Cable Type and Test Limit

Every once in a while I come across a case where a customer is complaining that every cable they test is failing. The first thing they do is blame the tester. Recently I was at a site where this was happening.


I've learned the first thing to do is make sure they are using the correct cable type and test limit. Remember, these both need to be set to the correct values. If you set the cable type to Cat5e and then leave the test limit at Cat6A, all of your Cat5e cables are going to fail.


To get the most reliable and repeatable test results, be sure to set both the Cable Type and Test Limit to the appropriate settings for the cables your are testing.

Taking a free and accurate words-per-minute test is a great way to benchmark your typing skills. These online tests are designed to give you a clear measure of your typing speed (WPM) and precision. It’s useful not just for personal improvement but also sometimes for job applications that require certain typing proficiency. By testing yourself regularly, you can track your progress and identify if your practice methods are effective. It’s a simple, accessible tool for anyone looking to become a faster and more accurate typist in their daily digital interactions.
