Chapter 27: Cable Diagnostics
Port: This parameter displays the port (cable) selected.
Test Results: Displays the diagnostic results for each pair in the cable. One of the following cable status parameters is displayed:
OK: There is not problem detected with the cable.
Open in Cable: There is an open wire within the cable.
Short in Cable: Two wires are shorted together within the cable.
Cross talk in Cable: There is crosstalk detected between one pair of wires and another pair within the cable.
Cable Fault Distance: This parameter specifies the distance from the switch port to the cable fault.
Cable Length: This parameter specifies the length of the cable connected to the switch port.
Note
If length is displayed as “N/A” it means the cable length is “Not Available”. This is due to the port being unable to obtain cable length/either because its link speed is 10M or 100M, or the cables used are broken and/or of bad in quality.
Note
The deviation of “Cable Fault Distance” is
