Copper Cabling Certification with LanTEK IV: TIA Standards

Course Overview:

This self-paced module introduces learners to the fundamentals of copper cable certification within enterprise networks, data centers, campuses, and commercial office environments.

You’ll gain:

• A clear overview of the structured cabling and data communications industry
• An understanding of why cable certification matters for performance, compliance, and warranties
• Core testing principles and practical troubleshooting techniques
• Insight into modern Power over Ethernet (PoE) testing requirements and challenges
• Familiarity with certification workflows aligned to TIA standards

Learning Outcomes:

By the end of the course, participants will be able to:

• Test and certify structured cabling systems in accordance with TIA and international standards
• Configure and operate the LanTEK IV for both certification and troubleshooting in enterprise networks
• Apply current PoE testing procedures to ensure compliance, safety, and network performance
• Prepare professional test reports for customers, audits, and manufacturer warranty claims
• Improve efficiency and accuracy when testing across data centres, campus environments, and office networks

Why Certification Matters:

Cable certification is no longer optional. Improperly tested links can lead to:

• Network downtime and performance failures
• Rejected warranty claims
• Costly rework and reputational damage
• This course explains the business and technical value of certification, giving technicians the knowledge to deliver compliant, future-ready installations with confidence

Focused on Real-World PoE Testing

With PoE now powering access points, cameras, displays, and IoT devices, technicians must understand how power delivery affects link performance. This course covers:
