Modular Plug Terminated Links (MPTL)
An MPTL is a cabling link that is terminated with a socket (female)
at one end and a plug (male) at the other. An MPTL consists of up
to 90 meters (295 ft) of horizontal network cabling. The MPTL is
used to certify the horizontal network cabling that plugs directly
into network devices such as CCTV cameras, Wi-Fi access points,
access control and IoT devices.
MPTL certification with LanTEK III requires the R161051 cat 6A
PL adapter at the main handset and the R161053 cat 6A channel
adapter attached to the remote handset.
MPTL certification is available for cat 6A/class EA links only.
