Keeping Up has Never Been Easier!

Efficiency is critical during cable installation.

Increasingly vast networks of wires and cables supply vital electric power and communication services, increasing demands on a contractor’s time. As line installers and repairers fervently install new lines and repair existing ones, the desire to do so more quickly and economically has increased. We can help you get to that expert level.

• Learn about the cable installation process and cable installation tools that you can use to improve efficiency and quality of a cable installation job.
• Cable testing (Cat 5, Cat 6, and Cat 7 Testing) helps ensure that the installed cabling links provide the desired transmission capability to support data communication. Learn about common tests and cable testers for datacom cabling as well as standards and best practices.
• Category 8 cabling and all the related standards have been approved. Review the most common questions related to the latest twisted-pair copper system designed to support future IEEE 25GBASE-T and 40GBASE-T applications.

These Copper Cable Installation resources might also be useful in your journey to become a copper testing expert.
