◆ The results include common cable failures, as well as the status and
approximate distance to a fault, or the approximate cable length if no fault is
found.
◆ To ensure more accurate measurement of the length to a fault, first disable
power-saving mode on the link partner before running cable diagnostics.
◆ For link-down ports, the reported distance to a fault is accurate to within +/- 2
meters. For link-up ports, the accuracy is +/- 10 meters.
◆ Potential conditions which may be listed by the diagnostics are shown by the
legend in the following example. Additional information is provided for the
following test results.:
■
OK: Correctly terminated pair
■
ON: Open pair, no link partner
■
IE (Impedance mismatch): Terminating impedance is not in the reference
range.
■
NS (Not Supported): This message is displayed for any Gigabit Ethernet
ports linked up at a speed lower than 1000 Mbps.
