The Real World Certifi er has the unique ability to test both cables
constructed of stranded wire (commonly called "patch" cables) and solid
core wire. Scroll to select the cable and press SELECT. How to tell the
difference: If the cable is installed in a wall, it is almost certainly a solid
core wire. Preassembled cable with end fi ttings already attached is
usually stranded cable. Also, stranded cable is more fl exible than solid
wire. If you bend the cable and it does not attempt to spring back to its
original shape it is most likely solid cable. Note: The minimum length
of each cable type is shown on the screen for RW CERTIFY TESTS. If
your cable is shorter than this, use the BASIC CABLE TEST. Once the
selection is made, cable testing will automatically commence.
