Cable Preparation
Cable Preparation Problems
Non-Flush Cut
Cables which require a flush cut, such as for GTC-XXX-TX-N (“Pogo”) connectors,
might not actually be cut in such a way. This can cause an inconsistent connection or
poor repeatability of the SRL measurement.

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.
