Examples of Common Results
Simple RJ11 Telephone Cord
This screen shot shows how a simple RJ11 to
RJ11 connection lead is tested. As the plugs are
connected the "same way up" either end of the
cable, there is effectively a polarity reversal. And
as only a single pair is connected, the other pairs
(2/5 and 1/6) are open.
CAT5 Crossover Cable
This screen shot shows how a typical two-pair
crossover cable is often used to connect devices
back to back, with the pairs 1/2 and 3/6
swapped. This is still shown as a "Miswire" as
the only condition to allow the "Pass" icon to be
set is a perfect straight through cable. As there
are several different types of crossover cable
currently in use, it was decided to show the
condition and allow the user to decide if the
result is what you require in your specific application.
