A copper certifier, also called a copper cable tester, is a device that tests cables for any faults and determines cable quality. Copper cable testers identify and locate faults. They also determine whether a cable adheres to standards for Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6a, Cat 7, Cat 7a, Cat 8, Cat 8.1, Cat 8.2 cables, and more.
What Is A Copper Cable Tester?
Copper certifiers are devices used by technicians to test copper-based datacom cables. A copper certifier generates a graphical display of the cable wire map, assessing parameters like cable length, the qualified cabling speed of the cable, and whether the cable adheres to relevant standards. Copper cable testers are different than other network cable testers in various ways. For example, they offer pass or fail results. The results may depend on defined frequency range limits.
What Is The Purpose of Copper Cable Testing?
Copper cable testing is vital because there is often a need to diagnose and remedy connection problems in a network. Copper certifiers are used to complete network, tower, and communication-related testing. It is critical to find faults, as they could become more significant later if they are left unaddressed. This kind of testing helps experts in the telecommunication industry maintain and reform cable quality.
What Are Copper Certifiers Used For?
Both businesses and network providers use copper cable certifiers to complete cable certification. Used to diagnose connection problems, these devices are valuable tools for operators in the field. For comprehensive tower testing, a copper cable certifier is indispensable, as clients often require test instruments that comply with standard requirements like TIA, ANSI, EIA-568, or ISO/IEC standard 11801:2002
