Viewing Integrated Cable Tests

The Copper Cable Page contains fields for performing tests on copper cables. Cable
testing provides information about where errors occurred in the cable, the last time a
cable test was performed, and the type of cable error, which occurred. The tests use
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology to test the quality and characteristics
of a copper cable attached to a port. Cables up to 120 meters long can be tested.
Cables are tested when the ports are in the down state, with the exception of the
Approximated Cable Length test. To test cables:
Command Attributes
• Unit No. — Indicates the stacking member for which the interface configuration
information is displayed.
• Port — Specifies the port to which the cable is connected.
• Test Result — Displays the cable test results. Possible values are:
• No Cable — Indicates that a cable is not connected to the port.
• Open Cable — Indicates that a cable is connected on only one side.
• Short Cable — Indicates that a short has occurred in the cable.
• OK — Indicates that the cable passed the test.
