Since the TDR relies on the reflected signal of an improperly terminated cable, there are several factors that can affect

the accuracy of the physical length estimate. These include:

Cable Type (CAT 5, CAT5e, CAT6):

The electrical length of each cable type is slightly different due to the twists-

per-meter of the internal signal pairs and differences in signal propagation speeds. If the cable type is known, the

length estimate can be calculated more accurately by using the propagation constant appropriate for the cable

type (see Table 11-5). In many real-world applications the cable type is unknown, or may be a mix of different

cable types and lengths. In this case, use the propagation constant for the “unknown” cable type.

TX and RX Pair:

For each cable type, the EIA standards specify different twist rates (twists-per-meter) for each

signal pair within the Ethernet cable. This results in different measurements for the RX and TX pair.

Actual Cable Length:

The difference between the estimated cable length and actual cable length grows as the

physical cable length increases, with the most accurate results at less than approximately 100 m.

Open/Short Case:

The Open and Shorted cases will return different TDR Channel Length values (electrical

lengths) for the same physical distance to the fault. Compensation for this is achieved by using different propa-

gation constants to calculate the physical length of the cable.

For the Open case, the estimated distance to the fault can be calculated as follows:

Distance to Open fault in meters

TDR Channel Length * POPEN

Where: POPEN is the propagation constant selected from Table 11-5

For the Shorted case, the estimated distance to the fault can be calculated as follows:

Distance to Open fault in meters

 TDR Channel Length * PSHORT

Where: PSHORT is the propagation constant selected from Table 11-5

The typical cable length measurement margin of error for Open and Shorted cases is dependent on the selected cable

type and the distance of the open/short from the device. Table 11-6 and Table 11-7 detail the typical measurement error

for Open and Shorted cases, respectively.
