The NT955 has all the testing and certifying capabilities of the Validator NT950, but also includes new Active Network Tests that are designed to identify network devices such as hubs, switches, NICs, and routers on your network and verify connectivity (manual IP or via DHCP) to the internet by pinging up to seven different IP addresses simultaneously. In addition, the kit includes a set of 8 wiremap remotes.

The new Validator-NT™ Ethernet System All-in-One Network Management Tool puts the power of network test and configuration in your hand at an affordable price. Validator-NT’s patented method of uploading and downloading information about cable tests and network configuration will help you gather the necessary information to manage your network easily, while documenting changes, upgrades or new configurations. Validator-NT measures and presents fast and clear SPEED and PERFORMANCE CERTIFICATION results up to 1 gigabit. Speed certification assures the cabling will do the job it is rated to do. Network components such as switches, hubs, routers and systems will then operate at maximum efficiency. Wire maps up to 8 locations with the network remote identifiers.

The included powerful Plan-Um™ 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. Simply layout your customer’s requirements in a matter of minutes, then define cable types and runs. Test/certify each cable run. Print the results and attach them to your invoice. Completing and billing a cable installation job has never been easier.
