Additionally , there is a comprehensive audit where the key processes involved directly in the manufacture of structured cabling are assessed . Each method or system is reviewed in depth to ensure repeatability and highquality output . In doing so this minimizes the risk of product failures throughout every stage of the manufacturing process .
Samples from each cable design are forensically examined to ensure that all relevant specification parameters are satisfied . The outcome of all of the above is to install confidence for both the manufacturer , installer and end-user that the structured cabling system is suitable for its intended purpose .
Cables form the building blocks of any IT infrastructure therefore high-quality product , proven to meet the required output performance levels is critical . Using a certified manufacturer takes the way any guesswork and enables you to be sure of product quality .
It is critically important to ensure that the structured cabling installed within your infrastructure is tested and verified to meet all of the complex data transmission parameters , often demanded by today ’ s telecommunications industry .
In today ’ s data driven world any instance of system outages , data corruption or simple loss of time can cause businesses across the world a myriad of issues and problems .
To conclude , data communication testing and certification helps you to ensure the level of quality , in line with the industry standards , or above this minimum can be successfully delivered to your end-user . One , which a nonapproved cable cannot guarantee .
The responsibility for maintained levels of quality falls on every touch point of the supply chain , this starts right at the beginning of the telecommunications data network specification process , where independently approved cable should be outlined as a requirement .
As the purchase power moves from this decision , project owners and procurement teams should also check for verified certification . Finally , care should also be taken at both the installation and once functioning in operation , so as to ensure unnecessary damage to the cable is not encountered .
Third party certification offers continuous peace of mind , delivered through a rigorous auditing and product sampling schedule to ensure cables consistently meet the required standards . Data cable certification is essential to making sure structured cabling systems are reliable and efficient accommodating the forever increasing data demand .
