Network cable measurement & testing
A functional connection test is included with newly installed cabling. Electrical testing against a Cat6/Cat6A standard and a report per link are separate work, only when explicitly agreed in the quote. Test equipment, measurement limits, calibration and documentation are specified before the work. A functional test is not evidence of compliance with a cable standard and does not provide a manufacturer warranty certificate.

Functional connection test
For new installations we check connectivity and termination. Electrical standards-based measurement goes further and is agreed separately.
- Connectivity and termination checked
- Standards-based measurement quoted separately
Labels and records
Connection points are identifiable at handover. The scope of cable plans and documentation is specified in the quote.
- Identifiable connection points
- Documentation as quoted
Handover as agreed

Testing, measurement and warranty
A functional connection test is included with newly installed cabling. Electrical testing against a Cat6/Cat6A standard and a report per link are separate work, only when explicitly agreed in the quote. Test equipment, measurement limits, calibration and documentation are specified before the work. A functional test is not evidence of compliance with a cable standard and does not provide a manufacturer warranty certificate.
A functional test is not standards certification
No manufacturer system-warranty certificate
Agree measurement limits and reporting in advance
Know exactly what was tested
A working connection and proof of standards compliance are different results. We agree in advance which result you need.
Clear handover
Tested connection points and agreed documentation for MSP/IT.
Targeted repairs
Detected issues and any repair work are discussed.
No surprises
Standards-based testing and additional reports are quoted in advance.

Testing existing network cabling
Tell us the number of connection points and the fault or handover requirement you want checked. We first agree whether a functional connection test is sufficient or electrical standards-based measurements are needed.

A functional test is not evidence of compliance with a cable standard and does not provide a manufacturer warranty certificate.
For standards-based measurements, measured parameters are compared with agreed limits. The result applies to the measured link under those test conditions. Any repairs and retesting are agreed separately.
- Test level and price agreed in advance
- Connection points and results clearly identified
- Additional standards-based measurements and reporting as quoted

Frequently asked questions
A functional connection test is included with newly installed cabling. Electrical testing against a Cat6/Cat6A standard and a report per link are separate work, only when explicitly agreed in the quote. Test equipment, measurement limits, calibration and documentation are specified before the work. A functional test is not evidence of compliance with a cable standard and does not provide a manufacturer warranty certificate.
For agreed electrical standards-based measurements, the report identifies the cable, selected limits, measured parameters and result per link. We agree the standard and tester beforehand. A manufacturer warranty does not automatically follow.
Questions about reporting and costs
A functional connection test is included with newly installed cabling. Electrical testing against a Cat6/Cat6A standard and a report per link are separate work, only when explicitly agreed in the quote. Test equipment, measurement limits, calibration and documentation are specified before the work. A functional test is not evidence of compliance with a cable standard and does not provide a manufacturer warranty certificate.
Can you test existing cabling?
Send the situation and number of connection points. We agree test level, possible repairs, reporting and price beforehand.
What does measurement cost?
Functional testing with new installation is included. Standards-based measurement and additional reporting are quoted separately; number of links, access and documentation determine the price.
