2 Add the total of all cable sections. If the total of all sections exceeds
175 ohm, select another loop.
Note: The loop resistance limit of 175 ohm must be reduced by 1 ohm for
each percent of the loop that is aerial cable (see Table 41 on
page 300 ).
Performing Loop Diagnostic Tests
The following equipment is required for the loop diagnostic tests in
Procedure 47 on
page 300 :
• one volt-ohmmeter (VOM) for each test
• one 77 cable analyzer or equivalent for each test
Procedure 47
Testing foreign voltage
1 Set the VOM range switch to a scale 60 V DC/V AC or greater.
2 Connect the VOM test probes to the loop at the line card or distributing
frame.
3 Measure the DC and AC voltage between the following points under
no-load conditions:
• tip (T) and ring (R)
• T and ground (GND)
• R and GND
Requirement: Voltage readings should be less than 1 V DC/V AC.
