Autotest Results for Twisted Pair Cabling

The Autotest shows results in three levels of detail, as
described in Figures 9 through 12.

avv15f.eps

Overall result for the Autotest.

Overall result for each Autotest type:

: The cabling qualifies for the application. If a far-end adapter is

not connected, the tester assigns a

result because the wiremap

cannot be completely verified.

: The cabling does not qualify for the application.

: Results are for informational purposes only, not for qualification.

The cabling cannot be completely qualified for the application
because the wiremap results are incomplete (wiremap adapter not
used).
