Have all Aruba networking gear at home - 2540 Switch with a mixed Aruba AP environment. Clients on one of my POE access points are sporadically losing connection (seems to be cable related because I don't see any loss of AP connectivity at the switch or in the AP logs). The cable in question does not have the best cabling job (had to do the wiring in a dark attic) but the cable looks fine when I run a cable diagnostic test on the switch:
Pair Status Distance to Fault
------ ----------- ---------------------
1-2 OK 20m
3-6 OK 19m
4-5 OK 22m
7-8 OK 20m
Would a real deal cable tester like the fluke identify issues I wouldn't be able to see with the simple switch test? Worth the investment?
