DISTANCE TO FAULT:

An ideal differential network cable pair has a 100-ohm impedance along the entire length. In reality, the impedance varies from 100 ohms in different amounts along the cabling link, the deviation being more significant at the positions of connectors. The return Loss (RL) Locator plot provides a view of the cable along its length. The locations of peaks in the RL Locator are representative of spots with poor impedance control. When a cable fails autotest, the RL locator helps determine the TDR or distance to the fault location along the cabling link that is most likely to have caused the failure.

This is a great aid for troubleshooting. With accurate location information of the problem spot, a technician can focus on fixing the issue on that part of the cable, whether it is the result of:

Impedance mismatch in components (non-compliant or damaged cable, inadequate cabling installation practices, too much tension on cables, kinks or non-compliant connecting hardware/patch cords

Improper termination practices (pair twist not maintained, excessive cable sheath removal)

Incorrect or substandard components (all cable & connecting hardware must be of the same category/class/quality)
