IDEAL Networks PoE Pro [R158004] Data Cable and Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Verifier

The IDEAL Networks PoE Pro Data Cable and Power over Ethernet Verifier eliminates guesswork when installing, maintaining and troubleshooting networks where PoE is deployed. Previously, technicians had to understand all of the various standards, device power outputs, and cable lengths to be sure that a device would operate successfully. The PoE Pro identifies the Class of the PoE source and power available to a PoE device regardless of cable length, cable quality or other factors, and provides a clear pass/fail result to IEEE 802.3af/at/bt standards.

Do you have enough power at the device location?
PoE Pro displays the maximum power available at the device location including the maximum watts, Class (0-8), Voltage, Type (af/at/bt) and 2/4 pair operation. Some switches or injectors may provide power that exceeds their IEEE Class rating. The PoE Pro can test this ability with its extended power test. Simply press the network button for 3 seconds and the PoE PRO will increase power demand up to a maximum of 90 watts.

What type of Power Sourcing Equipment is in use?
Reduce troubleshooting time by identifying the type of PoE equipment in use. End-point PoE switches are in the equipment room vs mid-span injectors can be anywhere along the cable. This is achieved by displaying which twisted pairs have power. Power on pairs 1/2, 3/6 indicates a PoE switch, while power on pairs 4/5, 7/8 indicates a mid-span injector.

Does the PoE switch provide enough power?
Test and verify PoE switches and injectors by connecting directly to them and displaying the maximum power, Type (af/at/bt), Class (0-8) and Voltage.
