Question
Which Test Limit should I use when testing a Modified Terminated Permanent Link.
Answer
Testing a Modified Terminated Permanent Link (MTPL) can be achieved using TIA, EN and ISO standards. It involves several specific steps to ensure that the cabling installation meets performance requirements, especially in complex or non-standard installations. MTPL links must be tested using specific test personality modules similar to patch cord test adaptors. Using a channel adaptors is not recognised as the correct method as it cannot accurately measure the performance of the RJ45 plug.
