POWER PANEL INLINE AND POWER PANEL TONE STAR MODELS
CAT5/6 DVM and Network/PoE Tester
Why do you need this tester?
Understanding what data and power is on a CAT5/6 cable is becoming increasingly important as cables are becoming crowded with a wide variety of data devices and power sources. In fact, knowing what is on a cable before plugging in can protect valuable equipment and speed up new installations. The Power Panel CAT5/6 DVM is the right tool at the right time because, once connected, it goes to work scanning each pin on a connector and displaying both the activity and the pair location. Whether it be network devices, phones or Power over Ethernet, all is displayed. And, if you are a VoIP phone of IP camera installer, you will find the Power Panel CAT5/6 DVM particularly useful because you will know if there is power and a data pair available for your equipment…. exactly what you need to make you device operate.
4 POWER PANEL DVM MODELS TO CHOOSE FROM!
Standard unit (P/N POE1000): Packed with features for sensing what is on a CAT5/6 cable (switches, phones, PoE power) plus interacts with these devices.
DSL unit (P/N POE1000DSL): All of the features of the Standard unit plus the ability to sense DSL tones.
Inline unit (P/N POE1000IL): The most popular Power Panel CAT5/6 DVM model has all of the features of the Standard unit plus the ability to connect between 2 devices (“inline”). Inline connections allow passing PoE power to the device monitoring the device while it is ON. Plus the inline Power Panel measures and displays power draw (in watts).
Tone Star unit (P/N POE1000ILT): All of the features of the inline unit (above) plus we add our full featured, filtered probe. The probe is used as a wire locator to audibly trace the tone placed on the wires by the Power Panel main unit. It features a tone button, volume control, ultrabright LED lighted tip, and 2 status LEDs: One to visually identify the tone and the other to warn you that there is 60hz present in the area. The probe is filtered to minimize fluorescent hum.
FEATURES
Detects network devices, phones and power (PoE)
- Network devices: Indicates advertised speed and duplex and pairs
- Phones: Indicates voltage amplitude and pairs
- Power (PoE): Indicates voltage amplitude (discovery and full) and pairs (end or mid span)
Interacts with switches and PoE power systems
- Force link button: Sends link pulses to prompt communication
- Test PoE button: Simulates a VoIP phone or camera and prompts PoE
Other models available:
- POE1000DSL: All of the POE1000 features plus senses DSL tone.
- POE1000IL: All of the features of the POE1000 plus has Inline capability. Inline capability allows connection between 2 devices and thus passes power through to the VoIP phone or camera and measures power (in watts).
- POE1000ILT: All of the features of the POE1000IL plus a full featured Toner Probe.
Inline Unit Features
PN: POE1000IL
All the features of the Standard model plus:
POWER PASS THRU:
- Two jacks allow PoE power to be passed to the PoE device so it can be tested.
POWER MEASUREMENT:
- Placed INLINE between two devices, the power draw of the device can be measured in watts. Too much power draw is the number one reason for IP/PoE network failure.
