Running Cable Test
Refer to EtherScope nXG Controlled Edition's
Buttons and Ports as needed.

With an open or unterminated cable
connected to the RJ-45 cable test port (left
side of the unit), you can measure length,
identify shorts and splits, and locate opens.

Using a cable terminated with a WireView
Cable ID accessory, you can measure cable
length and identify shorts, opens, split pairs,
crossover cables, normal or negative pair
polarity, and shielded cables.

EtherScope nXG Controlled Edition cannot
perform a cable test on a cable that is
connected to a switch; however, you can still
use the toning function to trace the cable to
the connected port.
l
Additionally, you cannot run a cable test or
use the toning feature if the unit detects
voltage on the connected cable. The
lightning bolt icon on the Cable Test screen
indicates detected voltage.
