| | This tester falls under the term "Qualification Tester" as described in ANSI/TIA-570-B. It is not a certification tester and no cabling vendor will accept results from it if you are trying to obtain a cabling warranty. Looking at the documentation, I could not find any reference to ELFEXT/ACR-F. As with the CableIQ Qualification Tester we sell, it will not meet the requirements of ANSI/TIA-568-C.2 which covers Category 3, 5e, 6 and 6A limits for Channel and Permanent Links. It does not meet the requirements for field tester accuracy as defined in ANSI/TIA-1152 or IEC 61935-1 either. Kind regards Adrian Young

| Here are the levels for accuracy as defined in ANSI/TIA-1152:- Level IIe - Category 5e
- Level III - Category 6
- Level IIIe - Category 6A
Level II (TIA/EIA-TSB-67) covered Category 5 and is now obsolete as 2001. So no, Level II will not do Category 5e. You need at least Level IIe to do Category 5e. For our non US folks, here are the levels for accuracy as defined in IEC 61935-1: - Level IIe - Class D
- Level III - Class E
- Level IIIe - Class Ea
- Level IV - Class F and Fa
There is no Level IVa to support Class Fa (1 GHz) field testing, not even in draft. Kind regards Adrian Young
