Cable Testing Made Simple

摘要

It's only a matter of time before you'll need a way to test the integrity of your network's data wiring. Simple cable pair checkers have been around for years, but these are of limited value in the enterprise. And service calls from the wiring installation company are costly. So where else can you turn? One possibility is Fluke Networks' new CableIQ Qualification Tester. As I found when testing the product in NETWORK COMPUTING'S Syracuse University Real-World Labs~(~R), this slick handheld device, like offerings from Byte Brothers and TestUm, lets you put various cables through a battery of tests without the complexity and cost of a full-blown cable certification test set.
