Basics of Local Area Networks - LANs
• A LAN is a group of devices that communicate with
each other through copper cabling, fiber optic cabling
or wireless systems.
• Ethernet is the “language” that most devices use to
communicate. Ethernet communication can be
transmitted over copper, fiber and wireless.
• Networks are not limited to computers, they have
expanded to every system that has communication,
control or monitoring functions.
8

Basic Cabling Components
• Cable - 295 ft.
maximum length.
• Modular Jacks (RJ45) –
Terminated to the cable
at each Work Area.
• Patch Panel –
Termination point in
the Telecom Room
where all the cabling
comes together.

Categories and Data Rates
• Cable & connector
performance is specified by a
Category rating.
• What is the network owner
paying for?
1. The ability to transmit data
from one place to another.
2. A data rate that meets their
needs.
• 1 gigabit (1000 Mb) is more
than enough for most users.
• What category of cabling is
needed to support 1 Gb/s?

Building a Simple Ethernet LAN
Cable Installation Phase
1. Pull cable from the Telecom Room to
each Work Area or device location.
Label the location on each end of the
cable.
2. Terminate the cable to the modular jack
at the WA and to the patch panel in the
TR. If cables aren’t well labeled they
may need to be traced with a toner.
3. Test each cable to make sure it is
properly terminated.
4. It all starts with the cable
11
®
Termination Color Codes
• An RJ45 jack or plug can be
terminated with one of two color
codes: T568A or T568B.
• These are sometimes confused
with the TIA-568-A/B/C standard.
– The original 568A color code was
defined in the TIA-568-A standard.
The 568B color code was later
allowed because it was the way
AT&T did things.
– The TIA-568 standard has been
revised and is now in the ‘C’ version.
The 568 A/B color codes will remain.
• There is no difference other than
color.
• Whichever is used, it must be used
consistently: straight through and
at both ends
Pay careful attention to labels
when terminating jacks. It’s easy
to mix up pair orders.
12
®
Wire Map Test
• The Wire Map Test is used to detect shorts, opens, and
miswires.
• It’s the minimum test that should be performed
• What specifically does the Wire Map Test do?
– Detects any wiring errors
– Identify combinations of up to three: opens, shorts, and/or
cross-connections
– Indicates Opens and/or Shorts (Continuity)
– Identifies Split Pairs
• Does NOT test performance.
13
®
Reversal
• Conductors on one end are reversed
from the order at the other end
• Can be 1st conductor wired to 2nd slot
• Can be all 8:
1-8
2-7
3-6
4-5
etc.
14
®
Open
• Usually an open signifies a poor termination, not
making contact
• Can also be a cleanly cut conductor
• Or an over-punched
conductor
15
®
Short
• Can be a nick exposing bare conductors
• Can be 2 conductors in 1 IDC slot on a modular jack
• Nail, screw or staple through a cable
16
®
Miswire
• Conductors are not in the
same order at both ends of
the cable
17
®
Split Pair
• Conductors are in the same
“wrong” order at both ends of the
cable.
• 2 pairs of conductors are split
from each other and mated with
conductors from an adjoining pair
• Passes continuity but introduces
excessive crosstalk causing slow
data rates.

Why is does testing length matter?
• How much cable is behind the wall, left in the box or
coiled up in the back of your truck or closet?
• Where is the break or short?
• Has the cable exceeded the recommended allowed
distance for maximum performance?

Building a Simple Ethernet LAN
Networking Equipment
1.
An Ethernet switch allows
devices to communicate with
each other.
–
2.
3.
4.
Think of it like a power strip for
data, many devices sharing a
common connection.
Use patch cords to connect the
patch panel ports to the switch
ports (turn them on).
Connect PCs and other devices
to the Work Area Outlets.
Connect a server to host
network applications like email,
CRM databases or shared files.
These two PCs can communicate with
each other or with the server via the
switch.
22
®
Networking Components
• In addition to PCs any
number of devices can be
connected to a network.
• Many switches provide PoE
to a device that requests it.
• Multiple switches can be
connected together to
extend the reach beyond
295 ft.
• Ethernet is not limited to
computer networks – there
are multiple other uses that
will be discussed.

