What is agentCableTesterStatus?

Setting this object to active(1) starts a Virtual Cable Test (TDR-based diagnostic) on the port selected by agentCableTesterIfIndex; success(2), failure(3), and uninitialized(4) (the default) are read-only outcomes reported back and cannot be set. An admin sets active(1) remotely to diagnose a suspected bad cable run without needing physical access to the port.
