The ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu Ethernet Network Management
Tool offers a solution to test copper-based Ethernet
networks. The ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu performs speed
certification to test the data-carrying capabilities of electrical
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 are able to support the speed
capabilities of active equipment.
To certify Ethernet speed performance of copper cable runs,
the ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu handheld tester 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-NT, Cu
also reports on signal quality that can impact high-speed
data transmission by measuring signal-to-noise ratio (SNR).
Skew measurements report on the signal time delay
between pairs that can impact Ethernet data transmission.
The ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu 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.
The ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu includes a comprehensive set of
features for testing a network’s active network capabilities:
measure Power over Ethernet (PoE) to ensure the correct
power is available on the correct pins, use port discovery to
ensure the correct speed and duplex capability are available;
connect at gigabit Ethernet and run ping tests to verify
connectivity to IP hosts; discover network devices using
Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP) or Link Layer Discovery
Protocol (LLDP),
The ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu solution includes the powerful
Plan-Um® planning and reporting software for planning
network architectures and organizing cable information and
test results. Plan-Um helps set up each job, defines scope of
the job, aids in testing cable runs, and produces reports for

the installer and customer. The Network Tools feature
provides a quick way to see the network architecture and a
way to document moves, adds, and changes.
It is strongly recommended that ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu units
be registered at www.jdsu.com/know-register. Once
registered, updated firmware and Plan-Um software can be
downloaded from the Validator Resource Center.

1.1 ValidatorPRO-NT, Cu Capability
Conducts Bit Error Rate (BER) testing to speed certify
Ethernet data transmission speed up to 1000BASE-T
(1 Gb/s)
Measures Signal-to-Noise Ratio and Skew to uncover
impairments to electrical Ethernet data transmission
Tests for opens, shorts, split pairs, miswires, and
reversals and measures distance to opens and
shorts—supports all copper network, telco, and coax
cables
Supports sets of 20 ID-only remote identifiers:TP311
(coax), TP312 (RJ45), TP314 (RJ11) and KP420
(master kit)
Identifies cable termination on active Ethernet ports
with hub flash
Measures Power over Ethernet (PoE) voltage and
current
Performs port discovery to detect advertised Ethernet
speed and displays capabilities of network devices
Pings network devices to verify connectivity to active
equipment
Includes Plan-Um® software to create network layout,
document test results, show network topology, and
record moves, adds, and changes
Used in conjunction with Plan-Um, ValidatorPRO-NT,
Cu provides confidence in the physical properties of
cable runs and the overall capability of the network.
