Detecting Cable Faults
Connectivity issues can sometimes be attributed to faults in Ethernet cables. To help detect cable faults, short
circuits, open cables or cables that are too long, ROS includes a built-in cable diagnostics utility.
The following sections describe how to run diagnostics on Ethernet cables:
• Section 3.6.11.1, “Viewing Cable Diagnostics Results”
• Section 3.6.11.2, “Performing Cable Diagnostics”
• Section 3.6.11.3, “Clearing Cable Diagnostics”
• Section 3.6.11.4, “Determining the Estimated Distance To Fault (DTF)”
Section 3.6.11.1
