ASUS A7V600 Motherboard 3-15
3.5 Marvell ® Virtual Cable Tester™
Technology
This motherboard supports the Marvell Virtual Cable Tester (VCT) Technology. The
VCT virtually diagnose and report cable faults using the Time Domain
Reflectometry (TDR). With this essential tool, installation and network diagnosis
have never been easier. The VCT technology detects and reports open and
shorted cables with up to 1 meter of accuracy. It also detects impedance
mismatches, pair swaps, pair polarity problems and pair skew problems of up to
64ns.
VCT remarkably reduces networking and support costs complementing a highly
manageable and controlled network system. Also, this tool can be incorporated in
the network systems software making it ideal for field support as well as
development diagnostics.
