Virtual Cable Tester

Virtual Cable Tester by Marvell is a diagnostics utility that leverages the time-domain reflectometry (TDR) capabilities built into Marvell Ethernet PHYs to quickly assess the health of copper Ethernet cabling—without external test equipment. It helps network administrators identify whether connectivity problems stem from the cable plant or the endpoint devices, accelerating root-cause analysis and reducing downtime.

Key capabilities:

• Detects common cable faults such as opens, shorts, impedance mismatches, pair swaps, and polarity errors.
• Estimates cable length and distance to fault on a per-pair basis.
• Provides port-by-port testing for supported Marvell controllers and switch PHYs.
• Offers actionable link-quality insights to validate new installs or troubleshoot intermittent issues.
• Integrates with Marvell drivers and management tools for simple, repeatable testing workflows.

Virtual Cable Tester is ideal for data centers, enterprise networks, campus environments, and field service teams that need fast, reliable cable diagnostics at the PHY level. Feature availability and the user interface may vary by platform and specific Marvell device.
