Here are some examples of screens with bad cables.

36> 154' SPLIT
45> 330'
78> 331'
EXIT DETAILS
Bad cable:
Split pairs
at 154'
The screen shows a 330’ cable with SPLIT pairs at 154’. If the cable
goes through a wiring closet, it is possible the SPLIT pairs are in the
closet (154’ away). This screen shows one of the advantages the
RWC has over testers costing thousands of dollars more. The RWC
shows the distance to the SPLIT pair to help locate it and facilitate
repair. High cost Certifi ers display dBs of cross talk but do not help
you locate the repairable SPLIT pair fault. Turn on the TRACE tones
and use the probe to locate the cable in the wiring closet. Test each
cable associated with the link (patch cables, etc).
