Testing and Commissioning

Fluke is a brand known for producing advanced testing equipment, such as the Fluke Networks range of testers, which are designed to verify the integrity and performance of structured cabling installations.

• Cable Testing: Tools like the Fluke DSX-5000 verify the wiring’s compliance with performance standards such as ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC. They test the transmission capabilities of the cable, ensuring that it can handle the required data rate (e.g., Cat 5e, Cat 6, etc.).
• Wire Map: This tool verifies that the correct wire pairs are correctly connected.
• Length, Attenuation, and Impedance Testing: These tests ensure that the cabling does not suffer from excessive signal loss and that the installation will support high-speed network traffic without performance degradation.

Commonly used for Ethernet networking. UTP cables are easy to install and cost-effective. They are most often used in office environments for LAN (Local Area Network) connections.

Used for long-distance and high-performance data transmission. Fiber cables are much faster and more reliable than copper cables, offering a higher bandwidth capacity. These are typically used in environments requiring high-speed internet, such as data centers.
