An electrical cable containing two or more twisted pairs of wires and having terminals at one end connected to corresponding wires is tested for possible mis-pairing of an assumed wire pair. At that end of the cable, all terminals except the two for the assumed wire pair are connected to ground. A test signal is then applied to a first terminal for the assumed wire pair, and at the same time a measurement is made of a response signal received at the second terminal for the assumed wire pair. The test signal is a time-varying signal. The strength of the response signal is compared to the test signal to establish whether the assumed pair of wires are in fact wound to each other.
