Cable Status One of the following states is returned:
• Normal—The cable is working correctly.
• Open—The cable is disconnected or there is a faulty
connector.
• Short—There is an electrical short in the cable.
• Cable Test Failed—The cable status could not be
determined. The cable might be working.
Cable Length If this feature is supported by the PHY for the current link
speed, the cable length is displayed as a range between
the shortest estimated length and the longest estimated
length. Note that if the link is down and a cable is attached to
a 10/100 Ethernet adapter, the cable status might display as
Open or Short because some Ethernet adapters leave
unused wire pairs unterminated or grounded. Unknown is
displayed if the cable length could not be determined.
