APPENDIX A. TEST STANDARDS
The LANcat tests cabling to the performance required by the cable
test standard chosen. The test limits for each specification standard
are listed in the following tables.
LANcat cable test standards may be modified to add/remove cable
tests (e.g. cable resistance) and modify which pairs are tested. See
Defining Custom Standards.
Installed Link Test Configuration
Cabling system performance requirements have been established
by the industry association, EIA/TIA in Technical Systems
Bulletin 67. TSB-67 also defines two installed cabling test
configurations, the Channel and the Basic Link.
The primary difference between the Channel and the Basic Link
configurations is that the Channel includes the user’s patch cords
and equipment cords used to connect to the workstation (at the
office end) and to the communications distribution equipment/hub
(at the wiring closet). The Basic Link excludes the user’s patch
cords and equipment cords.
