Abstract: A method for performing cable diagnostics in a network system and an associated apparatus are provided, where the network system includes a cable. The method includes: utilizing a transmitter to transmit a zero-crossing signal to a target twisted pair in the cable, wherein the transmitter is positioned in an electronic device within the network system, one end of the cable is electrically connected to the electronic device, and the zero-crossing signal includes a zero-crossing waveform; utilizing a receiver to receive a reflection signal of the zero-crossing signal from the target twisted pair, wherein the receiver is positioned in the electronic device; and detecting at least one characteristic of the reflection signal to generate a determination result, in order to allow the electronic device to process according to the determination result.
