Network (NTWK) Cable Test Mode
The Testifier™ assumes the 8-position jack
on the main unit and the remote will be used
for connecting the tester to the cable run to
be tested. The TIA/EIA 568A/B standard is
used to define the pairs. Connector pins
-, -6, -5 and -8 are the pairs defined
by this standard. The A and B standards
are the same except for color-coding and
are indistinguishable from each other by
electrical testing. The tester will display the
“Pass” icon when all 8 pins are correctly
wired in a one-to-one order. If all 8 pins are
correctly wired with the - and -6 pairs
crossed , the “Pass” icon will be displayed
along with a flashing “Uplink” icon. Uplink
cables are also known as crossover or
T568A-to-T568B cables and are commonly
used to connect two computers or two hub/
switches directly together.
After turning on the network cable test
mode, subsequent presses of the NTWK
button of less than seconds, forces a new
test cycle to begin immediately upon release
of the button. This is useful to immediately
begin a new test when attaching a new
cable to the Testifier™. Holding the NTWK
button down for more than seconds, turns
the split pair test off. The “Split” icon and
