12. ings The three classes of faults discussed below are in order of severity The severity has to do with the ability of a more severe error to mask less severe errors For example if there is a short in the cable miswires and split pairs may not be detected for the pairs involved in the short fault Short The pair has a low resistance 13 connection from one wire of the pair to the other wire of the pair or to any other wire in the cable or the shield A short is indicated by the Short icon being on and flashing s in the appropriate pin positions on the second line for the pin numbers involved in the shorts plus a flashing S icon if the shield is shorted to a pin Miswire A wire or both wires of a pair are not connected to the correct pins at the other end of the cable The wire map shows the pin numbers from line 1 main to line 2 remote A reverse pair is a special case of a miswire in which the pair is wired to the correct pair of pins or to another designated pair of pins but the two leads are reversed The Testifier is able to test for split pair errors as long as the wiring errors are in pairs The Fail icon and the pin numbers which are miswired will be flashing Split Pair A split pair is an error in the twisting of the wires together within the cable The cables generally are made up of eight wires twisted together in 4 pairs These 4 pairs are designated as pairs by the wiring standards and are intended
