A network can have strong internet and good switches, but still perform poorly because of hidden cabling faults. Split pairs, weak terminations, wrong pinouts, poor patching, crushed cables, and fiber loss can cause unstable speeds, random drops, packet loss, and PoE failures.

Skilled Tech Solutions provides Cable Testing & Certification in Abu Dhabi to verify copper and fiber links, confirm PASS/FAIL status, locate faults clearly (rack port/outlet/distance-to-event where applicable), support retesting after fixes, and deliver handover-ready documentation that saves time during maintenance and audits.

What Cable Testing & Certification Means (Simple Explanation)

Cable testing checks the physical link quality and common wiring faults. Cable certification goes further by validating performance against the agreed requirement and producing a formal PASS/FAIL report per link.

A professional certification helps you achieve:

• Stable connections (fewer drops)

• Correct speeds (no hidden pair mistakes)

• Reliable PoE power delivery (CCTV, Wi-Fi, IP phones)

• Faster troubleshooting (clear fault reasons + documented mapping)

• Clean project handover and future-proof documentation

Where This Service Is Used (Best For)

• New office fit-out / structured cabling handover

• Warehouses, retail shops, clinics, restaurants, and schools in Abu Dhabi

• Troubleshooting slow LAN speeds (100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps)

• Intermittent disconnections, packet loss, VoIP call drops, and jitter

• PoE issues (Wi-Fi access points, IP cameras, IP phones) restarting or failing

• After relocation, renovation, patch panel changes, or contractor work

• Fiber uplink instability between racks/floors/buildings

What We Test & Certify

Copper Cabling (Cat6 / Cat6A / Cat7 and Cat5e if present)

We test using the agreed mode based on your needs:

• Permanent Link testing (installed cabling path)

• Channel testing (includes patch cords, if required)

We verify:

• Wiremap: open, short, reversal, split pairs

• Length indicators and fault distance guidance (where applicable)

• Performance measurements aligned to the selected requirement (examples):

- Insertion loss (attenuation)

- Return loss

- NEXT / PSNEXT (crosstalk)

Fiber Optic Links (Single-Mode / Multi-Mode)

Based on the scope and handover requirements:

• Visual inspection and cleanliness checks

• Power and loss measurements (light source + power meter)

• OTDR testing (optional) to locate breaks, bends, splices, connectors, and distance-to-event

Common Problems We Find (And Why They Happen)

• Links negotiate at lower speeds (100 Mbps instead of 1 Gbps) due to split pairs or poor terminations

• Random drops caused by unstable terminations, damaged cable, tight bends, or incorrect patching

• VoIP jitter and call drops caused by packet loss from weak cabling performance

• PoE instability caused by resistance issues, pair mistakes, or poor patching paths

• Fiber high loss caused by dirty end-faces, bends, connector issues, or poor splicing

• “Works today, fails tomorrow” behavior caused by loose terminations or cable strain inside the rack

What’s Included in Our Cable Testing & Certification Service

Site Review & Testing Scope

We confirm:

• Number of points/links and priority ports (servers, uplinks, APs, CCTV, POS)

• Copper vs fiber scope

• Test mode (Permanent Link vs Channel)

• Pass criteria and reporting format

• Labeling/mapping approach for clear handover

Certification Testing + Result Recording

• Structured testing per port/link

• PASS/FAIL result per link

• Clear failure reasons (what failed and why)

• Practical readiness checks aligned to the agreed requirement

Fault Localization + Retest Support

• Identify fault location (rack port/outlet/distance-to-event where applicable)

• Recommend the corrective action (re-termination, patch change, route/bend issue, fiber cleaning)

• Retest after minor corrective actions (when possible during the same visit)

Reporting, Documentation & Handover

• Clean documentation you can use for handover, maintenance, and audits

• Failure punch list with recommended fixes

• Optional: OTDR traces and fiber loss summary (if included in scope)

Standards & Best Practices (Client-Friendly)

We apply best-practice principles to produce reliable, repeatable results:

• Correct test mode selection based on your handover needs

• Termination quality and bend radius checks

• Consistent labeling and port mapping (rack ↔ outlet)

• Fiber cleanliness awareness to avoid false loss readings

• Professional-grade testers (Fluke Networks or equivalent, based on scope)

What’s Included vs Not Included (Scope Clarity)

Included:

• Testing plan alignment and on-site execution in Abu Dhabi

• Certification results per agreed point/link

• PASS/FAIL reporting + failure punch list

• Fault identification guidance + recommended fix

• Retest after minor corrective action (when possible)

• Basic mapping notes and handover summary

Not included unless requested (quoted separately):

• New cable pulling/adding new outlets / full re-cabling

• Civil works (ceiling access scaffolding, conduit/chasing, drilling)

• Replacement of major materials (patch panels, racks, switches, SFPs, fiber accessories)

• Large-scale remediation across many points

• After-hours downtime windows (optional)

What You Receive After Completion (Deliverables)

• Per-link PASS/FAIL results

• Failed-links punch list (fault type + recommended fix)

• Port/outlet mapping notes (as-built support)

• Management summary (tested, passed, failed, retested, remaining actions)

• Optional: OTDR traces + fiber loss/budget summary (if included)

Cable Testing & Certification Process (Step-by-Step)

Step 1 — Site Review & Testing Scope

We confirm points, priorities, test mode, pass criteria, and report format.

Step 2 — Physical Inspection & Port/Link Identification

We check rack condition, patching paths, labeling, terminations, and visible risks (bends, damage, stress).

Step 3 — Certification Testing, Fault Localization & Retest

We test each agreed link, record PASS/FAIL, identify the root cause, and retest after minor fixes when possible.

Step 4 — Reporting, Documentation & Handover

We deliver the report pack and a clear action plan for any remaining failed points.

FAQs — Cable Testing & Certification Abu Dhabi

What is the difference between cable testing and certification?

Testing checks common faults and continuity. Certification validates performance against the agreed requirement and provides formal PASS/FAIL reporting with measured results.

Should I choose Permanent Link or Channel testing?

Permanent Link is best for verifying installed infrastructure. Channel includes patch cords and is used when you want the full end-to-end path verified.

Can you troubleshoot PoE problems for CCTV and Wi-Fi?

Yes. Many PoE issues come from split pairs, resistance/termination faults, or patching problems. We identify the cabling cause and recommend corrective actions.

Do you test fiber optic links?

Yes. We can verify fiber with power/loss testing and include OTDR if you require event-based diagnostics and formal traces.

Will you fix the failed points?

Minor fixes (patching/re-termination/connector cleaning) can be done during the visit when possible. Larger remediation is quoted after findings.
