Chapter 3: Certify Twisted Pair Cabling

“Bad Patch Cord” Message

95

“Bad Patch Cord” Message

To comply with standards for tests on channels, the tester 
removes the effects of the channel adapters and their 
connections from the test results. Before it removes these effects, 
the tester makes sure that the plugs on the patch cord do not 
have too much near-end crosstalk (NEXT). Too much NEXT is 
frequently caused by too much untwisted wire in the plug. If a 
plug is bad, the tester shows the message 

Bad patch cord at main

 

or 

Bad patch cord at remote

, and does not remove the effects of 

the channel adapters and their connections. The tester saves the 
message with the results.

If you see one of these messages, replace the patch cord or install 
a new plug at the bad end. 

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.
