About Splitters
If you get these results, there might be a splitter on the cable:
The tester cannot find the remote.
The tester looses communication with the remote. The test
might continue, then loose communication again as the
splitter interferes with the communication signal.
The length test shows End not found.
The resistance test shows an open.
The HDTDR plot shows a reflection that has an unusual shape.
Because splitters can cause unreliable test results, you should not
do tests through them.
