4.1.4 Performing Cable Diagnostics

Use the Interface > Port > Cable Test page to test the cable attached to a port. The cable test
will check for any cable faults (short, open, etc.). If a fault is found, the switch reports the
length to the fault. Otherwise, it reports the cable length. It can be used to determine the
quality of the cable, connectors, and terminations. Problems such as opens, shorts, and cable
impedance mismatch can be diagnosed with this test.
