CableIQ Qualification Tester
Users Manual
Qualification differs from the certification done by testers
such as the Fluke Networks DTX CableAnalyzer.
Certification involves testing against an industry standard
and a test limit (Category 6 and TIA Cat 6 Permanent Link,
for example). The cabling must perform within limits from
1 MHz to the highest frequency defined by standard.
Qualification means the cabling will support a selected
application, such as 100BASE-TX Ethernet service. The
Autotest qualifies cabling by testing the parameters
16
shown in Table 2 and comparing the results to the
selected application's requirements.
If the Autotest fails, the results will help you diagnose the
problem. See also "Diagnosing Cabling Faults" on page 73
for common causes of failures.
