Users Manual
After connecting the cable under test to the appropriate
connector on top of the test tool, you must select proper
cable type, category, and size before testing or
measuring. It may also be necessary to calibrate the test
tool to the cable under test.
Caution
Having more than one cable connected to the
test tool causes erroneous measurements
If you think the test tool is not performing
properly, refer to "When Something Goes
Wrong".

Characteristics for a variety of LAN cables are designed
