| • | Pair | The twist pair of the UTP cable. The pair groups as follow: | |
|
|
| A (Pin 1,2) | |
|
|
| B (Pin 3,6) | |
|
|
| C (Pin 4,5) | |
|
|
| D (Pin 7,8) | |
| • | Length[m] | When properly terminated, Cable Diagnostics reports the approximate cable | |

|
| length in meters of each of the four cable pair A, B, C, and D. | |
| • | Status | The cable test results. Possible values are: | |
•Proper - The cable passed the test.
•Open - The cable is connected on only one side or there is no cable connected to the port
•Short - A short has occurred in the cable. With 10/100BASE link, the status of Pair C and Pair D will be “Short”.
•Abnormal termination – An improper termination be detected. Proper termination of Cat5 cable requires a 100Ω differential impedance between the positive and negative cable terminals. IEEE Std 802.3 allows for a termination of as large as 115Ω or as small as 85Ω. If the termination falls out of this range, it is reported as falls an anomalous termination.
#Be sure to running the Cable diagnostics with standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cable. With some of the
Notice: UTP cables that not match the standard of Cat 5e, it might cause the 10/100Base link down after the cable diagnostics.
