Tester
Basics
Cable Signatures
When learning a cable, the tester derives an
11-digit alphanumeric code for the cable
called a Cable Signature.
The Cable Signature, which is
mathematically derived, helps you quickly
identify a proper test setup.
The First Part of the Cable Signature
The first part of the Cable Signature is called
the Connection Signature. The tester
derives the Connection Signature from:

Wire pattern of the tested cable.

The adapters used.

The position where the adapters are
installed in the tester.
Note the Connection Signature helps you
identify a particular cable.
The Last Part of the Cable Signature
The last part of the Cable Signature is called
the Parameter Signature. The Parameter
Signature identifies the Test Parameter
Settings for the test.
Some examples:
The Cable Signature for each of these cables
show the cables have identical connections
to the tester, but the cables have tests with
different Test Parameter Settings.
These two cables are tested with the same
Test Parameter Settings but have differences
in their wire pattern and connectors.
