COMMUNICATIONS TEST AND MEASUREMENT SOLUTIONS

JDSU Solutions for Enterprise Structured Cabling

Enterprise Network Testing

An Enterprise network consists of many types of links and locations:

• campus and service provider links that connect to the entrance facility (EF)

• riser links that provide floor-to-floor connectivity (between EF and telecommunications rooms [TR])

• horizontal links that provide connectivity from TR to the workspace or data center.

Performing a variety of tests for each link type in each area when building and operating the network will ensure maximum network uptime. The table on page 2 provides examples of tests to perform on copper and fiber infrastructure

Solutions for Testing Enterprise Copper Coppercabling isdominant in theEnterprise, connecting thevastmajorityofdevicestothenetwork.Whenbuildingorupgradinganetwork,itiscriticaltotestcopper runs to ensure proper installation and ability to support the service they will carry.Whenperforming regularmoves, adds, and changes (MACs) in anoperational network, it is important to test the cabling and eliminate it as a cause of networkconnectivityandperformanceissues.Mostcoppertesttoolssupportbasictests such as wiremap, length, tone generation, and tracing of cables using passive IDdevices.However,testingbeyondthesesimpleparametersisoftenrequired.Whenselectingatesterforcoppercabling,ensurethatthetester:

• Performstestsappropriatetotheneed Differentscenariosrequiredifferenttestingapproaches.Typically,newbuilding

installationsrequirecertifyingcoppercablestointernationalstandards,suchasTIA/EIA-568orISO/IEC11801.Smallerinstallationsmaysimplyrequirespeedtesting the cable runs to ensure they support a particular speed of Ethernet. Day-to-daymaintenance(suchasMACs)mayrequirebasicverificationtesting(wiremap and length).

• Allowsyoutodocumenttestresults Sometimesyouonlyneed to test the cable;butother situations requiredoc-
