We have a Fluke DSX-5000 and a JDSU NT-955. They both provide the exact same results. If a tester provides BERT testing, skew rate, crosstalk and distance to fault, it pretty much is certifying the cable. I know, some people will jump all over that comment, but, I have tested several cable certifiers and they all do the same tests and provide tracable results.

We also have a sweep generator and an oscilloscope and I can find the faults in ANY cable certifier that they miss. So...on average, if your tester is providing tracable results, use it.

I just purchased a T3 Innovations NC-950 AR network tester and cable certifier. I think it's really cool. I have been comparison testing for a few days and this thing is slick. Has anyone else had any experience with it?
