The CableMaster 500 assumes the 8-position jack on the main unit
and the remote will be used for connecting the tester to the cable
run to be tested. The TIA/EIA 568A/B standard is used to define the
pairs. Connector pins 1-2, 3-6, 4-5 and 7-8 are the pairs defined by this
standard. The A and B standards are the same except for color-coding and
are indistinguishable from each other by electrical testing.
