Abstract

A method for performing cable diagnostics in a network system and an associated apparatus are provided, where the network system includes a cable. The method includes: utilizing a transmitter to transmit a zero-crossing signal to a target twisted pair in the cable, wherein the transmitter is positioned in an electronic device within the network system, one end of the cable is electrically connected to the electronic device, and the zero-crossing signal includes a zero-crossing waveform; utilizing a receiver to receive a reflection signal of the zero-crossing signal from the target twisted pair, wherein the receiver is positioned in the electronic device; and detecting at least one characteristic of the reflection signal to generate a determination result, in order to allow the electronic device to process according to the determination result.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to testing a cable, and more particularly to a method and related device for performing cable diagnostics in a network system. Background technique [0002] According to the related art, testing a cable, such as a cable with multiple twisted pairs, may require special equipment, which causes some problems. For example: Since the price of this special equipment may be high, there will be additional costs for purchasing this special equipment. Another example: since general end users usually do not own or buy the special equipment, when the system using the cable fails, it is difficult to determine whether the failure is caused by the cable. Some testing methods have been proposed in the related art to try to solve the above problems. However, these testing methods may bring additional problems, such as some side effects. Therefore, a novel method and corresponding architecture are needed to improve the convenience of cab...
