Patchcord on RL module Output It is recommended that you attach a patchcord with a high return loss
connector to the Return Loss module output.
CAUTION Agilent Technologies supplies patchcords with a Diamond HMS-
10/Agilent/HRL high return loss connector on one end. These
patchcords are necessary so that the connector at the output is not
damaged. The full range of patchcords available are described in Table
