Appendix A – Accessories 
 

A range of useful additions is available from Peak or an authorised distributor 
to enhance your 

Atlas IT

 

Identified Terminators 

Sets  of  8  Identified  Terminators  are  available  with  the  following  range  of  ID 
numbers: 1-8, 9-16 and 17-24. The terminators are automatically recognised by 
your 

Atlas IT

 and will help you identify, analyse and number many cable runs 

in quick succession. 
 

Mini-Patch Cables 

If  you  wish  to  test  many  sockets  at  a  time  you  may  benefit  from  purchasing 
extra  patch  cables.  These  mini  patch  cables  are  made  from  extra-flexible 
stranded cores that offer ease-of-use and durability. 
 

RJ45 Breakout Adapter 

A unique adapter has been designed to enhance your 

Atlas IT

 for the analysis 

of un-terminated cabling. This is a professional assembly complete with strain-
relief,  robust  RJ45  plug  and  8  flexible  wires  which  are  brought  out  to 
numbered  gold-plated  crocodile  clips.  Ideal  for  the  rapid  connection  and 
analysis of cables or for prototyping special configurations. 
 

RJ11-RJ45 Adapter for telephone style connectors 

Although the 

Atlas IT

 is designed for testing RJ45 style connections (such as 

computer  network  cabling),  it  is  possible  to  use  the  instrument  to  test  RJ11 
telephone style connectors (2, 4 and 6 pin types) if used with our special pair of 
adapters. 
 

Non-Identified Terminators 

Replacement terminators are available if you have lost or damaged the supplied 
terminators.
