How to Replace the Jacks - DSX-PCxx Patch Cord Adapters
참고: The information in this article can also be found in the DSX-PCxx Patch Cord Adapters Users Manual.
! Caution !
To prevent damage to the adapters and to make sure that your test results are as accurate as possible:
- The DSX-PCxx adapters have static-sensitive components. When you replace the RJ45 jack, obey rules to prevent electrostatic discharge (ESD).
- Replace the jacks only with jacks of the same type. For example, do not put Cat 5e jacks onto Cat 6 circuit boards.
- Do not put stress on the circuit board when you remove or replace the jack.
참고:
To ensure reliable operation, replace the DSX-PCxx patch cord adapter after you have replaced the RJ45 jack 10 times.
- Use a TORX PLUS® driver, size T-7, to remove the three screws from the back of the patch cord adapter.
- Take the adapter case apart and remove the circuit board from the case.
- Pull the RJ45 jack off of the circuit board (shown below).
- Align the new RJ45 jack on the connectors on the circuit board. See in the image below how the insulation displacement connectors in the jack slide into the connectors on the circuit board.
- Push the RJ45 jack onto the connectors on the board. If firm pressure does not push the jack onto the connectors, realign the jack before you try again.
- Reassemble the case.
- If you want to monitor the number of tests you do with the new jack, reset the Current Series count for the adapter. See: How to Monitor the Number of Insertions for a Jack
If you characterized the performance of the adapters before, do the characterization procedure again and save the results as the new characterization results for the adapters. See: How to Characterize and Verify the Adapters’ Performance - DSX-PCxx Adapters
