How to Test and Maintain Network Cables

To ensure the reliability and performance of network cables, regular testing and maintenance is required. The following steps can be taken:

• Check for physical damage: Regular visual inspection can help identify any physical damage to the cable or connector.
• Test for continuity: Use a cable tester to check for continuity and ensure that all wires are properly connected.
• Measure signal strength: Use a signal strength meter to measure the signal strength and identify any signal loss or interference.
• Replace damaged cables: If a cable is found to be damaged or not functioning properly, it should be replaced with a new one.

With proper maintenance, network cables can provide reliable and high-performance connectivity for years.
