It's definitely a problem, rollover cables are used to connect to a console port on a router. The cable should be replaced

Also, the cable that is "short" should be counted as OPEN not a short

To anyone that may be confused by PC 5 using what looks like a rollover cable, I completely understand. I was in the same boat and went ahead to research. I found that when a connector is placed on backwards, it can cause the pinout to be completely reversed, as seen in this PBQ. So to confirm, you should 100% choose "Connector on backwards" for PC 5, and replace the cable as a result.

I passed my exam on 26/03/2024. I can confirm that this simulation still applies, and my exam had 5 simulations in total. For this simulation, everything was word for word, with no changes in values, wording, etc. @Shelbyy answer can be used, but for the PC5, I used "replace cable" as the solution.

I think PC5 is crossover cable. Because it's to connect computers directly. It may be connected to PC4.

When it comes to cross over, remember that it is not 568A one side and 568B other side. There is also cross of blue and brown pairs. I mean if it is a different question.

Yeah I think that is the only reasonable solution considering you must pick one. Replace the cable with one that doesn't have faulty connectors.
