To enable engineers already familiar with copper cable installation to gain further design information and practical experience on a variety of certification testers and to improve their skills in diagnostics and fault rectification. Reference is also made to future proposed copper cabling system developments.

The course provides detailed requirements for standards-based design of copper cabling systems for Cat 5e and Cat 6 installation, EMC considerations and termination and testing requirements. Practical exercises demonstrate the correct use of the structured cabling test equipment available on the market today. Since the introduction of Category 6 cabling the requirements for advanced testing have never been greater. The practical elements also extend to demonstrate the tests that need to be carried out in the field.
