from Huawei command line virtual-cable-test

My friend found an interesting command while he was searching Huawei S3700

documentation. It looks like it is possible to check (by command) a state of physical cable,
connected to electrical Ethernet or GigabitEthernet interfaces. I have never used it but as soon
as I get such switch I promise to test it.

Short description from Hedex:

When the checked cable is in normal state, the total length of the cable is displayed in
the output information.
If the cable is abnormal, the distance between the interface and the faulty point is
displayed.

[Quidway] interface Ethernet 0/0/1

Description of the virtual-cable-test command output (by Hedex):

Pair A/B/C/D Four pairs of circuits in a network cable.

Pair A length: 189meter(s) Length of a network cable.

The length is the distance between the interface and the faulty point if a fault occurs.
The length is the actual length of the cable when the cable is in normal state.
The length is the default length 0 m if the interface is not connected to any network cable.

Pair A state: Ok Status of a circuit pair of the cable.

OK indicates that the circuit pair is terminated normally.

Open indicates that the circuit pair is not terminated.
Short indicates that the circuit pair is short circuited.
Crosstalk indicates that the circuit pairs interfere with each other.
Unknown indicates that the circuit pair has an unknown fault.

I also found this command in Hedex for AR12/22/32 routers.

If you have got any experience with this command just let me know.
