Test-Um NT955 Series
Introduction  
The Validator-NT (NT955) Certifier uses Speed and Performance 
criteria to test and certify Ethernet network cables against IEEE802.3 
specifications up to 1 Gigabit.  It also tests critical noise and delay 
(Skew) measurements to assure that the respective cable runs will 
perform to their maximum capability.  Breakthrough technology has made 
Speed and Performance Certification possible. It is the most up to 
date way of seeing the physical condition of the wiring and how a specific 
cable run will handle data flow on Ethernet speeds, 10 Megabit, 100 
Megabit and Gigabit.
In addition to its state of the art 21
st
 Century cable certification 
technology, Validator-NT boasts a full selection of active network features 
designed to report cable performance and verify connectivity to network 
devices. These features include the ability to negotiate with network 
components and discover both the speed and configuration of connected 
equipment.
