Prüfung

Certified Network Cabling Design Professional (CNCDP^®)

The exam is a 60-minute closed book exam, with 40 multiple-choice questions. The candidate requires a minimum of 27 correct answers to pass the exam.

There is no specific prerequisite for the CNCDP^® course. However, participants who already have at least one or two years’ experience in a IT, data centre or facilities environment may be best suited. Those with no experience just yet are most welcome to participate.

The primary audience for this course is any IT, facilities or data centre professional, consultant and/or those who work in network cabling system design, implementation and operation. 

After completion of the course the participant will be able to:

• Understand the various standards for network cabling systems, the models and how to apply these to the network design.
• Design the user cabling and patching system for commercial buildings.
• Design the network cabling and patching system for data centres.
• Design the backbones for both indoor and outdoor cabling.
• Select the proper cabling containment/ pathways for network installations.
• Apply the correct installation practices and avoid common mistakes.
• Define the right testing criteria and methods for copper and fiber systems
