The LT IV-Cat6A / Class Ea Patch Cord / MPTL Test Adapter (Single) is a precision field accessory designed for use with LanTEK IV certifiers to validate TIA Cat 6A and ISO Class Ea patch cords. Optimized for 10 Gigabit Ethernet performance, the adapter provides accurate, repeatable verification of insertion loss, NEXT, return loss and other key parameters across the extended Cat 6A frequency range. User-replaceable RJ45 jack modules reduce downtime and cost of ownership, enabling rapid on-site servicing and consistent measurement integrity over heavy use cycles.

Built for reliability in demanding environments, the adapter uses high-quality contacts and a mechanically robust housing to minimize insertion loss and maintain stable mating geometry. Clear polarity markings and a compact, rugged form factor simplify field operations and prevent connection errors during high-volume certification or troubleshooting. When combined with a permanent link adapter the unit supports Modular Plug Terminated Link (MPTL) testing workflows, making it a flexible solution for installers, contractors, and certifiers who must document standards-compliant network performance.
