Two different standards in current use: TIA/EIA or ISO/EN Within these standards there are two levels of copper cabling based on RJ-45 jacks. In both standards the components (jacks and cables) are classified as either Category 5 or Category 6 In the TIA/EIA standards links are classified as either Category 5 or Category 6 In the ISO/EN standards links are classified as either Class D or Class E

Cabling Installation
This course assumes attendees have previous experience or training and basic cabling practices are not covered. Refer to Volition Design, Installation and Maintenance manual for more detailed information
3M Telecommunications
Keep detailed records of original installation and subsequent changes Identify every element of the cabling system, including pathways and spaces Assign a unique identifier to every cable (or use numbering specified by designer and/or customer)
Label each cable end within 200 mm of sheath end
Cables must be properly supported Cables must have long term protection, for example ducting or tray work. Do not lay them directly on the ground Cable fill limits are included in system design - Stick to them! Do not lay cable above suspended ceiling direct on ceiling tiles, rails or supports, unless they are specifically designed for cable support. Provide the specified minimum of slack at each outlet and slack in the bottom of the cabinets so that panels can be relocated when required

Test Equipment
Upon completion of the installation, the horizontal copper cabling system must be tested. Tests shall be performed using a level II field tester as defined in ISO/IEC 11801. This will be an automatic tester or scanner. Many older testers on the market are not capable of making the new permanent link test. It is essential that the test equipment used is capable of making a permanent link test in accordance with the requirements of the latest edition of the standards. Use the same tester set up to test the Class E (Cat 6) and the Class D (Cat 5E) configurations. Choose the correct tester settings Consult the tester manufacturer for more information
3M Telecommunications
Use test cords which are in good condition Update the software in the tester Calibrate the tester following the recommendations of the manufacturer. Use the NVP from the cable manufacturer to avoid length errors. Standard rules apply between 20 and 90 metres. For short lengths use the 3dB rule for the Return Loss and 4 dB rule for NEXT. The tester is only accurate to +/- 3% The installer must make a good installation

It is the responsibility of the tester to ensure that the NVP of the cable matches the setting of the field testers. Field test equipment provide capability for 'NVP calibration'. The NVP in a cable sample is determined as follows: 1) Physically measure the length of the cable sample, using a sample of at least 15 m. Greater accuracy in NVP determination will be obtained using longer lengths. For example, if the resolution of the measurement is 1 m, the best NVP accuracy that can be expected for a 25 m cable is 1/25 or 4 %. 2) Set the field test equipment to its 'NVP calibration' mode. Enter the measured distance into the tester. The NVP as a fraction of the speed of light is calculated as follows, using appropriate length units: NVP = Physical length Measured propagation delay x Velocity of light in vacuum
where the velocity of light in vacuum is 3 x 108 m/s. Use this NVP when making subsequent length measurements on cable from the same spool. 3M Telecommunications
Insertion loss is the new name for attenuation The loss of signal strength in the link is insertion loss. The more insertion loss you have, the less signal is present at the receiver. Insertion loss increases with both frequency and length. Insertion loss must be measured over the applicable frequency range. Insertion loss is measured in dB. Since it is a loss, it is usually expressed as a negative value. Thus, -10 dBm is a weaker signal than 8 dBm. Field test equipment will report the worst value of insertion loss and margin Margin is the difference between the measured insertion loss and the maximum insertion loss permitted by the standard selected. A margin of 4 dB is better than 1 dB

Larger number (less crosstalk) is more desirable than a smaller number (more crosstalk). NEXT varies significantly with frequency, it is important to measure it across the range of frequencies. NEXT failures are usually due to
excessive untwist non parallel wires crossed wires at the jack kinks in the cable
3M Telecommunications
Return Loss (RL) is a measure of all reflections that are caused by the impedance mismatches at all locations along the link and is expressed in decibel (dB). The return loss measurement varies significantly with frequency. Return loss failure is caused by poor termination and/or kinks or bends in the cable
3M Telecommunications
Test Report
Test results for all links need to be stored and upon completion of the testing a fully documented test report must be produced. The contents of the test report shall include at least the following information: system location testing date name of person(s) performing test performance details of each link tested

Warranty
3M offers a 12 month warranty as a standard for all Volition components copper or fibre An extended warranty of 20 years may be applied for upon installation.
