Cable Test

Description

This test verifies the integrity of a copper Ethernet cable

connected to the OneTouch analyzer. Additionally, optical power

measurement is available when a fiber cable is used with a DDM-

capable SFP.

When you tap the AutoTest button , the OneTouch analyzer

attempts to establish link. If the OneTouch analyzer cannot

establish link, it performs cable test instead.

Copper Cable Test

Configuration and Capabilities

Connect an Ethernet cable to network port A. The other end of

the cable can be:

• Connected to a Fluke WireView™ WireMapper

This provides the most robust cable test. The OneTouch analyz-

er:

• Determines length

• Finds shorts and opens

• Finds splits (impedance mismatch, cross-pair short, mis-

wrapping (conductor wrapped to wrong pair))

• Identifies a crossover cable

• Unterminated (not connected to anything)

The OneTouch:

• Determines length

• Finds shorts

• Finds opens if they are more than 2 m from the far end

• Finds splits

• Connected to the OneTouch analyzer’s network Port B
