Well it's not dying yet. I taught six young fellows to do it. They did it often enough, I don't think they've forgotten how.

Tried and true, Sam.

Jim, I was going to mention the battery click method, but didn't think anyone would know what I was talking about.

Sam, that really surprises me that it's still taught. Good work.

I said previously that the test we ran didn't check for splits and tramps. That's because only one person did the testing. The method Sam stated using two people does.

If you are testing from punchblock to punchblock you could use a 4-pair adapter with RJ45 female, with a jumper cord and a simple Modtap or equivalent continuity tester, and you would have to confirm the 25th pair was good visually. Or if terminated in amphenol one could get the right sex "harmonica" with RJ45, and test for 4-pair continuity that way. Right guys?

That would work.

Do they make mod adapters for Bix? The last time I worked on them there was very little modular - mostly all hardwired cords.

I have one and seldom use it,have 2 tap 50 mods and 2 110/25 pr. connector mods. The 110 mods came from Independent technologies.

You could always test the lines with a Dynatel965 or even a Sidekick, both will tell you what you need to know about the cable the Dynatel will give you cable length and length to the trouble...

We had these connectors when Bix first came out but I have never seen anyone using them. They would clip over the Bix strip and all the pairs would come out on pins. They probably dont make them anymore. We never tested inside cables and if there was a problem we would fix it then.

hi im new,i have a Dynatel965td and this is about the only site that does not have some weird crypto talk and a bunch of shady looking activity, so i hope you guys don't mind if i come try and bug y'all for a root/superuser.....

i have all the necessary proof of my legitimacy, i was a satellite operator (25S) and now own a small Electronic Engineering and PCB distribution company.

Will prove these to be fact upon PM, i would really appreciate the help. Thanks

OK, what do you need? You're certainly welcome here as a member. My only suggestion would be that you check the date of a post that you tag onto. This one is almost nine years old. Feel free to chime in anywhere.
