Eliminate callbacks and
disputes with CableIQ

Residential qualification testing
a
nd the TIA-570B standard
Residential cabling networks are
unique. The need to support
voice, data, audio/video, and
security applications means that
a wider range of cabling media is
required. At the same time, con-
tinuing adoption and convergence
of new technologies in the home
is giving rise to increased require-
ments for speed and reliability.
Installing and testing of residen-
tial cabling systems thus requires
unique methods and tools. The
new TIA-570B standard for
residential qualification testing
addresses these unique needs.
This standard was created to
provide a guideline for installing
and testing all types of residential
cabling media, and works to
improve the quality of installa-
tions, and protect the reputations
of installers.
Qualification testing ensures that
c
abling systems will perform reliably
As voice, data, and video technologies
c
ontinue to converge onto one cabling
infrastructure, residential builders and
homeowners increasingly need assurance
that structured wiring systems will support
today’s applications. CableIQ’s qualification
test confirms what speeds and technolo-
gies any residential cabling systems will
support. In just four seconds, it allows
installers to see whether existing or newly-
installed cabling will support Voice, VoIP,
10/100/1000 Ethernet, or CATV.
Qualification testing can virtually
e
liminate callbacks and disputes
Callbacks are expensive. Without test
documentation, installers are unfairly
burdened with the responsibility for all
callbacks and claims, whether cabling-
related or otherwise, and even for prob-
lems caused by other subcontractors.
Before CableIQ, residential installers had
no economical way to document residential
cabling installations. Qualification testing
with CableIQ gives installers an economical
and objective way to prove the quality of
cabling systems upon installation, virtually
eliminating callbacks and workmanship
disputes.
