Abstract:
Systems and methods for automated network cabling integrity monitoring are provided. In one embodiment a system manager for a network that includes a network switch coupled to patching equipment comprises: at least one processor configured to execute software, the software comprising a network integrity monitor. The network integrity monitor controls a cable diagnostic test function to obtain a fault-distance measurement for a port of the switch. The network integrity monitor correlates the fault-distance measurement with network cable length information associated with the switch port to identify one or both of a network cable segment associated with the fault-distance measurement and a fault location. The cable length information is retrieved from a database. The network integrity monitor produces an output identifying of one or both of the network cable segment associated with the fault-distance measurement and the fault location to be displayed on a display device.
