◆

Cable diagnostics are performed using Digital Signal Processing (DSP)

test methods.

◆

This cable test is only accurate for cables 7 - 140 meters long.

◆

The test takes approximately 5 seconds. The switch displays the results

of the test immediately upon completion, including common cable

failures, as well as the status and approximate length of each cable

pair.

◆

Potential conditions which may be listed by the diagnostics include:

■

OK: Correctly terminated pair

■

Open: Open pair, no link partner

■

Short: Shorted pair

■

Not Supported: This message is displayed for any Fast Ethernet

ports that are linked up, or for any Gigabit Ethernet ports linked up

at a speed lower than 1000 Mbps.

■

Impedance mismatch: Terminating impedance is not in the

reference range.

◆

Ports are linked down while running cable diagnostics.
