The most thorough testing for network cabling is certification. Certification proves that a cabling system adheres to rigor­ous standards for performance and installation workmanship. Cable certification requires trained technicians and specialized test equipment called cable analyzers. Cabling has been known to cause as many as half of all network failures.

1. Certifying is Less Expensive than Repair

Without certification, repairs must be made on a live network or worse, on a network suffering an outage.Network downtime extracts a painful price in lost revenue, lost productivity, diminished customer service and competitive disadvantage. The Gartner, Inc. estimated that an hour of down­time costs a bone-chilling $42,000 per hour, on average.

Contrast this to the cost of certification. A network with 600 Cat 6 copper lines undergoes certification testing. A realistic assumption is that 5% of the links fail the initial test and must be repaired and retested. Using a modern cable certifier the entire process will take approximately 11 man-hours. At a commercial rate of $65 per hour, the expense is less than $750.

2. Product Warranties Are Limited

A network owner may be tempted to roll the dice in tough times and use a manufacturer's warranty as a security blanket. The quality of a cable installation lies largely in the hands of the installers. If installation craftsmanship is poor, even ex­cellent products fail. The failures and the attendant hardships are outside the scope of a hardware warranty.

3. Certification and Recertification Will Future Proof the Infrastructure

You might believe that a cable build-out "does what it does" when installed, and never does more. This could be short-sighted. A Category 6 copper cable was designed to support 1-Gigabit per second data rate. Recent field certification tests indicate that a good deal of the Cat 6 cable used in datacenters complies with the 10GBASE-T stan­dard and can support 10-Gigabit service over short to moderate distances. If you recertify the Cat 6 cable in your datacen­ter, you may find an efficient path to a 10X throughput.

4. Uncertified Cabling = Stranded Capital

When a new occupant enters a building, the state of its cabling presents a series of questions. A new tenant may view the mass of copper and/or fiber as a mystery, not an asset. Certifying 200 lines of cabling will cost less than $500 at most commercial rates. Installing 200 new lines of new Cat 6 cable will cost $5,000-$10,000. Certification is life extension for a cable plant. Lack of certification turns legacy cabling into stranded capital.

5. Reducing Waste is Good Policy

The National Electrical Code (NEC 2002) requires the removal of abandoned cable that is not identified for future use. Without certification, legacy cable may well include the cost of removal, the cost of recycling and/or the envi­ronmental impact of disposal. It is sound business policy to maximize use of existing copper and fiber cable. When properly maintained it has a long lifespan.

6. Buyer Beware

An unsettling trend in the cable industry relates to "no-name" Cat 5, 6, and 6A product. Unfortunately, much of this inexpensive cable is made from inferior materials using questionable manufacturing processes.

In 2008 the Communications Cable & Connectivity Association tested nine brands of no-name cables, all of which were rated for use in risers or plenum spaces. Not one met the physical requirements defined in TIA 568-B.2. Only five met the electrical test requirements defined in TIA 568-B.2 and one met the safety requirements defined by UL 1666 and NFPA 262. The chasm in the quality process leaves end users exposed to safety and performance risks that are entirely avoidable.

The Last National Service Man $25.62 National service was not voluntary for men in the UK in 1958. All men over eighteen who were medically fit and not in a restricted occupation were called up as it was termed for two years. You had no choice unless you liked prison that is. Similarly you had no choice of which service you went into either. I cannot for instance think why I would have chosen the RAF. No relative of mine had served in the RAF, and I had never been in an aeroplane. I actually started my national service on the second of December 1958 and actually finished my service in January 1962. So on the second of December I became 5065237 A.C. U.T. Bryant. Or Bryant 237 for short. I was no longer a person with a first name or even the title Mr. While technically I suppose I was not actually the very last national service man called up, I was in one of the last batches. The following is a personal view of my service looked at from a lighthearted, nonmilitary viewpoint. I hope you enjoy it.
