NT950 Validatortm
Network & Cabling Certifier
 
 
The NT950 Validatortm Network/Cabling Certifier measures until Cat 6 and presents fast and clear SPEED and PERFORMANCE to 1 gigabit. This can be done in 4 steps. First a map of building which all connections are made. The NT950 measures all the connections and the measurement data will be stored using a flash card of the unit. And all data will be read on the computer using the software. These are the wiring order, split pairs, open ends, shorts and miswires, length and distance to short circuits and open ends, NEXT, return loss, attenuation, channel response, Signal to Noise Ratio, PSACR, skew and BERT-test. The Plan-Umtm software ties together all the different cable criteria that are found in complex voice/data/video installations and presents concise information in printed reports, while storing data for future use. This instrument measure the voltage by PoE, for example by VoIP telephones. The NT950 test interconnect specifications by TIA 568 and 570 wirings. The NT950 has a graphical screen so that all measurements are clear to read and easy to use.
