a RJ45 socket.

The screwdriver is supplied to help with

Screwdriver

turning the Chassis ID and Slot ID dials.
Use the socket adaptor to change the

female end of the short cable into an

Socket adaptor

international socket. This is used to change
the DUTs power connector.

The short power cable is attached to the
