Cable Testing

You can check cable length, detect split pairs, or use the wiremap adapter (supplied PN 1563930) to verify pin-to-pin continuity from the near to the far end of a cable.

Cable Test

⇒Plug the cable to test into the jack on either side of the NetTool.

Power up NetTool. AutoTest flashes. Press Select.

⇒Highlight the Spool icon and press Select to see cable status. NetTool detects cable length, opens, shorts, and split pairs.

⇒This applies for patch cables as well except you would plug both ends in to the NetTool and then press Select.
