The Marvell

Virtual Cable Tester™ (VCT) is a cable diagnostic utility that

reports LAN cable faults and shorts using the Time Domain Reflectometry

(TDR) technology. The VCT detects and reports open and shorted cables,

impedance mismatches, pair swaps, pair polarity problems, and pair skew

problems of up to 100 meters at one meter accuracy.

The VCT feature reduces networking and support costs through a highly

manageable and controlled network system. This utility can be incorporated

in the network systems sofware for ideal field support as well as

development diagnostics.
