Virtual Cable Tester (VCT)
Technology. The VCT virtually diagnoses and reports cable faults using the
Time Domain Reflectometry (TDR) tool. The VCT technology detects and
reports open and shorted cables with up to one meter of accuracy. It also
detects impedance mismatches, pair swaps, pair polarity problems, and
