Testing and Troubleshooting with Block Adapters
Testing with 110 and 210 Connecting Block Adapters
At times, it is necessary to test directly from a 110 or 210 connecting block to
either a patch panel or office outlet. IDEAL INDUSTRIES Category 6 adapters
allow testing up to 250 MHz or to the manufacturer’s specified limit.
Use a patchcord with a RJ45 plug on one end and the appropriate 110 or 210 plug
on the other end. The RJ45 end of this patchcord is usually connected to the
Display Handset. However, if required, it can be connected to the Remote
Handset. Connect the other handset using one of the patchcords supplied with
your tester.
Note: Observe the Wire Map results on the first test carefully. If the Wire Map fails, it
may indicate a reversal between T568A and T568B wiring standards. Try replacing
the adapter patchcord with the opposite patchcord and the link should map
correctly.
