In some cases, it may be necessary to use single-conductor cable to
adapt to unbalanced devices. This may be because a single-conductor
cable is already molded to the desired unbalanced connector or
because single-conductor cable is already installed in the testing
environment.
These cables are considerably more susceptible to interference and
grounding problems than the two-conductor cables shown on the
previous page. The two-conductor arrangements should be used
whenever possible.
