    While the Labgear 5-in-1 Diagnostic Cable Tester can identify a bad cable, it cannot determine if the wire or the connectors are at fault. The user must examine the different parts of the cable to determine the cause of the failure and take the appropriate action to correct the problem.
  • Page 7 Not all LAN cables are wired straight through. Crossover cables used on LANs are purposely miswired, with their Receive and Transmit wires cross over. The Labgear 5-in-1 Diagnostic Cable Tester will test this as a bad cable, but it may work fine as a crossover cable.

    Many telephone cables with RJ11 plugs/jacks are wired in reverse. The Labgear 5-in-1 Diagnostic cable Tester will show that a cable like this is crossed. A cable like this reverses the polarity of the telephone line. Most regular telephones made in the last 20 years are not polarity sensitive.
