| | Yesterday I tested 20 Cat5e cables in a production plant, where some of the cables are being used and others no. They are having sometimes problems of speed and connectivity in some locations and in others is ok. However, after testing all the cables, "1 out of 20 passed the test " The problem was always Return Loss !!. What is causing that ? How can I fix the problem ? |

| | Do you guys have a class that covers all htese type of things. I think you guys (FLUKE) at one point had a certified cable tester class or something like that. Thanks.

| Yes, the CCTT. I re-wrote it a couple months ago, it is more hands on analyzing data taken from real installations. It is now run by:

The instructor is a former TAC person.
