Note: 1 Good Quality User patchcords may be used for permanent link testing if the
units have been calibrated with them.
2 Category 6 Test Adapters are required for Channel Testing. They also provide an
additional option for Category 6 Permanent Link testing on the LANTEK 7.
Benefits of Using the New Adapter Design
Reduction of the Cost of Ownership
The same adapter can be used for permanent and channel link testing, thereby
reducing the number of adapters required to perform the same function.
Performing tests on vendor’s proprietary plugs may require a new set a patchcords
not an additional set of adapters.
