The Test-Um Validator network/cabling certifier measures and presents fast, clear speed and performance results up to 1 gigabit. Ideal for Network Installers, Network Engineers or general network troubleshooting, speed certification assures the cabling will do the job it is rated to do, so that network components such as switches, hubs, routers and systems will operate at maximum efficiency.

Powerful 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 client's requirements, 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 project has never been easier.

Q: A fault has developed with the unit whereby when once it has been powered-up we cannot get beyond the welcome screen. Are you able to provide guidance?

Yes. We are happy to help. Do you know where and when you bought the unit? The Test-Um Validator is supplied with a one year warranty so your unit may well still under warranty.If the Validator is out of warranty, we can arrange for a repair.
