Information handling system display cable link training to monitor for cable failures

A method for maintaining an information from an information handling system, the method comprising:

• establishing communication of visual information from a motherboard to a display through a cable by performing link training to establish link parameters;
• detecting a link failure at the display cable;
• storing the link failure in non-transitory memory at the information handling system;
• detecting a predetermined link failure rate;
• and
• in response to the predetermined link failure rate, communicating a display cable fault to a network location.

A system for monitoring information handling system display cable performance, the system comprising:

• a display operable to present information as visual images;
• a cable terminating at a first end at a motherboard and a second end at the display;
• and
• a non-transient memory storing instructions that when executed on a processing resource cause:
• link training to communicate visual information through the cable to the display according to display link parameters;
• tracking link failures when communication of the visual information fails;
• and
• storing the link failures in the non-transitory memory.
