The Network Cable Tester will check a fault condition in the above descending order before detecting
other fault conditions. The detection and indication of the presence of a fault is handled on a. "one-per-
test" basis. Once a fault is corrected, it is recommended the cable be tested again for other faults.
OPEN There is no "OPEN" indication. A typical cable may have 2, 3, or 4 pairs. OPENS are displayed as an
unlit symbol. The user will determine if a pair is present and continuous or OPEN by comparing the
illuminated symbol to the expected number of pairs that should be good.
SHO.
A short circuit condition exists (see Fig.1).
MIS.
Indicates the improper assignment of individual wire pairs to pins for the wiring schemes tested
(see Fig.2).
REV.
Reverse wiring means the pin for one wire in a pair is connected to the opposite pin for the pair
in the remote jack (see Fig.3).
SPL.
Split pairs occur when the tip (positive conductor) and ring (negative conductor) of two twisted
pairs are interchanged (see Fig.4).
