TestPro CV100
User Manual
Select [Project] on the home screen to choose an active
test project.
Select [Edit test profile] to update the current test profile.
In the validation profile, [Limit] allows you to choose the
minimum SNR required for different network speeds
(note: keep the SNR limit at 0 dB if in doubt. If SNR
is positive, then the corresponding network speed is
functioning properly for the cable under test).
In this example, the limit is set at 10G -> 2dB (which
means TestPro will fail cables having less than a 2dB
margin for 10GBASE-T). Press to go back to the
main menu.

d. Validation Test Options
i: Multi-Gig Validation
This function allows for Multi-Gigabit link validation and
PoE characterization. It will quickly confirm the suitability
of a cabling link to support 2.5Gbps, 5Gbps, and 10Gbps
data rates, and validate PoE performances up to the
highest power level specifications of 90W.
To validate support for 2.5Gbps/5Gbps/10Gbps link
speeds, the TestPro needs to be connected via the
Ethernet cable under test to a router, switch, PoE or any
network enabled device.
Connect the first end of the cable to-be validated to
the Multi-Gig (2.5G/5G/10G/PoE) port of the AD-
TestPro adapter, attached to the TestPro unit.
Connect the second end of the cable to a network
device i.e., network switch/router.
