A pulse-based cable attenuation measurement system provides a measurement of attenuation characteristics of a cable over a wide frequency spectrum. A main test and troubleshooting unit of a cable test instrument applies stimulussignals via a selected one twisted pair in a LAN cable to a pulse receiver in a remote unit that in turn causes a pulse generator to produce a specified pulse of known amplitude and duration that is applied as a measurement pulse to a separate but adjacent twisted pair within the same bundle or cable. A measurement system analyzes the measurement pulse after it reaches the main unit and provides attenuation versus frequency information to determine whether the amount of signal loss due to attenuation in the cable is acceptable or not. |
