Structured Cabling Testing & Certification
We test and certify structured cabling to confirm it meets the required performance standard and is fit for purpose. Whether you are commissioning a new installation, validating contractor work, or troubleshooting persistent issues, we provide independent certification results and clear actions. Every run is identified, tested with calibrated equipment, and documented so you have evidence you can rely on.
When Cabling Testing & Certification is Needed
Typical use cases
Reliable Wi‑Fi and networking start with reliable cabling. Poor terminations, incorrect pin‑outs, damaged pairs, and excessive length can cause intermittent faults that look like wireless problems. This service verifies the physical layer, provides evidence of performance, and reduces the risk of time wasted troubleshooting the wrong layer. The outcome is a clear pass/fail view of each run, with practical recommendations for remediation where needed.
-
PoE issues
APs or phones rebooting, not powering, or negotiating at reduced power due to cabling faults.
-
Unknown legacy cabling
You need clarity on what exists, what works, and what should be replaced or re‑terminated.
-
Assurance and evidence
You require documented results for internal QA, audits, or warranty discussions.
-
New installation sign‑off
You need objective certification results before you accept handover from a contractor.
-
Network instability
Intermittent drops, high retries, poor throughput, or odd client behaviour where cabling must be ruled out.
-
Moves, adds, and changes
You are extending or altering cabling and want every new run labelled, tested, and documented.
What you get
Clear certification outputs that confirm performance, identify faults, and support decisions. Deliverables vary by cable type and scope, but typically include the following.
Pass/fail results per run
A clear outcome for every tested link, aligned to the agreed performance category.
Fault identification
Pin‑out, split pairs, length issues, poor terminations, shield continuity (where applicable), and other physical problems highlighted.
Certification report pack
Industry‑standard certification report exports with run IDs, timestamps, and supporting measurements (Fluke format).
Labelling and traceability
Clear identification of what was tested and, where required, how it maps to your patching and network ports.
Remediation actions
A prioritised list of fixes, from re-terminations to replacements, with practical next steps.
Handover notes
A concise summary of findings, assumptions, and recommendations for ongoing maintenance.
How it works
A structured approach that confirms scope early, produces consistent results, and gives you clear evidence.
-
Step 01
Scope and objectives
Confirm which runs to test, cable types, performance target, and any operational constraints.
-
Step 02
Confirm run IDs
Confirm run IDs and terminations so results map cleanly to your patching and network ports.
-
Step 03
Test and certify
Carry out structured tests using calibrated equipment and capture results consistently per run.
-
Step 04
Report and actions
Provide certification exports, highlight failures, and recommend fixes and prioritised next steps.
