displays the distance to the fault. The field “Status” displays the states of the
cable pairs:
•
“No Info” – The test has not yet been performed or no info is available.
•
“Normal Cable” – The cable pair is connected correctly.
•
“Short Cable” – Two or more cable pairs are short-circuited together.
