DSX Coax Adapter Datasheet

 

The DSX-COAX kit contains these items:

  • Two DSX-CHA003 adapters
  • Two female to female F-connector adapters
  • Two F-connector female to BNC female adapters
  • One 12 inch (30 cm) 75 W coaxial patch cord with male F-connectors
     

The DSX-COAX adapters must be referenced using the 12 inch coax reference cable shipped with the adapters prior to performing an Autotest. 

 

DSX-CHA003 Coax Adapters Users Guide

 

The Autotest on Coax includes these tests:

  • Longitud
  • Resistance (remote or terminator required)
  • Impedance (limit depends on cable type; see limits document below)
  • Insertion Loss (remote required)
  • Retardo de propagación
  • HDTDR analyzer (HDTDR limit of 15% identifies anomalies in the physical cable plant, if present).

 

Refer to the DSX Limits document for choosing the appropriate Coax test limit for your job.
