Viavi Certifier10G NGC-500-6A Copper Cable Kit
The VIAVI Certifier10G NGC-500 is a handheld cable certification system designed for installers and network technicians who need to verify copper cabling after installation. It tests permanent links and channels up to Category 6A/Class EA, helping confirm that a cable run meets the requirements for high-speed network service before it is put into use.
The system uses a local and a remote unit, allowing technicians to view test information and control work from either end of a link. Its guided setup and automatic adapter recognition help select the appropriate test limits for a permanent link or channel. When a cable fails, digital fault-finding tools help identify the location and likely cause so the technician can make a targeted repair.
Built for jobs with many cable runs, the Certifier10G performs a Category 6A certification test in as little as nine seconds. Results can be saved and transferred for documentation, while VIAVI’s J-Reporter software helps organize records, add labels, and create professional reports for customers or project files.
The NGC-500 is a practical choice for certifying copper cabling in offices, data centers, and other structured network installations. It focuses on copper testing through Category 6A fiber certification requires a different instrument. Its combination of fast testing, fault information, and clear reporting helps teams complete installations with documented proof of performance.
