ABSTRACT:
A physical layer device is provided that includes an autonegotiation circuit that negotiates a link with a link partner at first and second link speeds. The physical layer device also includes a cable tester that tests a cable and that determines a cable status of the cable before autonegotiation circuit negotiates the link at the first and second link speeds.
