If you ever perform a cable test on a port that is down and you see something like the below, it means that there is a device on the other end, in my case another Meraki switch, that has no power to it:

This is what the same cable test looks like with the remote switch powered back up:

Just in case anyone wonders why they suddenly have a failed cable with open and abnormal pairs!
