The end of the cabling.

Sorting Events

You can sort the event table in ascending or descending
order by the items in a column. For example, you could sort
by the loss values in a wavelength column to put the events
with the highest loss at the top of the table. By default, the
table is sorted in ascending order by event location. The
table returns to this order when you exit the EVENT TABLE
screen.

Table 3-4. Event Types (cont.)
The tester identifies the end of the cabling as the point where the backscatter
stops. The tester does not measure the loss of END events. Note that a very high-
loss event, such as a sharp bend, can appear to be the end of the cabling.
