What are channel testing, link testing and unit testing?

Many friends know that good network cables need to be tested, but they don`t know how to distinguish them. Today Xiaokai will help you understand:

How to distinguish the quality of network cables through the Fluke test? How to distinguish the quality of network jumpers? Fluke is a professional testing tool. Fluke testing usually refers to the American Fluke tester that performs Network Cable testing and produces a test report. Now it is also widely used for the acceptance of integrated wiring weak current projects, and its test results are recognized by people from all walks of life at home and abroad. Fluke's test projects include link testing, channel testing, and unit testing. What do these three types of tests refer to? Xiao Kai, editor of Shenzhen Kaiwell Electronics Co., Ltd., is here to share with you:

1. Channel test (channel): This project is often used as a network jumper test project and over-channel test network cable. The network cable tested by this project can meet most network needs and is suitable for small enterprise networks and home wiring connections for short-distance transmission.

2. Link test (link): It mainly tests whether the engineering network cable (boxed network cable) meets the standard, and the over-link test network cable. Through the test project target network cable, it can be suitable for long-distance outdoor connections and ensure the transmission effect.

3. Unit test (Patch Cord): Also known as jumper test, single-unit test network cable is mainly a test item for network jumpers. It is a high-level test item. The test performance includes long use time, more stable performance, and no packet loss or data loss. In contrast, network cables that have passed unit testing have better performance and are suitable for application environments with high performance requirements, such as medium and large data centers or brand data centers.

To sum up, whether it is a home network, an enterprise network or a digital-centric network, in the face of the growing number of digital streams and multimedia services, large-capacity and high-speed networks continue to expand, and the requirements for network cables will only become higher and higher. Therefore, In the long run, choosing a good quality network cable is imperative.

According to the application field, for home networks and small business networks, the network connection structure is simple and the transmission speed and performance requirements are not high. Just choose a network cable that has passed the Fluke channel test. If you use a poor-quality network cable, it will cause serious consequences such as packet loss, lagging, network failure, and even paralysis. Therefore, it is best to test the network cable through a Fluke unit. Customers who need such products, please feel free to contact me.
