Network Cabling Certification

Every Run Tested. Every Result Documented.

An untested cable plant is a liability waiting to surface. Marginal runs pass basic link tests, get buried behind walls, and fail under real-world load - months or years after the installer is gone and the warranty window has closed.

SRS Networks certifies every copper and fiber run to TIA/EIA-568 standards using Fluke test equipment and delivers the complete documentation package your project requires - from warranty submission to compliance audit.

The Problem

Uncertified Cable Is a Problem You Haven't Found Yet

Most cable installations are never tested to standard. The failures are quiet at first - then show up as intermittent drops, speed degradation, and PoE+ devices that won't power at the worst possible moment.

Untested Cable Runs Creating Hidden Failures

Cable installers rarely test every run after pulling. Untested infrastructure means intermittent failures that are nearly impossible to diagnose after walls are closed and equipment is racked.

Intermittent Failures With No Root Cause

Marginal cable runs may pass basic link tests but fail under load or with high-speed equipment. Without certification data, IT teams spend hours chasing problems that a 10-minute test would have surfaced immediately.

No Documentation or Cable Records

Most installations hand off with no labeling map, no test reports, and no as-built drawings. When something breaks two years later, your team has no reference point to start troubleshooting.

Warranty and Compliance Issues

Structured cabling system warranties require certified installation with documented test results. Without certification reports, warranty claims are denied and compliance audits flag the infrastructure as non-conforming.

Failed Audits and Tenant Disputes

New construction handoffs and tenant improvement projects are frequently disputed when the contractor lacks certification documentation. No test report means no proof of delivery to spec.

The Solution

Certified to Standard. Documented for the Record.

SRS Networks tests every copper and fiber run using Fluke DSX-8000 and CFT-100 series equipment - the instruments required for TIA/EIA-568 certification. Every run receives a complete parametric test that captures insertion loss, return loss, NEXT, ELFEXT, propagation delay, and wiremap. Runs that fail get fault-located, root-caused, and remediated before the report is delivered.

What's Included

Complete Cable Certification Coverage

From parametric testing and fault remediation to full documentation packages, SRS Networks delivers everything required to certify, close out, and document your cable infrastructure.

Cable Testing & Certification

Every copper and fiber run tested with Fluke DSX-8000 and CFT-100 series equipment - the industry standard for TIA/EIA-568 certification. Results capture every parameter required for warranty and compliance.

Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6A copper certification
Single-mode and multimode fiber testing
TIA/EIA-568 pass/fail per run

Fault Detection & Remediation

Failed runs get more than a note in a report. SRS identifies the fault location, root cause, and recommended fix - whether it's a bad termination, excessive bend radius, or a damaged connector.

OTDR fault location on fiber runs
TDR-based fault mapping on copper
Remediation recommendations per fault

Certification Report Package

Complete digital and printed certification reports for every run - formatted for submission to warranty programs, tenant handoffs, compliance audits, and internal IT documentation libraries.

Per-run pass/fail results and parameters
Fluke LinkWare-formatted digital export
Executive summary and full appendix

Documentation & Labeling

Physical cable labels, port numbering maps, patch panel schedules, and as-built floor plans delivered alongside certification reports. Your infrastructure is documented the moment it's verified.

Cable ID labels and port schedules
Patch panel and switch port mapping
As-built floor plan documentation
The Difference

Uncertified Infrastructure vs. SRS Certified Cable

The difference between certified and uncertified infrastructure isn't visible on day one - it shows up in support calls, warranty disputes, and failed audits later.

Real-World Use Cases

When Cable Certification Matters Most

SRS Networks certifies cable infrastructure for general contractors, facility managers, IT directors, and project owners across construction, commercial real estate, and regulated industries - wherever documentation and proof of standard compliance are non-negotiable.

New Construction Handoff Verification

Before you accept a building from a general contractor, every cable run should be independently certified. SRS tests the full installation and produces the documentation needed to hold the contractor accountable to spec.

Tenant Improvement Validation

TI projects require proof that new cabling meets the lease or build-out spec. SRS certification reports document every run to TIA/EIA standards and provide the deliverable that closes out the project cleanly.

Compliance Audits

Healthcare, financial, and government facilities require documented cabling infrastructure for compliance audits. SRS produces audit-ready certification packages that satisfy internal and external reviewers.

Troubleshooting Existing Infrastructure

When intermittent failures, speed drops, or unexplained errors plague a network, certification testing identifies marginal runs that are too degraded for 10GbE or PoE+ but still pass basic link tests.

Why SRS Networks

The Right Equipment. The Right Documentation.

Cable certification is only as good as the tools and standards used to perform it.
