Interpreting Tests Results
• Pass/Special Cables:
“Pass” will appear if the cable is a properly
wired 4-pair T568A/B data cable, a 3-pair one-to-one wired voice
cable or a video cable with no faults. Uplink cables, also known as
crossover or T568A-to-T568B cables, are commonly used to connect
two computers or two hub switches directly together. Crossover
cables are detected and displayed as “X-Over”.
In addition, “X-Over” is displayed, if a properly wired cross-over
(uplink) cable is recognized. “Rev” appears if the cable is a properly
wired reverse-pinned voice cable. The wire map will show actual pin
connections if all 8 pins are correctly wired with the 1-2 and 3-6 pairs
crossed.
• Cable Faults:
The “Fail” icon will only appear if the cable is not
wired to one of the cabling standards. An open or short error takes
precedence over other faults.
• Shielding (Ground) Detection:
“STP” appears when a shielded
data cable is properly connected at both ends. “UTP” appears if there
is no end-to-end continuity in the shielding detected.
• Short:
It will be flashing if there is a short to a wire in the cable along
with that pin number and the “Short” indicator.
• Tester-End Wire Map:
The top line displays the pins on the
tester end in order. These pins are mapped to the pins on the remote-
end shown directly below them on the LCD.
• Remote-End Wire Map:
The bottom line displays the
corresponding pin on the remote-end. Dash lines on the remote line
indicate short pins. No pin numbers displayed on the remote line are
open pairs.
• Remote Location ID:
In the ID mode, the “ID” icon will be
displayed with the number of the remote ID. If a remote is in place
and a fault in the cable is detected, an error message of “Open” or
“Short” is displayed.
• Single-ended Testing:
If a remote is not used as in a “one-end”
test, only shorts and splits will be displayed if detected.
• Voltage Detected Warning :
If voltage is detected on any of the
tester connectors, the “Voltage!” icon appears. For accurate testing
results, unplug the cable from a switch or router.
