Apparatus with interchangeable modules for measuring characteristics of cables and networks

摘要

A test apparatus for performing line testing of cable and networks. In one embodiment, the test apparatus includes a housing configured to electrically connect with an adapter module while minimizing bends in the electrical connection. The housing and adapter module include mating connectors configured to provide a direct connection between the adapter module and the housing. One embodiment includes a guide feature to ease the insertion of the adapter module into the housing. In another embodiment, the adapter module is configured to form a continuous surface with the housing upon its insertion.
