Page 9: How To Do The Patch Cord Test
How to Do Tests on Patch Cords How to Do the Patch Cord Test Note For DSX-PC6A adapters: Typically, you can move an RJ45 plug slightly in or out of the jack even when the latch engages. For Cat 6 patch cords, the two positions can give slightly different results for a patch cord test. -

Page 14: Mechanical Stress Tests For Patch Cords
DSX-PCxx Patch Cord Adapters Users Manual Mechanical Stress Tests for Patch Cords Every patch cord design should be evaluated for changes in performance, especially return loss performance, under mechanical stress. Refer to the ANSI/ TIA or ISO/IEC standards for more information about stress tests. Since it is not practical to do the stress tests on every patch cord produced, you can do tests on samples of your patch cords to ensure quality. -

Page 19: Appendix A: How To Characterize And Verify The Adapters' Performance
Appendix A: How to Characterize and Verify the Adapters’ Performance Introduction This appendix tells how to characterize the performance of the DSX-PCxx adapters. Later, you can do the test again to see if the adapters are operating correctly. How to Characterize the Adapters When you first get the patch cord adapters, do this procedure to characterize their performance. - Page 20 DSX-PCxx Patch Cord Adapters Users Manual 6 Mark the reference patch cord ends with “main” and “remote” as it was connected for the test. Keep the reference patch cord to use later for performance tests on the adapters. Caution For consistent return loss measurements from the reference patch cord, do not put mechanical stress on the cord during tests or storage.
- Page 21 Note If you replaced the jacks on the adapters, the difference between the old and new margins can be more than 0.5 dB. If the difference is more than a few dB, make sure the new jacks are installed correctly and the adapters show no damage.
