Low Voltage Certification
Standards-based certification of your copper cabling plant — every link tested against ANSI/TIA-568 with a calibrated field tester and delivered as a permanent, warranty-grade report set.
We certify installed copper links to category performance so you have proof every run meets spec, not just continuity. Using a calibrated field certifier, we test each permanent link or channel against ANSI/TIA-568 limits for the rated category (Cat6/6A): wire map, insertion loss, NEXT/PSNEXT, return loss, propagation delay, delay skew, and length. Failures are diagnosed, re-terminated, and re-tested until they pass. Results export per run with full margins so the plant can support a manufacturer system warranty where applicable. You receive the complete certification report set plus a summary of any links remediated to reach a pass.

Frequently asked
What's the difference between certification and basic testing?
Testing typically verifies continuity and wire map. Certification measures each link against ANSI/TIA-568 performance limits for its category and reports margins, which is what manufacturers require to issue a system warranty. We provide the full graphical results, not just pass/fail.
Can certification support a manufacturer warranty on the cabling?
In most cases yes. When the plant uses a single manufacturer's certified components installed to their guidelines, our certification results can be submitted for their system warranty. We document the configuration and supply the report set in the format the program requires. [CONFIRM warranty program with chosen manufacturer]
What happens if some links fail certification?
We diagnose the cause, typically a termination, kink, or length issue, re-terminate or re-route as needed, and re-test until the link passes. The final report set reflects passing links, and the remediation summary records what was corrected.
