1.1 Product Overview
2
The Hioki 3665-20 LAN CABLE HiTESTER is a hand-held cable
tester that provides easy operations to test wiremap, measure 3
cable length and identify twisted-pair cables. It is useful for veri-
fying connections after installing connectors on cables. Optional
4
terminators are available to facilitate easy identification of multi-
ple cables. The HiTester is especially convenient for testing
cables in working networks in the event of faults caused by 5
open- or short-circuited cable wiring.

Troubleshoot cables in working networks

When an open- or short-circuit fault is present in a cable, the
HiTester displays the distance along the cable from it to the fault.
So when a problem occurs in a working network, the HiTester
determines whether the problem is caused by an open- or short-
circuit in the cable, and its location (p.30).

Identifying cables installed together

When multiple cables are installed together, distinguishing which
cable is connected to what device can be difficult. However, the
HiTester can easily identify multiple cables by using optional ter-
minators. Up to 21 cables can be identified using multiple termi-
nators (p.31).

Preparations Chapter 2 1
2.1 Installing the Batteries 2
Before using the HiTester, install two AA-size (LR6) alkaline bat- 3
teries. Also, before each test, verify that the batteries have suffi-
cient remaining capacity, and replace them if they are weak.
4
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or differ-
ent types of batteries. Also, be careful to 5
observe battery polarity during installation.
Otherwise, poor performance or damage
from battery leakage could result. 6
• To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not
short circuit, disassemble or incinerate bat-
teries. 7
• Handle and dispose of batteries in accor-
dance with local regulations. 8

• Do not attempt to use any power source other

than the specified AA-size (LR6) alkaline batter-
ies. Operating time with non-alkaline (manga-
nese) batteries is shorter.

14 2.1 Installing the Batteries
1. Remove the test cable, if connected.

2. Turn the HiTester off.
3. Remove the battery compartment cover from the rear of
the HiTester.
4. Install the new batteries, with attention to proper polarity.
5. Replace the battery compartment cover.

3.1 Basic Procedure 17
Cable Testing
Procedures Chapter 3 1
3.1 Basic Procedure 2
• To avoid equipment damage, do not attempt to 3

test a cable connected to an operating network.
The RJ-45 cable test jacks on the HiTester and
terminators are intended for testing only stand- 4
alone cables.
• Do not connect any cable other than the twisted
pair cable. For example, a voltage of approxi- 5
mately 48 V is applied to a live telephone wire,
and therefore will damage the HiTester if it is
connected to the wire. 6
• Remove a cable to be checked from any device
or a network hub before connecting the cable to
the instrument. Inserting the cable left con- 7
nected with a device or hub into the instrument
can cause damage to the instrument and
device. 8
The characteristics of twisted-pair cables can vary
depending on installation conditions. Avoid unnec- 9
essary bending of cables to be tested. When nec-
essary to bend a cable, the radius of curvature
should be at least four times the outer diameter of 10
the cable.

3.3 Checking Cable Length

Cable length is displayed at the bottom right.
• The wire length of each pair is displayed along

the bottom when an open, short or split pair is
detected, or when a disconnected terminator or
terminator error is detected.
The length of each wire pair may be displayed as
a different value depending on the cable type,
twisted pair condition or measurement accuracy.
The wire length of a split pair may be displayed
as shorter than its actual length (when an imped-
ance mismatch exists).
HIOKI 3665A981-05
3.3 Checking Cable Length 29
• The HiTester measures cable lengths from 2 to

300 meters (6.6 to 984 feet). Cable lengths out-
side of this range are not displayed.

• It is recommended to set an NVP value to mea- 3

sure cable length accurately.

