RJ45 jack or plug A cable can be wired with correct continuity but not with correct pairing This most often happens when the cable is terminated consistently at both ends but in the wrong order A dynamic or AC test is required to detect this type of error If the only error is a split pair error the cable has correct continuity If cross talk is not a concern as in flat satin cable the cable is good if the only error is the split pair error In TEST mode the pin numbers on the second line of the wire map with split pairs flash and an error message is displayed listing the pin numbers of the pairs involved in the error In the PRE TEST mode the error message is displayed 13 Examples of oe Errors nen DARK ON LIGHT FLASHING 1 1 2 x42 Open EN anda 7 4 4 5 P 123456788 ID 6 6 3496725 1 7 le AT 8 8 1 ZB 2 2 Short 3 x3 4 4 FAIL 5 5 6 6 7 A 7 8 gt XX 8 Th 2 Miswire 3 4 gla 123456788 ID ade F 6 l12z456rT8 1 7 8 oensounzon SE SENSE 1 not twisted with 2 3 not twisted with T568A B en Cable ae 1 ooo Cc Oo as PASS 123456788 ID 12545678 1 14 Battery Replacement When the battery low icon is on the battery should be replaced as soon as practical The cable testing results will become unreliable w

4. severity has to do with the ability of a more severe error to mask lower severity 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 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 in the TEST mode is indicated by the FAIL icon being on and flashing X s in the appropriate pin position of the second line of pin numbers plus one or more error message lines listing all the pins shorted together In the PRE TEST mode the error messages are displayed 12 Miswire A wire or both wires of a pair are not connected to the correct pins at the other end of the cable In TEST mode 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 In PRE TEST this type of error is not detectable 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 8 wires twisted together in 4 pairs These 4 pairs are designated as pairs by the wiring standards and are intended to carry a signal and its return 1 amp 2 3 amp 6 48 5and 7 amp 8 are the pairs designated by T568A B for a
