— Jumper cable or adapter to connect the beginning of the DUT to the
FieldFox.
— LOAD with correct connector type and gender to terminate the end of the
DUT (if possible).
— The known length and cable type of the DUT. If the cable type is not known,
then the Cable Loss (dB/Meter) and Velocity Factor of the DUT are required.
