Cabling certification standards
Chapter 2
The WireScope and the DualRemote attach to the channel under test via special
channel probes, which provide a modular-8 jack interface for connection to the
user patch cords.
Although tremendous progress has been made to date in the area of structured
cabling specifications, standards development is a continuous process driven by
technology innovations and market forces. As a consequence, there has been and
will continue to be an ongoing evolution in the certification requirements
specified for commercial cabling projects.
At present, the structured cabling industry is in the process of making the
transition from Category 5 to Category 6 products and standards. This transition
will continue for some time as product innovation continues and as standards
documents continue to evolve.