Why do you care?
What are all these things connected to?
Your cable.
Who gets blamed first if something’s not
connected to the network, can’t reach the
internet or has a network issue?
25
®
What is PoE?
• Per Wickipedia:
PoE refers to a system or
standard that allows a
single cable to provide
both data connection and
electrical power to
devices such as wireless
access points or IP
cameras.
• Voice over IP Phones
• Network or IP Cameras
• Wireless or Bluetooth
Access Points
Why do you care? It’s your
cable that transmits the
power from the switch to
the device.
Who will they blame first?
26
®
Where are Networks Testers Used?
• Everywhere… Ethernet is
not just for PC networks
anymore.
• Anywhere there are
devices communicating,
it is likely over Ethernet
using Cat 5e/6 or fiber
optic cable.
• We can test all phases of
LAN cabling installation
and network
management.
• IP phone systems
• IP CCTV
• Automated
environmental systems
• HVAC/lighting
• Audio/video
• Electronic signage
• Kiosks - ticketing, parking
control
• Access control card

Common Questions
28
®
What is the difference between MB and Mb?
MB = Mega Byte
• Mega Byte is a larger unit
than a Mega bit (Mb).
• 1 MB = 8 Mb
• MB (today Gb/s) are usually
used when referring to disk
storage or memory size.
– Your computer may have
64Gb/s (64,000 MB) of
memory
– Your hard drive may have
500Gb/s (500,000 MB) of
storage capacity.
Mb = Mega bit
• Mega bits are 1/8 the size of a
MB.
• Mb is usually used when
referring to data transmission
speeds.
• A 1000 Mb/s network
transmission speed equals 125
Mb/s.
• Downloading a 500MB movie
with a 20 Mb/s internet
connection will take 3.3
minutes vs 40 seconds on a
20MB/s connection.
29
®
What’s the difference between
10/100/1000 Mb/s
• The real benefit is when transferring data inside the
LAN. Internet speeds are bottlenecked by the service
provider.
• If you have a 20 Mb/s internet connection, having a
100 or 1000 Mb/s LAN makes no difference.
• Gigabit speeds are helpful in organizations where large
files are transferred to users. It also prevents a
bottleneck when many users are accessing a server at
the same time.
30
®
Why is a TDR so special?
• A Time Domain
Reflectometer allows a
tester to measure the
distance to both an
open and a short in
cabling.
• Without a TDR only the
distance to an open can
be measured, by using
capacitance.
• How does it work?
– Like radar, a TDR sends a
pulse of energy into the
cable and measures the
reflection.
– Based on the time delay,
the distance to the short
can be calculated.
– It works just as well to an
open.
– TDRs need to be calibrated
to a cable’s NVP, but even
if wrong, the measurement
is still close.
31
®
What is the difference between Cat 5e
and Cat 6?
• They both deliver 1 Gb/s performance. At one time
there was a debate about which would be required.
• Cat 6 provides extra performance margin that can be
helpful with sloppy installations.
• On short links, up to about 100 ft., Cat 6 can support
10 Gig, although it is rarely used for that.
32

Questions?
So if you want to test beyond the cable, what
do you need?
A cable that passes wire map SHOULD work.
How do you prove that it DOES work?

Cable Verifiers
VDV / VDV PRO / VDV II
• Simple wiremap test for miswire,
open, short or split pair.
• Some also test length and detect
Ethernet or PoE.
• Provides no performance
information about the cable.
• A cable that PASSES a verifier may
not be able to support data
transmission.
– This is true of all VDV/Verifier
testers, not just ours. It “should”
work.
• A report from a Verifier cannot be
used to argue network operation
on callbacks.
36
®
Cable Qualifiers
No IDEAL Equivalent
Basic “Quality” Testing
• Basic “performance” test with no
standard to backup the results.
• Our testing of these showed they
will pass cables that will not work
as indicated.
– Passing cables that are too long to
work
– Claiming 1000Mb will run on a
cable that only supports 10Mb
(Cat-3)
– Giving different results on the
same cable
• Nobody knows what criteria they
are using to Pass or Fail a cable.
• Some do offer tests in addition to
qualification.
– wiremap, length, service detection,
PoE

