Building on the capabilities of the JDSU Validator and Validator-NT, the JDSU
ValidatorPRO series of Ethernet Network Management Tools offers a complete
solution to test copper and fiber Ethernet cables. The ValidatorPRO Ethernet speed
certifier with integrated optical power meter and accompanying Plan-Um cable
management software delivers the power to test both copper and fiber cabling,
determine if cables can support Gigabit Ethernet, and perform troubleshooting for
cable installations. The ValidatorPRO performs all tests offered by the Validator and
Validator-NT, including speed certifying the data-carrying capabilities of copper
Ethernet network cables up to 1 Gb/s by testing for noise in the network, detecting
faults in the cabling wiring, and ensuring that cables can support the speed capabili-
ties of active equipment.
To certify Ethernet speed performance of cable runs, the ValidatorPRO series of
handheld testers conducts bit error rate (BER) tests by sending data packets down
specified cable runs at defined data rates to check for errors at the maximum
throughput of the link. The ValidatorPRO also reports on signal quality that can
impact high-speed data transmission by measuring signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Skew measurements provide the signal time delay between pairs that can impact
Ethernet data transmission. The ValidatorPRO also provides continuity testing
that detects opens, shorts, miswires, split pairs, reversals, and high-resistance faults
while accurately measuring distance to faults and total cable length.
