    C. 10Base-2 cable test C1. Plug the attached two BNC adaptor cables on both RJ45 jacks, then connect both ends of tested cables on BNC adaptor cables. C2. As to the remaining procedures you may refer to 258A, TIA-568A/568B cable test from step A2 to A5. Note: The center pin of BNC should be read on LED 1 and shielding pin of BNC should be read on LED 2.
