• Pair
• Length[m]
• Status
Be sure to running the Cable diagnostics with standard Cat 5e or Cat 6 UTP cable. With some of the
Note
UTP cables that not match the standard of Cat 5e, it might cause the 10/100Base-TX link down after
:
the cable diagnostics.
Table 4-30 Description of the Cable Diagnostics
Description
The twist pair of the UTP cable. The pair groups as follow:
A (Pin 1,2)
B (Pin 3,6)
C (Pin 4,5)
D (Pin 7,8)
When properly terminated, Cable Diagnostics reports the approximate cable
length in meters of each of the four cable pair A, B, C, and D.
The cable test results. Possible values are:
• Proper - The cable passed the test.
• Open - The cable is connected on only one side or there is no cable connected
to the port
• Short - A short has occurred in the cable. With 10/100BASE link, the status of
Pair C and Pair D will be "Short".
• Abnormal termination – An improper termination be detected. Proper
termination of Cat5 cable requires 100Ω
the positive and negative cable terminals. IEEE STD 802.3 allows for a
termination of as large as 115Ω or as small as 85Ω. If the termination
falls out of this range, it is reported as falls an anomalous termination.
