MILPITAS, Calif. -- JDSU today introduced the ValidatorPROTM and ValidatorPRO-NTTM test instruments, the first single-solution handheld testers to allow enterprise network installers to speed certify Ethernet cabling, perform optical power measurements, and verify connectivity of WiFI networks. Both new ValidatorPRO offerings perform Ethernet speed certification and include an optical power meter, and ValidatorPRO-NT adds PoE testing and wireless 802.11b/g/n PoE testing features. ValidatorPRO/PRO-NT™ is the complete solution to economically ensure performance of copper, fiber, and Wireless LAN installations.

ValidatorPRO supports comprehensive test capability in increasingly complex networks that must now support voice, data, and video applications over copper, fiber or wireless LANs. It reduces associated test and measurement costs because it enables installers and technicians to test copper cabling to desktops, check fiber installations in network rooms, and analyze wireless networks for mobile users—all with one easy-to-use tool.

“JDSU designed the Validator to address the required installation testing and speed certification needs for today’s LAN Ethernet networks,” said Jim Nerschook, vice president and general manager in JDSU’s Communications Test and Measurement business segment. “Using the JDSU ValidatorPRO, installers can be assured cable runs support Gigabit Ethernet over copper and also can test fiber cabling, meeting the comprehensive challenge of cable testing in enterprise and home networks.”
