Qualification is a new category of testers designed to meet the emerging needs of network technicians who need to upgrade to higher network speeds as well as troubleshoot connectivity problems. Qualification testers determine if an existing cabling link can or can not support certain network speeds and technologies. This differs from certification testers, which guarantee cabling installations comply with TIA/ISO performance standards and basic verification testers, which test if the cable is connected correctly.
–Qualifies - Sees if your existing cabling has the bandwidth to support voice, 10/100, VoIP or Gigabit Ethernet
• Troubleshoots - shows why existing cabling cannot support the network's bandwidth requirement (e.g. crosstalk at 11 meters)
• Discovers - detects what's at the end of any cable and displays device configuration (speed/duplex/pairing)
• Identifies unused switch ports that can be reallocated
• Graphically maps wiring configuration and shows distance to faults with Intelligent Wiremap
• Tests all copper cabling media: twisted-pair, coax, and audio cabling
Specifications:
–Cable types supported : UTP, STP, FTP, SSTP, RG6, RG59, auido and security
–Qualification autotests : 1000BASE-T, 100BASE-TX, 10BASE-T, VoIP, 1394b S100, TELCO, Wiremap only, Coax

–Wiremap: Can detect single wire faults and supports MultiMap mode with up to seven remote office identifiers. Draws proportional wire length to breaks. Detects split pairs.
–Find fault: Measures crosstalk and impedance and compares against appropriate limits based on qualification test selected. Detects location of large point sources as well as distributed sources in the cabling if they are sufficient to disqualify the application
