This mode looks at “two terminals” or leads at a time (TR/AB, TG/AE, or RG/BE) and gives a result of the capacitance seen only on those leads. There is a mathematical way to do 3 terminal capacitances, which we do not do at this time. ONX-580 User's Guide July 2021 22052280...

The Opens length result to ground/earth might be used for locating an issue. Other issues can potentially be located with the TDR. Balance problems may have to be found by sectionalizing the cable. ONX-580 User's Guide 22052280 July 2021...

A calculation of the balance is done and displayed. This can be a more accurate and consistent measurement of balance. And this method also allows you to get accurate measurements on unterminated lines. Longitudinal Balance and PI/Noise/Balance are both valuable tests. ONX-580 User's Guide July 2021 22052280...

UFED transmitter is active. This provides the signal level of that frequency that coupled from one pair to the other. The result is the received level compared to the known transmitted level. Specification FEXT (UFED) range: 10kHz–30MHz Wideband only ONX-580 User's Guide 22052280 July 2021...

If noise level is unacceptable, use the Spectral analyser to see noise sources and level. The VIAVI UFED is a convenient way to send a tone from the far end. In the Voice Frequency band, the SNR measurement uses an 820 or 1020 Hz tone.

The resistance of the wires should be close in value. If not, there might be bad splices / joints. Use the Resistive Balance Option in Resistance. Bad splices might be located with the TDR. ONX-580 User's Guide 22052280 July 2021...
Look for a slope or a mostly flat line on the graph. It is normal for the result go down as the frequency goes up. Large variations could indicate a fault. Return Loss will only detect faults on part of long cable sections due to loss at high frequencies. ONX-580 User's Guide July 2021 22052280...
