Building on the capabilities of the JDSU Validator and Validator-NT, the JDSU
ValidatorPRO series of Ethernet Network Management Tools oers a complete
solution to test copper and ber Ethernet cables. e ValidatorPRO Ethernet speed
certier with integrated optical power meter and accompanying Plan-Um cable
management soware delivers the power to test both copper and ber cabling,
determine if cables can support Gigabit Ethernet, and perform troubleshooting for
cable installations. e ValidatorPRO performs all tests oered 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 capabilities 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
specied cable runs at dened data rates to check for errors at the maximum
throughput of the link. e 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. e 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.

ValidatorPRO and ValidatorPRO-NT Ethernet Network Management Tools
e ValidatorPRO includes an integrated optical power meter that
measures optical power at 850/1300/1310/1490/1550 nm on multimode or single-mode ber to address an increasing number of
Ethernet networks that now include optical links.
e ValidatorPRO-NT version 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), discovery and display essential information regarding functionality and conguration of 802.11 b/g/n
networks.

Shows available wireless networks and relevant information
Plan-Um Cabling Installation and Planning Software
ValidatorPRO includes the updated powerful Plan-Um planning and reporting soware used to plan network architectures, organize cable information, estimate cable length requirements, and document test results. Plan-Um helps set
up each job, denes the scope of the job, aids in testing cable runs, and produces reports for the installer and customer.
e Network Tools feature provides a quick view of the network architecture and lets users document moves, adds, and
changes.
Used in conjunction with Plan-Um, ValidatorPRO provides condence in the physical properties of cable runs and the
overall capability of the network.
