Is this a function of the switch chip, or what? IOW, only ether 2-5 are connected through the switch chip, so you wonder about whether thi functions on ether1?

Trying to find enough detail to determine if this works on the RB751U-2Hn; and then which ports...

This works on SXT-G, RB711G, RB2011, RB750
series and other devices with the same switch
chips, and also the Cloud Core series devices.

Here is example output:
*[admin@CCR] > interface ethernet monitor ether5*
*       status: no-link*
*       auto-negotiation: done*
*       cable-pairs: open:4,open:4,open:4,open:4*

In the above example, cable is not shorted but
cut “open” at 4 meters lenght, all cable pairs
equally at same location

It would seem it's been in Atheros for a long time, but MT just added
support for it.  It didn't specify where it does/doesn't work so I expect
we're to assume it's everything MT made.

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
