Cable pair test adapter

An adapter connectable to a midspan repeater slot and to a meter for testing cable pairs, the adapter comprising:

• a transmit low circuit having disposed on a first side of the adapter a first set of “to field” jacks and a set of first “from C.O.” jacks, and disposed on a second side of the adapter at least a second set of “to field” jacks and at least a second set of “from C.O.” jacks;
• a receive high circuit having disposed on the first side of the adapter at least one first set of ‘to C.O.” jacks and at least one first set of “from field’ jacks, and on the second side of the adapter a second set of “to C.O.” jacks and a second set of “from field’ jacks;
• and
• a pin assembly connected to the jacks to form one or more electrical loops, wherein the pin assembly is connectable to the midspan repeater slot and at least one set of the transmit low circuit jacks and at least one set of the receive high circuit jacks is connectable to the meter.
