Check your RJ-45 outlet for power using the PowerDsine PoE Tester

The Power over Ethernet (PoE) Tester, connected to an RJ-45 outlet, tests the cabling infrastructure for the presence of power, either IEEE802.3af standard-compliant or pre-standard. The PoE Tester identifies the existence and type of Power Sourcing Equipment (either Endspan or Midspan) in your network.

• Tests RJ-45 outlet for Power over Ethernet existence
• Indicates the type of power source
• Detects:
  o IEEE 802.3af midspans and switches
  o Cisco pre-standard in-line switches
  o High Power midspans
• Compact design specifically tailored for system integrators and installers
• Plug and play,simple to use

System Description

A PoE system comprises a PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment)and a PD (Powered Device).

The PSE may either be an End-span (i.e. a layer 2 Ethernet Switch with integrated PoE) or a mid-span, while the PD is a PoE-enabled terminal, such as IP phone, Wireless LAN access point and Network Security Camera.

The PoE Tester check your RJ-45 outlet for power and identify its source, Midspan or Endspan, i.e. IEEE 802.3af standard compliant Midspans/Switches and Cisco pre-standard Proprietary In-line Switches.

How to use the PoE Tester:

• Connect a standard category 5 cable with RJ-45 connectors to the PoE tester and the RJ-45 outlet (See diagram).
• Check the LED indicators on the front panel for power and source (PoE switch,Midspan or High Power Midspan).
