Chapter 13 Copper Testing

Bonding and Grounding
Bonding is a term used to indicate that the cable shields are
connected across the openings (where a cable is opened or ends,
and where cabinets, splices, and enclosures are located). Grounding
refers to the cable shield connection to ground at different sections
of the cable.
Copper Expert performs tests to ensure good bonding and
grounding. It checks ground resistance, impulse noise, and spectral
analysis. If a problem is detected, Copper Expert presents possible
solutions.
To run this test, follow the instructions on the screen.
Service Analysis
The Service Analysis test asks the user what kind
of service is to be run on the pair and determines
whether this service can run without errors. It
examines the frequency bands to be used for that
service, checking for any type of noise.
If noise is found, the application will analyse it in
more detail, searching for anything that can disturb
that band.
In each case, the application provides instructions in
the Expert Advice section on if and how the problem
can be fixed.
An example of a problem and its solution are shown
here.
