Equipment Requirements
(This apply's to our hands-on courses only)

List of Equipment
- Tools crimper, punch down, wire stripper
- Part splicescrimp connectors, RJ4845 (solid stranded versions)
- Cable Cat 5E 6A cable- test equipment CAT567 Testers, DMM, TDR, optical light sourcepower meter (as applicable per customer needs)

This course focuses on Catalog -6A (5-6-7), but we can also tailor the course to cover coax, fiber, general splicing for any wire types, etc. In short, whatever media types and parts that your company normally uses, we would want to have those materials available for class.

BTS always provides equipment to have a very successful Hands-On course. BTS also encourages all attendees to bring their own equipment to the course. This will provide attendees the opportunity to incorporate their own gear into the labs and gain valuable training using their specific equipment.
