“Cable Testing Means More Uptime: Standards
and Testing of Industrial Ethernet Copper Cabling”
Mike Berg – PANDUIT Corp. –
Tinley Park, Illinois, USA
Jim Davis – Fluke Networks –

New & Emerging Applications
More than half of Industrial Ethernet problems
can be traced to cabling. Some of these show
up immediately during the startup process—
others can allow the connection to function
properly until something such as environmental
changes cause communications failures. Ethernet
is a robust technology that allows communications
to continue even under marginal circumstances—
but a change in those circumstances might cause
communications problems or a complete failure
down the road. Testing cables when installed can
speed the startup process and prevent problems
testers for pre-deployment and troubleshooting.
