This section describes how to perform integrated cable tests on copper and
fiber optic cables.
Integrated Cable Test
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) technology is used to test the quality
and characteristics of a copper cable attached to a port. Cables up to 120
meters long can be tested. Cables can only be tested when the ports are in the
down state, with the exception of Approximated Cable Length test.
This test can only be performed when the port is up and operating at 1 Gbps.
To perform a cable test and view the results:
1 Click System > Diagnostics > Integrated Cable Test: Summary in the
tree view to display the Integrated Cable Test: Summary page.
2 Ensure that both ends of the copper cable are connected to a device.
