4.13.1 Cable Diagnostics
The Cable Diagnostics performs tests on copper cables. These functions have the ability to identify the
cable length and operating conditions, and to isolate a variety of common faults that can occur on the
Cat5 twisted-pair cabling. There might be two statuses as follow:
If the link is established on the twisted-pair interface in 1000Base-T mode, the Cable Diagnostics
can run without disruption of the link or of any data transfer.
If the link is established in 100Base-TX or 10Base-T, the Cable Diagnostics cause the link to drop
while the diagnostics are running.
After the diagnostics are finished, the link is reestablished. And the following functions are available.
Coupling between cable pairs
Cable pair termination
Cable Length
Note
: Cable Diagnostics is only accurate for cables of length from 15 to 100 meters.
The Copper test and test result screens in Figure 4-13-1 and Figure 4-13-2 appear.
