LAN cable certifiers certify copper-based datacom cables, identifying and locating faults in Cat6, Cat6a, Cat8 and more types of twisted pair cables. A LAN cable certifier generates a graphical display of the cable wire map and assess parameters like cable length, the qualified cabling speed of the cable and whether the cable adheres to relevant standards. 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, are used to complete cable certification for both independent businesses and network providers seeking to certify their work and diagnose connection problems. For comprehensive tower testing, a copper cable certifier is indispensable, as clients often require test instruments which comply with industry recognized requirements like TIA, ANSI, EIA-568 or ISO/IEC standard 11801:2002.
LAN cable testers are colloquially referred to as Cat6 cable testers/certifiers due to their ability to test to Category 6 twisted pair ethernet cables. A reliable Cat6 tester with features like printable results is invaluable to performing LAN cable testing, as many contractors/employees require accurate copper cable test results in a format they can submit to clients or employers. CAT6 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.
