24 Be careful about torn connectors!! The wear and tear when connectors are connected and disconnected may result in measurement errors.! always check that the connectors are clean! only turn the socket or the nut! the contact pin may never spin round! always use a torque wrench! the connector may never be fastened by other tools if you tighten up to hard the thread is harmed! Test cables and connectors for professional use are only used for a limited period until they will be exchanged or reconditioned. Göran Jönsson, EIT Network Analysis 24!
