Cable Diagnostics Test
Tools > Diagnostics
The switch provides a basic cable diagnostic tool in the GUI for verifying the pairs in
copper cabling and estimated distance for troubleshooting purposes.
Note:
1. If the cable length displays N/A, it means that the cable length is Not Available. The
may be due to the port being unable to determine the estimated cable length. If length is
displayed as "N/A" it means the cable length is "Not Available". This is due to the port
being unable to obtain cable length/either because its link speed is 10M or 100M, or the
cables used are broken and/or of bad in quality.
2. The deviation of "Cable Fault Distance" is +/- 2 meters. No cable may be displayed in
the table when the cable is less than 2 meters in length.
3. The test also measures the cable fault and identifies the fault in length according to
the distance from the switch.
1. Log into your switch management page (see
on page 7).
2. Click on Tools and click on Cable Diagnostic.
3. Click on the Port drop-down list to select which port to run the cable diagnostic and
click Test Now to run the test.

Test Results: Displays the diagnostic results for each pair in the cable. One of
the following cable status parameters is displayed:
o
OK: There is no problem detected with the cable.
o
Open in Cable: There is an open wire within the cable.
o
Short in Cable: Two wires are shorted together within the cable.
o
Cross talk in Cable: There is crosstalk detected between one pair
o
of wires and another pair within the cable.
Cable Fault Distance: This parameter specifies the distance from the switch
port to the cable fault.
Cable Length: This parameter specifies the length of the cable connected to the
switch port.
