Test-Um NT955 Series
Tests Performed 

Validator-NT performs specified tests that produce PASS or FAIL results 

on a wide range of standard cables. In addition, a Bit Error Rate Test  

(BERT) is performed to determine the actual speed capabilities of CAT 

5, CAT 5E, and CAT 6 network cables. A green check mark with VoIP   

indicates the cable is certified to support a data rate of 100 Megabit or 

greater, which is a basic requirement for VoIP applications.

The following chart specifies the pre programmed tests that are 

performed on specific cable types (see figure 7). 

Figure 7. Pre programmed Auto Tests for Specific Cable Types 

 

In addition, the installer can define custom or nonstandard cable type test 

definitions.  Once a Custom Cable Definition is created, you can create a 

Template File to store this information and retrieve it as needed.
