  • Page 24: Diagnosing Network Cable Problems

    Getting Started Diagnosing Network Cable Problems If you are experiencing communication problems, swapping cables is one of the simplest diagnostic procedures you can perform. If the network operates correctly with a different cable, you have isolated and cured the problem. If possible, use a short run of cable to test the network because problems with longer cable runs can be more difficult to diagnose and are more often intermittent.
