The AI NET2 features the Marvell
cable diagnostic utility that reports LAN cable faults and shorts using the
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology. The VCT detects and
reports open and shorted cables, impedance mismatches, pair swaps, pair
polarity problems, and pair skew problems of up to 64 ns at one meter
accuracy.
The VCT feature reduces networking and support costs through a highly
manageable and controlled network system. This utility can be incorporated
in the network systems sofware for ideal field support as well as
development diagnostics.