Transmission Testers
SignalTEK II/CT
Performance &
Acceptance Testing
• Tests against the IEEE 802.3ab
Ethernet Standard.
• Works by transmitting Ethernet
frames (packets) through cable.
• Measures actual lost or delayed
packets.
• Simulates real world traffic on
the cable.
• Not a frequency base test.
• Also known as “Ethernet
Certification”.
• Can be used to test cable as well
as operational networks.
• Documents proof of
performance.
39
®
Summary of Tester Types
• There are four classes of LAN cable testers on the
market: Verifiers, Qualifiers, Certifiers and
Transmission Testers.
• Verifiers do not provide performance data.
– A report from a verifier does not guarantee a cable will pass
data.
• Certifiers and Transmission Testers measure according
to recognized standards.
– Qualifiers do not test against any performance standard.
40
®
Examples and Comparisons of What Each Test Provides
TRANSMISSION TESTING VS
VERIFICATION
41
®
Transmission Test Example
Copper or Fiber Cable
• Data is transmitted bi-directionally across the cable.
• The tester counts any dropped frames and compares
to the IEEE 802.3ab standard to make a Pass/Fail
determination.
• This type of test ensures that the cable actually
performs as expected.
42
®
Transmission Test Analogy to T&M
95V
120V
• SureTEST performs a variety of tests on the circuit.
– Voltage drop, conductor impedance, THD, available short
circuit current.
• All of these tests provide much more useful
information than a simple receptacle tester provides.
43
®
Measuring Performance
SignalTEK CT/II and SureTEST
measure the ability of a system to
deliver what the customer expects
44
®
Verification Example
Cat 5e/6 Ethernet Cable
• Tests the continuity of each conductor from end-to-end.
• Checks for termination errors only, no data is
transmitted and no other performance information is
measured.
• Some models may also test length like VDV II Plus/Pro.
45
®
Verifying Continuity
Verifiers do nothing more than a
continuity test which does not guarantee
the cable will support data transmission.
What good is a report from a verifier?
46
®
SignalTEK Guarantees Performance
• The IEEE Ethernet standard has specific performance
requirements
– Like the 5% voltage drop recommended limit in the NEC*, the IEEE has a
max allowable data drop of 0.000125% for 1Gb/s Ethernet
– Both are key performance indicators of the underlying material &
workmanship quality
• Some qualifiers do ridiculous things to “prove” that data cable is
good;
– Measure “noise” with undefined P/F criteria
– Use unspecified digital signals to imply measurements performed by true
Certifiers
This is like plugging in a lamp to an electrical outlet and looking at the bulb
brightness to calculate voltage drop!
• SignalTEK is the only LAN tester that proves cabling meets the
IEEE data drop limit by measuring actual data on the cable
*Some local jurisdictions may have code requirements for voltage drop

Run that traffic through switches
Does the network have enough bandwidth?
SignalTEK II has the unique
ability to stress test an active network
based on amount of traffic
calculated using the
“Bandwidth Calculator.”
Make sure it works while everything’s up and
running and before adding more devices:
• the network isn’t too slow
• dropping packets
• crashing.
All of which your cable gets blamed for.

Who Tests & Why
NETWORK CABLE TESTING
69
®
Drivers of Cable Testing
1. Good practice, company policy
2. Job requires installation documentation
– Requirements may or may not be specific
• What tests and reports are needed to fulfill contract requirements?
3. Contractor/Installation company wants protection
– Proof of proper installation for callbacks/trouble calls
– In recent focus groups we found nearly all test for this reason at a
minimum
– We also found that majority don’t understand what is being
tested. Don’t know difference between types of testers, fall for
deceptive marketing & advertising
70
®
Jobs Requiring Documentation
What type of test and report is required to meet the
job requirements?
Job specification requires:
TIA-1152A, TIA-568-B.x, 568-C.x standards
Warranty or
NEXT, Return Loss, Insertion Loss, ACR, Alien Crosstalk, etc.
No
Yes
Contractor can use anything that generates
report.
Requires a true Certifier that performs a
complete Certification test as defined by the
TIA-1152A standard.

Network Owners & Managers
• Need to check network service
– PoE devices not powering up
– Devices cannot connect to the network
– Slow data transfers
• Troubleshooting service tickets
– Often simple cable damage or disconnected patch cord
– Network configuration problems – requires an Ethernet
diagnostic tool (NT2, ST2 or LX).
• Who does the Network Manager call if they don’t have
