# Validate Cables for Nexus Network Fabric
1313

14-
This article explains the post validation Fabric cable validation, where the primary function of the diagnostic API is to check all fabric devices for potential cabling issues. The Diagnostic API assesses whether the interconnected devices adhere to the Bill of Materials (BOM), classifying them as compliant or non-compliant. The results are presented in a JSON format, encompassing details such as validation status, errors, identifier type, and neighbor device ID. These results are stored in a customer-provided Storage account. It is vital to the overall deployment that errors identified in this report are resolved before moving onto the Cluster deployment step.
