The Cable Test screen contains fields for performing tests on copper cables. Cable testing provides
information about where errors occurred in the cable, the last time a cable test was performed, and
the type of cable error that occurred. The tests use Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology
to test the quality and characteristics of a copper cable attached to a port. Cables up to 120 meters
long can be tested. Cables are tested when the ports are in the down state, with the exception of the
