Cable Preparation Problems
Damaged Outer Conductor
The outer conductor may be cut or dented when the outer insulation is removed.
This can cause a close-in fault which cannot be compensated by the connector
model.
Figure 2-4 Scarred Outer Conductor of Cable
NOTE The built-in connector modeling will attempt to remove the effects of the connector
at 0.0 ft. However, the modeling may not remove the effects of the outer conductor
damage (which is a few inches into the cable).
