POE Power Meter--PPM-100

POE Power Meter--PPM-100

Description:

PPM-100 is a handheld power tester for the applications of Power over Ethernet (PoE). It can perform the on-site test and measurement of the running voltage and the supplying power available for the PoE powered device (PD) at the end of Ethernet cable terminal in any length.

In general, a PoE Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) provides the Power over Ethernet to the PD for a nominal distance of 100 meters. In practice, however, the power from PSE may fail to meet the requirement of the remote PD due to unpredictable clues such as the cabling length, the wire connection in RJ-45 connector, and the quality of network cable.

PPM-100 provides for field engineer a convenient on- site tester to verify PoE, measure the voltage, and examine the maximum power from PSE to the PD at the end point of the Ethernet cable.

Powered by replaceable and rechargeable battery, the portable PPM-100 allows the technical personnel to test terminal for PD at any locations. With 3-digit LED display, it shows the PoE status and the maximum power results of PSE. With built-in Terminal Block connectors, PPM-100 is able to clamp and hold the bare wires of network cable for test before clamping into the RJ-45 connector. Pass/Fail LED indicators may inform technician the results instantly.

PPM-100 is truly the best handy tool for the installation of PD device. The test procedures shall successfully guarantee the PoE power provision to PD device.

Features:

‧ Measurement of power status from PSE to PD in PoE network
