2. A cable that is left unconnected on a
bench, or carried across a room, can
develop a large static charge. Discharge
the static voltage from all cables before
connecting them to the instrument or
device under test by momentarily
grounding the center conductor of the
cable, or by connecting a 50 Ω
termination to one end, before attaching
the cable to the instrument.
CAUTION. Do not use a tool (such as a
screwdriver, wrench end, etc) to short the
center conductor to the ground shell on
the connector, as any sort of scratch or
nick may damage the RF response of the
cable.
