The cable diagnostics function provides UTP cable testing. Its function is to determine the UTP
cable status and can provide a very useful physical link troubleshooting tool.

When the cable is OK, cable diagnostics indicates the length of the cable.

When there is a problem, cable diagnostics indicates how far from the interface connec-

tion the fault is and information about the fault.
