Cable Testers
There are many different cable testers available with a wide variety of features.
Cable testers with limited features can be as inexpensive as $50 to $100.
More advanced cable testers can be priced above $5,000. Important measurements that cable testers can make are:
- Wire map
- Attenuation
- Noise
- Near end crosstalk (NEXT)
- Distance Measure
In order to ensure that the network is performing optimally, take periodic measurements and compare them with EIA/TIA and IEEE specifications.
