Tests Performed
Validator-NT performs specied 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 certied to support a data rate of 100 Megabit or
greater, which is a basic requirement for VoIP applications.
The following chart species the pre programmed tests that are
performed on specic cable types (see gure 7).

In addition, the installer can dene custom or nonstandard cable type test
denitions. Once a Custom Cable Denition is created, you can create a
Template File to store this information and retrieve it as needed.
