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.

Power Panel Inline Model
The Power Panel INLINE model (POE1000IL) has all of the features of the STANDARD model plus one huge addition: Because the INLINE version has 2 RJ45 jacks instead of 1, you can connect inline between 2 devices, passing the PoE power through to the VoIP phone or camera. Not only is the phone, camera or access point ON during testing, you can also measure the power draw of the device (in watts). It’s a very powerful feature that makes the INLINE model worth the extra cost.

ADD TONE:If you would like to add the ability to locate wires using tones, move up to the Power Panel TONE STAR model. We have taken the INLINE version and added a full featured, filtered probe complete with ultrabright LED lighted tip.
