Set the Reference

The reference procedure for twisted pair cable sets the baseline
for insertion loss, ACR-F, and DC resistance measurements.

tester can save reference values for eight different pairs of
modules.
 When you attach Class F/F
optional DSX-PLA011 TERA
Every 30 days, at minimum. To ensure maximum accuracy of

interface adapters (unless you attach Class F/F
adapters).
