Abstract
A line tone adapter, including a housing, first and second cable connectors and a line tone generator input port, is employed to interface between a tone generator, having an output connector of a first type, and a cable to be tested, with the cable to be tested having attached thereto a connector of either a second or third type that cannot mate with the output connector of the first type. The line tone generator input port is designed to mate with the output connector of the first type, while the first and second connectors are designed to mate with connectors of the second and third types respectively. Preferably the connector of the first type is an RJ11 plug, with the connectors of the second and third types being male and female coaxial cable connectors.
