That feature has been in Marvell chipsets for almost 10 years. It's about time 
Atheros got with the program. ;-)

Subject: [Mikrotik] MT cable diagnostics

Anyone seen this in action?

In RouterOS v5.21 and newer releases we have
added a wonderful new diagnostics feature -
ability to detect cable problems. For example, if
you have an apartment building with complicated
Ethernet wiring inside the walls or ceilings, and
you lose the link - previously, you would need
special equipment to pinpoint the location of
cable damage, before you open that wall, but
now - RouterOS will tell you these things:
• which cable pair is damaged
• at what length is the cable broken
• how is the cable broken - shorted or torn
