3.4.5
Modular Plug Terminated Link (MPTL)
Starting from v7.4, WireXpert has included the MPTL test limits to certify links that features a socket on
the patch panel, and a plug on the opposite side of the link. This is similar to the E2E link, however, is
used when IP-capable devices are permanently installed, e.g, LED lights, building automation elements
or surveillance cameras. The installation cable is plugged directly into the termination deice without the
addition of a socket plus patch cable. A Permanent Link and a Patch Cord test adapter is required to
perform the MPTL test. Press the

Memory Requirements
The amount of memory that each test result takes up depends on the options that is configured before
starting the test. If plots are saved with each test, file size of test results will be generally larger than one
that has plots option omitted.
WireXpert allocates approximately 1 GB of internal flash memory for test result storage.
