(see item D on page 38). When the adapter signatures match those found on your
cable documentation, you have installed the correct adapters.
How connector
adapters are
supported
The 1000HN uses connector adapters mounted on small printed circuit boards to
connect the cables you want to test to the analyzer’s scanner assembly. Cirris Systems
can provide adapters for nearly all popular connectors. You can also make an exterior
adapter cable to adapt to any connector with up to 120 pins by using an optional frame
mount stand. Call us at 801-973-4600 or 800-441-9910 for more details.
Types of adapters
There are three general adapter types available for the 1000HN. These are:
1. Single-high adapters. These are for connectors with up to 28 pins. They occupy
one “J” position on the analyzer’s scanner.
2. Double-high adapters. These are for connectors with from 29 to 64 pins. They
occupy two “J” positions on the analyzer’s scanner.
3. Quad-high adapters. These are for connectors with up to 120 pins. They occupy
four “J” positions on the analyzer’s scanner. To use more than one of these at one
time, you must use an expansion box.
