Spliced cables cause issues
Investigations uncovered undocumented splices in legacy runs; re-pulling and re-terminating resolved noise and dropouts.
Outcome
Signal integrity and uptime improved after removing splices, shielding the replacement run, and updating as-built drawings.
Highlights
- Tracing and TDR checks exposed hidden joints and poor terminations.
- Installed new cable with proper segregation, gland kits and earthing.
- Updated documentation to stop the issue returning on future works.
