General Description
Insert this diagnostic Breakout Test Board into existing cable connections and get access to signals via test points and headers; this is the pass-through function of this board. In addition, switches allow individual signals to be disconnected from the circuit, which aids in diagnostics, troubleshooting, fault tolerance testing, or re-routing specific signals within a cable. This compact design is meant to be inserted into the cabling of a system during operation. Normal system operation can continue while signals are probed and manipulated. It is a handy test point breakout board with inline interruptor switches.
This board contains dual RJ45 (8P8C) female connectors. This connector selection generally allows for very convenient insertion into existing cable configurations, without the use of gender changers, etc.

Mounting Options
These products are available in two different mounting variants. Product numbers ending with -DIN come with DIN clips already installed and ready to snap onto 35mm or 32mm DIN rail. Product numbers ending with -FT have stick-on rubber feet installed on the bottom side, allowing for benchtop use or panel mounting. For panel mounting, we suggest 1/4" nylon standoffs under the mounting holes, and #6 screws.
