Do Tests on Coaxial Cabling

Figure 2 shows typical connections for tests on coaxial cabling. Be sure to select the 
test limit applicable to the link. 

The Autotest includes these tests:



Length



Resistance (remote or terminator required)



Impedance



Insertion Loss (remote required)



Propagation delay



HDTDR analyzer

Note

The minimum cable length for an impedance measurement is 
13 ft (4 m). For impedance measurements on shorter cables, 
the tester shows 

Cable too short

, and an   for the impedance 

and overall test results.

If No Remote is Connected

If the remote tester is not connected or the cable is too long, the main tester’s toner 
turns on and the 

MEASURE

 button shows. If you tap 

MEASURE

, the tester does the 

length, impedance, and resistance tests, which do not require a remote. If a 
terminator is connected, the tester gives a resistance measurement, but shows 

End 

not found

 for the length measurement.

For More Information

For more information on coaxial tests and results, see the documentation supplied 
with your tester and available on the Fluke Networks website.
