FAQ: What is the difference between Level 1 and Level 2 and when do
I use it? Level 1 certifi cation tests for length, opens, shorts, split pairs
(including distance to the fault) along with propagation delay, skew,
NEXT, FEXT, and Cable Category measurements. Level 1 testing uses
simulated digital signals to test the cable. Level 2 adds to the testing
with the use of real live data from a NIC, hub, or switch. Use Level 1
for new cable installations or anytime a LAN device (hub, switch, PC)
is not available.

Real World Certifi cation Level 2 adds to the battery of tests conducted
in Level 1 by testing the cable with real live data. The source of this data
can be any hub, switch or PC. Note: The screen (above) reminds you
that the best source of data is a gigabit device. A gigabit device drives
the cable with data up to a gigabit (1000 MB) on all 4 pairs.
Connect the port to the cable and press to continue with Level 2.
