Anritsu FAQs
What is the most common cause of antenna/cable failure?
Connectors! Improperly assembled or installed connectors cause a significant number of cell site problems. Many do not exhibit any problems at the time of commissioning, but much later as the elements take their toll on the system. This can often be found early during a maintenance period. By making similar DTF measurements at both the installation and the maintenance, changes in connector performance can easily be seen. Other sources of cell site problems include crimped, dented, crushed or punctured cables. Check your cable vendor's specifications for installation to be sure you exercise proper handling.
