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/SAVE 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…

VIDEO – S and Pin 1 are shown
DATA – Pins 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, 7 and 8
are shown. S is shown if the shield is
connected.
The lower row of numbers refers to the
pins at the far end. The numbers displayed
show which pin at the far end is connected
to which pin at the near end. Open circuits
and short circuits are shown. Multiple
short circuits are shown in sequence.

!next to the Split Pair symbol is displayed
when the test is disabled.

pairs will cause the test to fail.
• When the Split Pair test is disabled, split
pairs will not cause the test to fail.
