Can we measure the length of cable with SNMP in Network switch?

Hi,
I have Netgear Switch XS728T ProSAFE. I need to measure the cable length. Is it possible with SNMP?

Does your netgear switch have built-in capability to do it? If yes, then maybe there is a MIB, what also carries options to poll it... But that is just a big maybe here...

Some points to start:

agent Cable Tester Status
1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.10.1.4.1
Status of the Virtual Cable Tester active(1) - cable testing is in progress. Set to this value to start the test. success(2) - A successful test was performed. Cannot be set. failure(3) - A failure was encountered during the test. Cannot be set. uninitialized(4) - No test has been performed yet. Cannot be set.

agent Cable Tester If Index
1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.10.1.4.2
Determines on which port to perform the cable test. Limited to copper based ports.

agent Cable Tester Cable Status
1.3.6.1.4.1.4526.10.1.4.3
Indicates the results of the Cable Test. normal(1) - The cable is working correctly. open(2) - The cable is disconnected or there is a faulty connector. short(3) - There is an electrical short in the cable. unknown(4) - No test has been performed yet, or a test is currently in progress.
