Operating Instructions:
Testing Cables for Pin-out Wiring Configuration (Cable Mapping):
1. To test local patch cables, connect the cable between the
RJ45 sockets on the top side of the main test unit labeled
“In” and “Out”.
2. To test installed cables, use a patch cable to connect the main
test unit RJ45 “Out” socket to the wall jack. Use a patch
cable to connect the remote unit to the wall jack or hub at
the opposite end of the cable.
3. Turn the main unit “on/off” switch to the “on” position.
Select the “fast” or “slow” scan speed using the switch
located on the left side of the tester.
4. Read the lights for pins 1 through 8 on the main unit for
patch cables, or for installed cables use the LEDs on the main
unit and remote to determine connections through the cable.
5. Refer to test examples on reverse for determining cable faults.
