Many cabling systems currently in use
will have been in-situ for a number of years, They will have
been added to and altered over the years. They will also have
been affected by other changes to the building infrastructure,
such as building works and other cable installations. The net
result of this can be unreliability and a network performance
which is below par.
A cabling health check can help to identify problem areas, enabling
corrective action to be taken to ensure optimal performance.
Systematic are able to carry out a selection of cabling health
checks, from a random selection (25% of total cables) to a full
(100% of total cables) selection. For example:
A Basic Link test is connectivity of Cable Meter to the wall/floor
box outlet modules and the Patch Panel ports, i.e. the testing
of Fly Leads and Patch Cords are excluded. A full test will
include patch leads and fly leads.
Using a LanCat Cable Meter Systematic are able to provide fast
and accurate results in a well defined and easy to understand
report.
Typically, a healthcheck will report on the following items:
• Cabling/Outlet
Plans
• Previous Test Results
and Certifications
• Cable Sheath Category
• Cable Commonality
• Wall outlet Category
• Patch Panel Category
• Conductor Terminations
stripped to min and twist maintained to Krone Block
• Bend Radii and Crushing
• Ties Loosened
• Loom Neatness
• Number of Cables in Looms
• Proximity to Electric
Current
• Outer Sheath Damage
• Pinching Stretching
• Trunking Capacity
• Labeling and Numbering
• Patch Number & Test
