CAT 5/6 UTP Cable Testing / RW CERTIFY / LEVEL 1

CAT 5/6 UTP

During this phase of testing, information about length, opens, shorts,

split pairs, crosstalk, cable category and speed is being gathered and

computed. If there are no cable problems, testing continues until you

are prompted to connect the Remote Probe and perform the Wire Map.

If all is OK, testing will ﬁ nish (the RWC "speed" screen is displayed).

Note: If there is a problem with the cable, the problem will be displayed,

and testing will be halted. The problem must be corrected before testing

can continue. See Appendix C for examples of cables failures.

Complete results are immediately available for Review and Saving after

the test is completed. This "test now, review later" feature greatly speeds

up the test process when you have multiple cable installations.

Time to test: Short-cables take longer to test because fewer measure-

ments per pass are possible. The thousand of measurements required

are accomplished much faster on longer cables than shorter cables.
