Abstract:
Test apparatus for use with a transmitter/receiver having a patch panel, said apparatus comprising:first connection means connectable to the patch panel for receiving a signal from the patch panel, said first connection means comprising fourpairs of input leads, each pair of input leads having first and second input conductors;second connection means connectable to the patch panel for transmitting a signal to the patch panel, said second connection means comprising four pairs of output leads, each pair of output leads having first and second output conductors; andfour double pole double throw switches, each switch selectively and respectively providing electrical communication between one of said four pairs of input leads and one of said pairs of output leads, said switch means being selectively positionable from a first position wherein said first input conductor and said first output conductor are in electrical communication and said second input conductor and said second output conductor are in electrical communication, a second position wherein said first connection means is not in electrical communication with said second connection means, and a third position wherein said first input conductor and said second output conductor are in electrical communication and said second input conductor and said first output conductor are in electrical communication.
