“dips” in the frequency response curve. Th e fact that a lower frequency has lower amplitude then a higher frequency Th e test can be performed using the HST-3000 in-conjunction with the UFED to send and Insertion Loss receive a .

Th is test is typically run from the customer premises to cross box. Procedure 1. Connect the Tip and Ring test leads from the HST-3000 to the desired pair. Connect the ground lead to a valid earth ground reference (con- nected to HST-3000 as shown in the fi gure on Page 4).
