Cables, Connectivity, Testing & Verification17th October
2022
The
need for a proper cabling infrastructure is essential in any custom installation
project. Most homes provide little of the wiring needed for true system
integration.
The
first half of this workshop will show attendees the various cables and
connectors used in integrated residential systems and demonstrate how to build a
future-ready wiring environment. Attendees will learn how to terminate, test,
and certify the wiring installation.
With
a wide range of technologies, equipment and signal types in play, it’s normal to
expect a few hiccups during installation time, but it is imperative that smart
home installers know how to test, locate problems, and rectify faults in an
efficient manner. The second half of this course prepares installers for these
situations and teaches a wide variety of test techniques and troubleshooting
methodologies. This is an interactive workshop with practical
exercises using a range of tools, test and certification equipment, giving
attendees the vital hands-on experience required to advance their skill set and
industry knowledge.
