p. AD-NET-CABLE Certification Test
AEM’s AD-NET-CABLE adapter is a multi-purpose adapter
that can be used for Multi-Gig SNR measurements, PoE
reading, Network Test Tools and CAT6A Cable Certification.
This adapter has two modes, Validation and Certification
mode. To use this adapter for CAT6A cable certification,
the adapter has to be switched to certification mode.
i: Switch Test Mode
To perform cable certification using AD-NET-CABLE
adapter, attach these adapters to TestPro main & remote
and connect both ends of the cable to be tested to the
TestPro main & remote units CAT6A/Class EA channel port.
Notice that the [Cable Certification] is gray? It means
that the device is in Validation Mode (Multi-Gig
mode). To switch to Cable Certification mode, simply
select [Cable Certification] on the main screen.
A dialog box message will confirm the request.
TestPro is in cable certification mode when the Multi-
Gig and PoE buttons are grayed out. To switch back
to Multi-Gig, just select the [Multi-Gig] menu in the
main screen.

q. MPTL Certification Test
MPTL or Modular Plug Terminated Links almost consists of
a permanent link consisting of wall-mount jacks at one end
of cabling and patch panel at the other end and Patch-cords
to connect networking end-points to wall-mount jacks at
both ends, wherein the entire cabling including the patch-
cords (but not the plugs at the end-point connections) is
referred to as the channel.
In a traditional enterprise network installation, the primary
objective was to provide a cabling channel from the
computers in the work-area to the telecom room.
Increasingly, the networking end-points are IoT devices
other than computers and connecting them calls for
adaptation in cabling topology. Devices such as IP security
cameras have a built-in jack for network connection.
In order to cater to installation of these devices, a new
topology is now accepted by the standardization bodies.
This new topology, Modular Plug Terminated Link (“MPTL”)
is a variation of permanent link where one of the ends is
terminated into a plug.
To test MPTL links using TestPro, attach a CAT6A or CAT8.1
permanent link adapter to the main TestPro unit and
a CAT6A patch-cord adapter to the remote TestPro unit
(these adapters can be interchanged between the main
and remote units) and appropriate MPTL Limit must be
used.
