Describe at least three scenarios that a technician would define as a "broken" cable.

What will be an ideal response?


Any combination of the following answers (three minimum) is adequate.
Network techs define a "broken" cable in numerous ways including:
•       A broken cable might have an open circuit, where one or more of the wires in a cable simply don't connect from one end of the cable to the other.
•       A cable might have a short, where one or more of the wires in a cable connect to another wire in the cable.
•       A cable might have a wire map problem, where one or more of the wires in a cable don't connect to the proper location on the jack or plug.
•       The cable might experience crosstalk, where the electrical signal bleeds from one wire pair to another, creating interference.
•       A broken cable might pick up noise, spurious signals usually caused by faulty hardware or poorly crimped jacks.
•       A broken cable might have impedance mismatch. Impedance is the natural electrical resistance of a cable.
