| Cable Length |
If this feature is supported by the PHY for the current link
speed, the cable length is displayed as a range between the shortest estimated
length and the longest estimated length. Note that if the link is down and a cable
is attached to a 10/100 Ethernet adapter, then the cable status may display as
Open or Short because some Ethernet adapters leave unused wire pairs unterminated
or grounded. Unknown is displayed if the cable length could not be
determined. |
