The absorbing clamp method is suitable to determine the screening- or the coupling attenuation of metallic communication cables in the frequency range of 30 MHz to 2400 MHz, depending on the performance of the clamp. It is an alternative method to the the triaxial method of IEC 62153-4-4 or IEC 62153-4-9. Due to the undefined outer circuit of this absorbing clamp method, the test results obtained at different places and laboratories could vary by at least ± 6dB.
