Left RJ-45:

 Use the left RJ-45 jack for a single-ended 

connection (that is, when connecting the tester 
directly to a cable, a PC, an IP phone, wall drop, or a 
network device). Use both jacks only when using the 
built-in wiremap function or for an inline connection 
(that is, when connecting the tester between two 
devices, such as a hub and PC).

 

USB:  

Use to connect the tester to a PC to enable 

software options, to update it with the latest 
software, and to download PING catalogs, reports, 
and screen shots. 

AC power

AC adapter.
