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).

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.
