Pass appears on the display indicating
a properly wired cable. The pin numbers
on the top row agree with the bottom
row indicating proper continuity.
The pairs cross over (transmit to
receive and receive to transmit).
Pass and X-over appear on the display
and the pin numbers on the bottom
row indicate the corresponding cross
over to the pin numbers on the top
row.
There is a split between the pairs on
pins 3, 4 and 5, 6. Fail and Split appear
on the display and the pin numbers
with the split will flash.
Notes: Both the T568A and T568B wiring
standard will test the same as long as the
same standard is used on both ends of
the cable.
