Testing Twisted Pair Cabling

15

Split Pair

Figure 10 shows a split pair on 3,6 and 4,5. The split pair 
flashes to indicate the fault. The cable length is 75.4 m.

In a split pair, continuity from end to end is correct, but is 
made with wires from different pairs. Split pairs cause 
excessive crosstalk that interferes with network operation. 

Note

Cables with untwisted pairs, such as telephone 
cords, typically show split pairs due to excessive 
crosstalk.
