Testing Cable Links Smart Buildings

Engineering of autonomous system of smart building

Testing cable links in smart buildings is time-consuming, and leading cable manufacturers specify PoE testing and certification. OSA and Trend Networks solve this issue with the LanTEK IV-S copper and fibre data cable certifier.

Smart buildings are becoming the new norm and Australia’s solid commitment to sustainability is at the forefront of this transformative new wave of working and living. These intelligent structures are not just bricks and mortar; they ensure occupants interact seamlessly with their surroundings, creating a blend of comfort, efficiency and sustainability.

At the heart of smart buildings is the integration of cutting-edge technology that not only enhances the functionality of the structures but also caters to the evolving needs of the people who inhabit them.

One of the key features driving the rise of smart buildings in Australia is the Internet of Things (IoT). These buildings gather and analyse data through interconnected devices and sensors to optimise energy consumption, security, and overall functionality. For instance, smart thermostats learn occupants’ habits and adjust temperature settings accordingly, maximising energy efficiency without compromising comfort.

The growth of Smart Building has seen an increase in devices powered via the Network cable Power Over Ethernet (PoE)

Leading cable manufacturers now specify the addition of PoE testing with Certification of Cable links to ensure the total system and supply power will operate.

Resistance unbalanced testing involves testing each pair and pair to pair against the latest PoE 2pr and 4pr BT standard supporting up to 90W PoE.

However, this test can take time and test selection, and modern standards can be complicated.
