Command Usage
◆ 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.
