In a word…… YES!
However, some electricians and telephone engineers have had basic
training in network cabling … but they are few and far between.
If you are unsure, discuss the cabling performance and IEEE-TIA
compliance or network speeds and cross talk, attenuation and return
loss with them. Find out which tester they use and the frequency
range it scans at and whether it is Cat5e or Cat6 compliant (Bear
in mind that the hardware outlay for a good network tester should
be around £3,500). Are all the components they use balanced at the
specified frequencies? Also find out who supplies their cable and
components and whether they will support the installation and a
manufacturer's 15 year warranty.
The rule of thumb on this one is BUYER BEWARE. Ask a lot of probing
questions before committing yourself to an installer. A professional
installation company will find the time to answer all your questions.
