Test-Um NT955 Series
Tests Performed
Validator-NT performs specied 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 certied to support a data rate of 100 Megabit or
greater, which is a basic requirement for VoIP applications.
The following chart species the pre programmed tests that are
performed on specic cable types (see gure 7).

In addition, the installer can dene custom or nonstandard cable type test
denitions. Once a Custom Cable Denition is created, you can create a
Template File to store this information and retrieve it as needed.
