What is Fluke Testing?
Fluke testing is typically used to verify the performance of copper cables, such as Ethernet cables, and to ensure that they meet the requirements of a particular standard. Where the cables may seem to be in good condition and free of damage from the outside, beneath the jacket may lie a number of complexities. Common tests performed during a fluke test include, but are not limited to;
- Continuity testing: This test ensures that all of the wires in the cable are connected to the correct termination points.
- Insulation resistance testing: This test measures the resistance between the conductors in the cable.
- NEXT testing: This test measures the amount of signal that is leaked from one conductor to another.
- Return loss testing: This test measures the amount of signal reflected back from the end of the cable.
Fluke testing is a valuable tool for ensuring the quality and performance of copper cables. By conducting regular fluke tests, organizations can help to prevent downtime and improve the reliability of their networks. Contact a member of our team to find out more.
Here are some of the benefits of fluke testing:
- It can help to identify problems with cables before they cause outages or performance problems.
- It can help to ensure that cables meet the requirements of industry standards.
- It can help to improve the reliability of networks.
- It can help to save time and money by preventing the need to troubleshoot and repair cables that are not functioning correctly.
