Assuring Infrastructure Readiness in Smart Building Technologies

In this presentation, Steve Cowles, RCDD, NTS, Product and Technical Services Manager, discusses the critical aspects of testing infrastructure in smart buildings. You will learn the importance of comprehensive cable testing beyond traditional certification, such as checking dc resistance unbalance, performing Power over Ethernet (PoE) load tests, and verifying signal-to-noise ratios. The presentation highlights how modern buildings are integrating multiple systems on to a single IP network, which requires more sophisticated testing methods. Cowles noted that proper testing protects installers, ensures network performance, and helps validate the infrastructure's ability to support emerging technologies like single pair Ethernet and multi-gigabit networks.
