2.
Click Apply to perform a cable test on the selected interface. The cable test may take up to
2 seconds to complete. If the port has an active link then the link is not taken down and the
cable status is always “Normal”. The command returns a cable length estimate if this feature
is supported by the PHY for the current link speed. Note that if the link is down and a cable
is attached to a 10/100 Ethernet adapter then the cable status may be “Open” or “Short”
because some Ethernet adapters leave unused wire pairs unterminated or grounded.
