AEM introduced the Network Service Assistant with Certi-Lite, a new category of hybrid tester that bridges the gap in existing test equipment between network connectivity and standards-based cable testing.

With NSA Certi-Lite, network owners no longer have to choose between wire testers for basic cable continuity, a network tester to qualify real-world multi-gig and network connectivity testing, or a cable certifier for those times when a deeper-dive test on cabling is required.

The NSA provides these capabilities and more - fulfilling a level of testing that AEM calls Qualification+; more than qualification testing with capabilities of certification testing.

To meet the evolving needs of today's IT shops, AEM took an entirely new approach to finding a solution that meets all their needs in a single tester, effectively bridging the gap between verification, qualification and certification with the new category of Certification+.

NSA performs single-ended cable testing and comes with a small passive termination plug called NSA Remote, which helps reduce the overall cost of the test equipment while providing an ANSI/TIA 1152-A compliant cable test.
