About Link Interface Adapters and Modules
Link interface adapters provide the correct jacks and
interface circuitry for testing different types of twisted
pair LAN cabling. The channel and permanent link
interface adapters provided are suitable for testing
cabling up to Cat 6. For information on other adapter
types, contact Fluke Networks or visit the Fluke Networks
website.
Figure 1-6 shows how to attach and remove adapters.
WCaution
To avoid damaging the permanent link adapter
and to ensure maximum accuracy of test results,
never pinch, kink, or crush the adapter’s cable.
Follow the handling guidelines given in Figure
1-7.
Modules provide optional testing capabilities. For
example, the DTX-MFM and DTX-SFM modules let you
certify fiber optic cabling. See Chapter 5 for details on
fiber modules.
