â—† 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.
â—† To ensure more accurate measurement of the length to a fault, first disable
power-saving mode on the link partner before running cable diagnostics.
â—† 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.
â—† Potential conditions which may be listed by the diagnostics include:
â–
OK: Correctly terminated pair
â–
Open: Open pair, no link partner
â–
Short: Shorted pair
â–
Not Supported: This message is displayed for any Gigabit Ethernet ports
linked up at a speed lower than 1000 Mbps.
â–
Impedance mismatch: Terminating impedance is not in the reference
range.
