Fluke is the name of one company that manufactures and sells one popular style

of data-cable tester. There are others.

When you attach a Fluke cable tester to one end of the cable, and the tester

accessory to the other end, the tester displays whether the cable pairs are

connected to the proper pins of the connector, and whether any wires are open,

and whether any wires are shorted to any others. In the 'field', this process is

often referred to as a "fluke test", even if some other company's equipment is

used to perform it.

(Similarly, there were times when any camera was called a 'kodak', any disposable

tissue was called a 'kleenex', any record player was called a 'victrola', and any

household refrigerator was called a 'frigidaire'. Even today, some people refer

to any soft drink as a 'coke'.)
