Summary (Cable Test)

Wire Map Test Result gives the wire map test result for each pair.
When the link is up: The wire map result for each pair is given as seen
by the module to get a link up. This means that the wire map result
may not correspond to the type of cable tested depending on the
cable(s) used and/or the configuration of the cable mode (MDI, MDIX,
or auto-detection) on both the module and the far end equipment. For
example, two crossed pair cables end to end used between the
module and a far end equipment may give a straight pair (MDI) wire
map result.
Note:
For 1 Gbit/s, both MDI and MDIX can be reported simultaneously since
crossed pairs detection is performed independently for pairs A-B and C-D.
MDI Straight pair.
MDIX Crossed pair.
MDI (-) For 1 Gbit/s, straight pair with swapped wires within pair.
MDIX (-) For 1 Gbit/s, crossed pair with pair A swapped with pair B and/or pair
C swapped with pair D.
Noise Excessive noise on a pair most likely caused by a link partner running
in 10/100 Mbit/s forced mode. In this case, no propagation delay or
length is reported and there is no comparison with any threshold.
