Cable Testing for Existing Category 5 Cable

Installed Category 5 cabling must pass tests for Attenuation, Near-End Crosstalk (NEXT), and Far-End Crosstalk (FEXT). This cable 
testing information is specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-67 standard. Additionally, cables must also pass test parameters for 
Return Loss and Equal-Level Far-End Crosstalk (ELFEXT). These tests are specified in the ANSI/TIA/EIA-TSB-95 Bulletin, “The 
Additional Transmission Performance Guidelines for 100-Ohm 4-Pair Category 5 Cabling.”

NOTE: When testing your cable installation, be sure to include all patch cables between switches and end devices.

Adjusting Existing Category 5 Cabling to Run 1000BASE-T

If your existing Category 5 installation does not meet one of the test parameters for 1000BASE-T, there are basically three  
measures that can be applied to try to correct the problem: 

1. Replace any Category 5 patch cables with high-performance Category 5e or Category 6 cables.

2. Reduce the number of connectors used in the link.

3. Reconnect some of the connectors in the link.
