Industry’s First Certified Tester Simplifies PoE Installations by Displaying PoE, Connection, and Cabling Properties.

Today, Fluke Networks announced the MicroScanner PoE is the first field tester to be certified for IEEE 802.3™ Power over Ethernet (PoE) interoperability by successfully completing the Ethernet Alliance Gen2 PoE Certified program test plan.  The MicroScanner PoE speeds the installation and troubleshooting of PoE devices including those supporting the new high-power IEEE-802.3bt™ standard.  The product is priced within reach of every technician.

“The rigorous test regimen of the Ethernet Alliance PoE Certification validates that PoE devices strictly adhere to IEEE PoE standards,” stated Peter Jones, chair of the Ethernet Alliance.  “Customers who purchase Ethernet Alliance PoE Certified products can expect effortless integration and operation as a result.”

“As a member of the Ethernet Alliance’s Gen 2 PoE contributing group, we’ve been able to work with leading designers and suppliers of PoE equipment”, stated Theo Brillhart, Staff Engineer at Fluke Networks and Ethernet Alliance member.  “As a result, we’ve been able to ensure that the MicroScanner PoE can test and troubleshoot a wide variety of both standards-compliant and non-compliant sources.”

PoE provides substantial cost, efficiency and flexibility benefits, however, the term “PoE” is not trademarked, resulting in a wide variety of standardized and somewhat-standardized implementations that are not always interoperable.  The Ethernet Alliance certification program is designed to help end this confusion. Power levels and requirements are designated by a number from one to eight indicating the amount (or “class”) of power sourced or required. When connected to Ethernet Alliance Certified Power Sourcing Equipment, the MicroScanner PoE will display the maximum power class available, which can then be compared to power required as indicated by the logo on the Powered Device.

MicroScanner PoE는 또한 PoE 및 비-PoE 장치를 설치하는 기술자를 위한 완전한 도구 세트를 제공합니다. 케이블 와이어매핑, 내장 토너, 결함까지의 거리 표시기는 신속하게 케이블링 문제를 추적해 찾아낼 수 있습니다. 활성 스위치 포트에 연결되면, 장치는 최대 10Gbps까지의 포트 속도를 표시하여, 느린 액세스 포인트의 문제해결에 특히 유용합니다. 케이블 식별기는 어느 케이블이 어디로 가는지를 추적하는 데 사용할 수 있습니다.
