Abstract
Apparatus and methods for testing network cabling includes processing circuitry that receives an indication of a user-selected network test of a plurality of network tests. The respective network tests have respective sets of test requirements with different levels of rigor. The test circuitry conducts a wire map test to identify which network tests can be conducted. Thereafter, a common set of test results is produced based on measurement of a common set of parameters pertinent to the network tests that can be conducted. The processing circuitry evaluates the common set of test results with respect to the respective sets of test requirements to determine one or more passing network tests. A plurality of test reports corresponding to the plurality of network tests is graphically displayed along a curve having a common center, wherein each test report indicates whether the corresponding network test is a passing network test.
