Combine good techniques and tools for copper cabling troubleshooting: With performance specs for structured wiring systems increasing, proper test procedures are more important than ever

摘要

Copper cabling failures in high-performance structured wiring systems are most commonly caused by one of a small list of problems. Inadequate component performance from something like a bad cable or cable segment, a connector that doesn't meet specifications, or a poorly performing patch cord can bring data transfer to a halt." However, the problem oftentimes involves human error. Poor workmanship at installation, including something as simple as a mistake with the wiremap or failure to maintain the original twist in the wire pairs, can be just as harmful and make failure inevitable. In addition, incorrect test procedures at installation or during troubleshooting can cause cabling installation professionals to misidentify the problem, or worse, think there isn't one.
