CABLE TESTING
To test a cable:
• Connect the cable to the tester and to a suitable Remote Unit as described
above.
o Cable testing runs continuously (except if voltage is detected). There
is no need to start or stop the cable test.
Cable test results are shown using the two rows of numbers in the lower half of the
display. The top row of numbers refers to the pins at the near end. The numbers
displayed, and S (Shield), depend on the port in use…
VOICE – Pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 and 6 are shown
VIDEO – S and Pin 1 are shown
DATA – Pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8 are shown. S is shown if the shield is connected.
The lower row of numbers refers to the pins at the far end. The numbers displayed
show which pin at the far end is connected to which pin at the near end. Open
circuits and short circuits are shown. Multiple short circuits are shown in sequence.
