Using the Fieldfox N9912A we inspected both ends of the Y2-8 HV Cable.  We used a Velocity of Propagation (VP) of 0.59 and turned on Low Pass (LP) filter for our testing.  We did not see anything with the LP filter off.

From Y2-8, we measured 256.5m to the end of the cable at the Y end station, no aberrations on the trace.

From the Y end station, we measured 256.5m to the end of the cable at Y2-8 but we also noted a blip at approximately 17.9m from the Y end station connector.  This blip did not exist on the scan from the Y2-8 connector.  I believe there may be a kink in the cable at the junction box leading out of the Y end station.

We also spotted some wildlife trying to get into the clean room area.
