TP Cable Diagnosis

The TP cable diagnosis allows you to check the connected cables for short-circuits or interruptions.

Note: While the check is running, the data traffic at this port is suspended.

The check takes a few seconds. After the check, the "Result" row contains the result of the cable diagnosis. If the result of the check shows a cable problem, then the "Distance" row contains the cable problem location’s distance from the port.