Setting Procedure Chapter 4

4.1 Setting an NVP Value
2
NVP is the speed of a signal through a cable relative to the
speed of light in a vacuum. See "Section Theory of Cable
Length Measurement" (p.36) for details. 3
The optimum NVP value setting depends on the type of cable
and twist state of the wire pairs. Cable length measurement 4
accuracy can be optimized by setting the appropriate value for
the actual type of cable to be measured. The default HiTester
setting is 0.684. 5

HIOKI 3665A981-05
34 4.1 Setting an NVP Value
4.1.1 Settings for Standard Cable

The most accurate cable length measurements are achieved by
setting the NVP value to match the actual type of cable to be
tested. Before measuring, prepare a standard reference cable
using a known length of exactly the same type as that to be
tested. Calibrate the HiTester according to the following proce-
dure.
We recommend that the standard reference cable
be at least 100 m (382 feet) long.
A shorter length may result in larger measurement
errors due to the inaccurate NVP value obtained.
1. Prepare a standard reference cable and measure its

actual (physical) length.
(This example shows a 100 m standard reference cable.)
2. Connect the HiTester to the standard reference cable.

3. Turn the HiTester on, and hold the SET for one second to
display the Settings screen.
4. Select "Length Adjust" with the  /  keys, and press

5. Press the TEST key to measure the cable length.

The cable length measure-
ment range of this instru-
ment is 2 to 300 m (6.6 to
2
984-ft.).

6. Change the NVP value with the  /  keys so that the
displayed length matches the measured physical length

36 4.1 Setting an NVP Value
Theory of Cable Length Measurement
The HiTester employs the TDR (time domain reflectometry)

method to measure the amount of time from the input of a pulse
to the return of its reflected wave from the far end of the cable.
Model 3665-20 LAN CABLE HiTESTER
Pulse Terminator
Near End Cables being Far End

checked
Length is calculated by the following formula:

C × T × NVP
L=
2
L : Cable length (m)
C : Speed of light in a vacuum = 3 × 108 (m/s)
T : Pulse propagation time from insertion to reflection return (s)
NVP : Nominal Velocity of Propagation (the speed of a signal through a
cable relative to the speed of light in a vacuum.)
Measurement Accuracy
Cable length measurement accuracy is ± 4% rdg. ± χ m, where

χ is the quantization error calculated as follows:
C × t × NVP
χ =
2
C : Speed of light in a vacuum = 3 × 108 (m/s)
t : Finest time resolution 10 × 10-9 (s)
NVP : Nominal Velocity of Propagation
(Signal propagation speed as a percentage of the speed of light in
a vacuum)
In the default case with NVP value of 0.684, χ ≅ 1.
Refer to "Section Accuracy" (p.41) for details
about rdg.

7.1 Cleaning 49
Maintenance
and Service Chapter 7 1
Never modify the instrument. Only Hioki service 2

engineers should disassemble or repair the instru-
ment. Failure to observe these precautions may
result in fire, electric shock, or injury. 3
7.1 Cleaning 4
• To clean the instrument, wipe it gently with a soft cloth moist- 5

ened with water or mild detergent.
Never use solvents such as benzene, alcohol, 6

acetone, ether, ketones, thinners or gasoline, as
they can deform and discolor the case.
7
• Wipe the LCD gently with a soft, dry cloth.

7.2 Troubleshooting
9
If damage is suspected, check the "Troubleshooting" section
before contacting your authorized Hioki distributor or reseller.
10
When sending the instrument for repair, remove
the batteries and pack carefully to prevent damage 索引
in transit. Include cushioning material so the instru-
ment cannot move within the package. Be sure to
include details of the problem. Hioki cannot be
responsible for damage that occurs during ship-
ment.

7.4 Replacing the Batteries
Replace batteries if they are weak.
• Do not mix old and new batteries, or differ-

ent types of batteries. Also, be careful to
observe battery polarity during installation.
Otherwise, poor performance or damage
from battery leakage could result.
• To avoid the possibility of explosion, do not
short circuit, disassemble or incinerate bat-
teries.
• Handle and dispose of batteries in accor-
dance with local regulations.
To avoid electric shock, turn off the power and dis-

connect the testing cable before replacing the bat-
teries. After replacing the batteries, replace the
cover before using the instrument.

• Do not attempt to use any power source other

than the specified AA-size (LR6) alkaline batter-
ies. Operating time with non-alkaline (manga-
nese) batteries is shorter.
