Ep. 68 | Troubleshooting Network Connectivity Problems: Testing Beyond Cable Certification

As intelligent building infrastructure continues to expand, connected devices such as security cameras, wireless access points, sensors, lighting systems, and access controls are placing increasing demands on network connectivity and power. While cable certification after installation is essential for ensuring cabling infrastructure meets industry standards, certification alone does not guarantee that the complete network will operate as expected. Additional testing after installing network equipment and end devices is critical to validating connectivity, power delivery, and overall network performance. Join Tech Talk with Steve Cowles, RCDD/NTS, and special guest Lisa Schwartz, Director of Marketing at AEM – Precision Cable Test, for an informative session exploring network connectivity troubleshooting and testing considerations beyond traditional cable certification. In this session, you'll learn about: The transition from traditional buildings to intelligent building infrastructure. How IoT devices are increasing network connectivity and power demands. The importance of cable certification after installation. Why additional testing is necessary beyond cable certification. Testing considerations after connecting network equipment and end devices. Validating network connectivity and operational performance. Identifying potential network issues through additional testing methods. Best practices for troubleshooting intelligent building network infrastructure. Earn 1 BICSI CEC Credit!
