Connect one side of the patch cord (A) terminals to a commercially available digital multimeter (B), and connect the other side of the patch cord terminals to a commercially available banana jack (Pomona Electronics Tool No. 3563 or equivalent) (C).

Gently contact the pin probe (male) at test port from the terminal side. Do not force the tips into the terminals.

• For accurate results, always use the pin probe (male).
• To prevent damage to the connector terminals, do not insert test equipment probes, paper clips, or other substitutes as they can damage the terminals. Damaged terminals cause a poor connection and an incorrect measurement.
• Do not puncture the insulation on a wire. Punctures can cause poor or intermittent electrical connections.
