This Method of Implementation (MOI) is a guide for Connectors and Cable Assemblies/TxRx Hot TDR Compliance Tests using Keysight’s Vector Network Analyzer. State files test package contains pre-configured setups in accordance with the standard requirements and allows a quick and easy compliance test with pass/fail judgment.

Please download the MOI and state file test package according to your product platform listed below.
