Cable Testing Fundamentals

Capacitance Errors
The larger the capacitance, the higher the error rate. Small changes in the
capacitance measurements are normal due to the handling of the cable during
shipping and installation. The addition of connectors and patch cables will also
affect capacitance values.
Troubleshooting Capacitance Problems
Problem: Capacitance Exceeds the Maximum Limit
Probable Causes
Compression, stretching, or excessive bending damage to
the cable.
Defective connectors.
Insulation damage at a connector.
Ground loops created between cable shielding (if used) and
equipment grounding (via RS-232 cable to computer, or
auxiliary power).
Improperly chosen cables or patch cords.
Moisture in the cable.
Poor connections at punch downs and wall plates
Other Tests Affected
Test
Possible Result
Length
Affected pairs will appear longer.
Average Impedance
Change in average impedance is
inversely proportional to change in
capacitance
