Bad Resistor
Bad Capacitor
The tester senses that the measured component is outside the 10%
tolerance programmed in the cable test.
Missing Resistor
Missing Capacitor
Missing Diode
The tester does not sense a component where it should be in the cable.
Leaky Diode
The tester senses a greater than normal current flow through the diode’s
reverse bias.
Reversed Diode
The senses a diode’s orientation is reversed.

Example of an error printout
J1-02 is open.
It should be connected
to J2-19.
Instead, J1-02 is
miswired to J2-02.
This shows that in net
#5 J1-05 is shorted to
J2-16
Since the cable has errors, the cable
signature will not match the signature in
the documentation. Instead, the tester
prompts an “Error Signature.”
-02 refers to pin #2 in
the connector.
J1 refers to the
position of the
adapter in the tester
This is the net
number, net #2.

Low Voltage Errors
In this example we view
the first detailed error and
see NET 1 has a SHORT.
Press View Errors
OR
Press Print Errors
SHORT
The tester senses an interconnection that should not exist in the cable.
OPEN
The tester does not sense an interconnection that should exist in the cable.
MISWIRE
The tester senses that a contact that should have a valid connection is
instead connected to a wrong contact.
HIGH
RESISTANCE
The tester senses a cable interconnection that has too much resistance.
Intermittent Errors
To be an Intermittent error the cable must be good, then go bad, then go
good again. Intermittent errors may be shorts, opens, miswires, and high
resistance — just like the Low Voltage errors above.
