Cable Preparation
Cable Preparation Problems
Deformed Cable
Compressing the dielectric (the gap) will produce egg-shaped or oval deformations
which can cause impedance mismatches and affect the quality of the connector
model compensation. See
Figure 2-2. This can easily happen when using diagonal
cutters to cut the cable.

NOTE The built-in connector modeling will attempt to remove the effects of the connector.
However, the modeling cannot remove the effects of the cable bend.
