Some subjects present in this market, fortunately few, behave incorrectly by performing the certification tests in a fictitious way or falsifying the results, thinking so as to reduce the total costs of the cabling and appear, apparently, more competitive than competitors who operate correctly. Why did we write "apparently" more competitive? Because a certification carried out without strictly complying with the directives of the standards and the practice of correct procedures actually entails an additional cost for the customer when he will be faced with problems deriving from anomalies and malfunctions of the network caused precisely by a faulty cabling system or not up to its nominal performance.

We deliberately omit to discuss also the legal aspects for which the unfaithful installer will be responsible when, by not carrying out the certification operations correctly, he fails to fulfill the obligations deriving from contractual commitments: this is a matter that we gladly leave to experts in contracts, codes and laws.

We are sure that some of our considerations may be object of objection or even dispute and perhaps many of you will not agree with the analysis of the costs that we are about to present. However, we have decided to run the risk of… unpopularity in order not to leave unexplored a topic of great interest to everyone.

According to widespread practice, unfortunately, the certification activity is often neglected if not completely disregarded or performed in ways that do not comply with the standards. Beyond the technical result that is in many cases unacceptable and its consequences on the functionality of the network, deficiencies of this type can also negatively affect the total cost of the installed system.

For some time in the editorial office we had intended to address the issue of costs related to the activities of wiring: a current topic but also delicate and rich in variables that, due to its vastness, we decided to deal with ... in small doses, dividing the discussion into more thematic areas, following the different phases of activity.

In this article we will deal with the final phase of a wiring but certainly of primary importance and that is the certification. In our magazine you will surely have already found many articles concerning the technical and regulatory aspects of the certificates whether they are on copper or fiber optic cabling and, also through the questions that come to our "Ask Mario" column, we know that the interest around this topic is very high. Not only are the technicalities of interest to you as readers, we have received many questions about the costs that must actually be incurred to execute, document and deliver a professional certification.

The MicroScanner PoE also provides a comprehensive set of tools for technicians installing both PoE and non-PoE devices. The wiremap, built-in tone generator, and distance-to-fault indicators allow you to quickly locate wiring problems. When connected to an active switch port, the unit displays the port speed up to 10 Gbps, especially useful for troubleshooting slow access points. Wire identifiers can be used to locate where each wire goes.

The certification of an installation means that all the cables that compose it comply with certain reference standards and, therefore, you have the guarantee that they will comply with the requirements for which they were designed . For example, category 5 and class D UTP cables, the length of the segment must not exceed 90m, the NEXT (Near-End Crosstalk) must be taken into account, etc.

Our certified cabling installation technicians know how to diagnose and troubleshoot high-performance cabling systems. As new high-performance cabling systems are developed and implemented, every aspect of the installation demands a higher level of capacity and greater attention to detail. New check parameters have been added. Links have to be tested using one of two link models (the 'permanent link' or the 'channel') and are tested and evaluated over a wider frequency range and with more data points. The components from which the links are built should provide better performance and the quality of the finish during installation should improve accordingly.

Due to the increasing complexity of these cabling systems, determining the cause of failure and quickly restoring proper performance has become a challenge . This manual will guide you through the process of troubleshooting advanced structured cabling systems using the Fluke Networks CableAnalyzer ™ DSX-5000 Series certifier so you can increase productivity and deliver greater value to your business.

The structured cabling certification process that we carry out at Unitel-Sistemas de Telecomunicaciones begins after the completion of the cabling installation. The certification of the structured cabling is a process that compares the transmission performance of a cabling system is installed with a given standard, using a method defined by the standard for measuring said performance .

This certification of a structured cabling system shows us the quality of the components and the installation, that is, it tells us if it complies with connectivity and correct operation. This is usually necessary to obtain the manufacturer's warranty for structured cabling.
