Cable Preparation
Cable Preparation Problems
Contaminated Dielectric
When a cable is cut, contamination of the dielectric can occur from cuttings or
shrapnel from the outer or inner conductor. This type of contamination can cause
problems and change the connector model compensation needed.
Figure 2-3 Contaminated Cable Dielectric
NOTE The built-in connector modeling will attempt to remove the effects of the connector.
The extent to which the effects of the connector can be removed may depend on the
quality of the cable preparation as well as the connector.
