Cable Testing
To test a cable:
Connect the cable to the tester and to a
suitable Remote Unit as described above.
• Cable testing runs continuously (except
when in TOOLS mode or if voltage is
detected). There is no need to start or stop
the cable test.
Cable test results are shown using the two
rows of numbers in the lower half of the
display. The top row of numbers refers to the
pins at the near end. The numbers displayed,
and S (Shield), depend on the port in use...
Split Pair test:
! next to the Split Pair symbol shows when
the test is disabled.
• When the Split Pair test is enabled, split
pairs will cause the test to fail.
• When the Split Pair test is disabled, split
pairs will not cause the test to fail.
