But if you are charging or going to be charging people for Cat6 certified, then it should certify as Cat6. This test module functions with an intelligent network modular test platform. Cat5e cert is good enough for gigabit, so most people are fine with this in SOHO and Hobby. GAOTek Gigabit Ethernet Tester Module for 1G and 10G Packet is designed for installation and maintenance of Metro/Carrier Ethernet and IP services.It supplies a compact test solution for 1G and 10G packet Ethernet, including ITU-T Y.1564 standard for SLA and OAM test features. Also if you punch down to a keystone keep the wire twisted as close to the keystone as possible, if you untwist it too much it won't pass. Passing Cat6 can be hard, if there are any kinks, nicks, etc. However there are some specialized PC based testers like NetPi turning up, if you are not sure where to start as far as what software to use, and how to use it. The downside is the price, especially for SOHO or hobbyists. They completely eliminate the possibility of PC hardware issues from the equation. Some certifiers only test continuity on the non data pairs anyway, so if you do the same thing it is NOT the end of the world.Ĭable certifiers make finding the issue quick and easy, and make testing much quicker then a PC. If you need to test the non data pairs (applies to 10/100 ONLY not gigabit which uses all 4 pairs), then you will need either a tester (which tests continuity), or a certifier (which is expensive). The larger the file you copy the higher the guarantee is that the cable is good. If a file copy of a large file hits max speed, and wireshark or netstat -s shows lower TCP retransmissions (0.5% or lower is acceptable), then the wire is good. If it auto negotiates to 10/100 or doesn't work at all your data pairs are out of order or incorrectly terminated. If you are doing Cat5e/6 gigabit and your PC auto negotiates to gigabit then your data pairs are terminated correctly.
