Diagnostics - RJ45 Cable test
This page is used for running the VeriPHY RJ45 Cable Diagnostics test for 10/100 and 1G copper
ports.
Pressing
Start
will start the diagnostics. This will take approximately 15 seconds for a single port. If all
ports are selected, this can take approximately 30 seconds. When completed, the page refreshes
automatically, and you can view the cable diagnostics results in the cable status table.

NOTE:
VeriPHY RJ45 cable test is only accurate for cables in the length range of 7 - 140 meters. 10 and
100 Mbps ports will be linked down while running VeriPHY. Therefore, running VeriPHY on a 10
or 100 Mbps management port will cause the switch to stop responding until the VeriPHY RJ45
test is complete
