[QUOTE="Philip Roberts, post: 83476, member: 111"] Re: AC and signal cable of whatever type The Fluke tester Victor used is the "SMAART/TEF/Systune" of Structured cable measurement with a cost to match just under $10k as I recall, we have on in the IT dept of the University where I work, we test every Cat6/A cable we pull to make sure it is installed correctly and will work for anything we might throw at it over the next 10+ years. Each of the graphs on the right side of the image is a measurement of some relevant parameter. Thing like Near End cross(X) Talk, Return Loss, etc. The jagged curves are the measurements for each pair, separate smooth line is test limit. The big check mark is what matters, the detail tells you about what is close to causing problems. It would be interesting to see a long (200'+) cable tested under the same circumstances. Some errors are end/termination related while others are length related. As for Cat6 vs Cat5e it's a higher spec cable that can pass signal at higher frequency/data rate. There's even such a thing as Cat6A which goes even further. You can also always use a higher spec/category of cable with out problems. Philip [/QUOTE]
