from the
cable.Test results are displayed in
graphical form.
