How to Certify Patch Cords
To certify patch cords, you must use the DSX-PCxx Patch Cord
Adapters and the correct patch cord test limit. You cannot use
channel adapters and test limits to certify patch cords because
channel tests do not measure the performance of the patch cord
plugs.
To purchase a DSX-PCxxS Patch Cord Adapter Set, contact an
authorized Fluke Networks distributor.
