LAN cable certifiers, also called copper cable certifiers, are key to maintaining the infrastructure of the network communications industry. A cable certifier generates a graphical display of the cable wire map and assesses parameters such as cable length, the qualified cabling speed of the cable, and whether the cable adheres to relevant standards.
What Is A Cable Certifier Rental?
Certification test instruments, unlike other network cable testers, offer pass or fail results dependent on defined frequency-range limits. LAN cable testers, another common name for the instrument, complete cable certification for both independent businesses and network providers seeking to certify their work and diagnose connection problems.
For comprehensive tower testing, having a copper cable certifier on hand is indispensable. The most common test standards we see required are
TIA/EIA-568 or
ISO/IEC 11801:2002.
What Are Cable Certifiers Used For?
Cable certifiers check the quality of electrical connections and determine if there is a conductive path. These devices possess multiple testing capabilities, and ATEC’s cable certifier rental options are user-friendly and provide operators with accurate data.
LAN cable certifiers help technicians in identifying and locating faults in Cat 6, Cat 6a, Cat 8, and more types of twisted pair cables. These devices certify copper-based datacom cables. Due to their ability to test Category 6 twisted pair ethernet cables, LAN cable testers are also colloquially referred to as Cat 6 cable testers or Cat 6 cable certifiers.
What is a Cat 6 tester?
A reliable Cat 6 tester with features like printable results is invaluable to performing LAN cable testing, as many operators require accurate results in a format they can submit to clients or employers. Cat 6 certifiers like the
Fluke DSX-5000 or the
Fluke DSX-8000 will also certify Cat 5e, 6a, 8, and Class Fa and I/II ethernet cabling.
