Re: Good Ol' Twinax (used to be Dedicated console)

Hello Gad,

Am 22.05.2021 um 12:36 schrieb Gad Miron <gadmiron@xxxxxxxxx>:

On one occasion when it stopped working (due to rain?) We had an IBM technician connecting some sort of electronic device to the S/36 side of that Twinax line and saying "There is a short cut / disconnection 5 hundred meters down the line" we went there and found a faulty Twinax nipple connection. (luckily it was in a cables pit)

He was using a TDR device: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time-domain_reflectometer

This functionality today is integrated at least with Cisco Catalyst Class Ethernet Switches.

:wq! PoC
