Introduction
The recent ANSI/TIA 568-D.2 and ISO/IEC 14763-4:2021 test paradigm Modular Link Terminated Link (MPTL), Direct Attached Cabling (DAC) and modular plug terminated End-to-End (E2E) requires the use one (in case of MPTL) or two (in case of DAC and E2E) Patch Cord Adapter.
Fluke Networks DSX Series CableAnalyzer - including kits - do not ship with these Patch Cord Adapters, so you need to purchase these separately.
Solution
 | Permanent Link or Channel adapters (which are provided with the DSX), can support multiple Categories or Classses of links. For example, a Cat 6A adapter can test a Cat 5e/Class D link.) However, standards require that the jack in the Patch Cord adapter match the category of the field-installed plug you’re testing. As a result, Fluke Networks have to manufacture different Patch Cord adapters for 5e, 6, or 6A – and you’ll need to choose the one(s) you need. |
These Patch Cord Adapters are suitable for all DSX models:
| Model | Desription |
|---|---|
| DSX-PC5E | Single Cat 5e Adapter with Shielded Cat 5e Patch Cord Jack Installed |
| DSX-PC6 | Single Cat 6 Adapter with Shielded Cat 6 Patch Cord Jack Installed |
| DSX-PC6A | Single Cat 6A Adapter with Shielded Cat 6A Patch Cord Jack Installed |
| Like the tip of the Permanent Link adapter, the jack of a Patch Cord adapter need to be replaced when damaged or worn-out. |
In case the RJ45 jack is damaged and needs replacement, these are the spare parts you need:
| Model | Desription |
|---|---|
| DSX-PCTAC5EKS | Set of two Shielded Cat 5e Replacement Patch Cord Jacks |
| DSX-PCTAC6KS | Set of two Shielded Cat 6 Replacement Patch Cord Jacks |
| DSX-PCTAC6AKS | Set of two Shielded Cat 6A Replacement Patch Cord Jacks |
These spare parts always come as a set of two.
Not replacing a worn-out or damaged RJ45 jack may lead to incorrect test results.
