Length is double
what it should be
Check the termination of the cable.
If cable is not connected to the Remote Unit,
the termination hardware may automatically
loopback pins (for example, IBM Type A
connectors). Thus, the length is twice the
distance of the cable.
Length says < 5
feet when the
cable is longer
Perform a Wire Map test on the segment.
If Wire Map shows all pairs are OPEN or
SHORT, the LANcat can not detect the
Remote Unit. Thus, all pairs are OPEN or
SHORT within 5 feet of the LANcat.
If Wire Map results report that all wires are
straight-through, re-run the Length test.
Measured
lengths of wire
pairs in the same
cable are
different
Some variation (plus or minus a few percent)
is normal due to the manner in which wire
pairs are twisted together in a UTP cable.
