Softing IT Networks Extends CableMaster Series of Ethernet Cable Testers to Include CableMaster PoE

Softing IT Networks, the innovation leader of Ethernet cable certification, speed performance testing and infrastructure testing, has extended its tester portfolio to include CableMaster PoE, a dedicated power over Ethernet (PoE) cable tester.

CableMaster PoE extends the CableMaster Series, which includes CableMaster FO fiber optic power meter, CableMaster 210 basic wiremapper and CableMaster VFL fiber visual fault locator. As toolbox testers, the CableMaster Series is designed to provide the basic Ethernet cable testers all technicians should have on their truck or in their toolbox.

CableMaster PoE uniquely provides load testing for PoE power sources. This handy Ethernet cable tester includes wiremaps, integrated length measurement, a tone generator and PoE identification. It also tests PoE up to Class 8 or 90 watts (PoE++) and tests PoE load, briefly applying a load to the port of the PoE power source to determine if the source is powered. Another unique feature is the ability to supply power to the end device. With a 3.5-inch color screen and graphical user interface, CableMaster PoE delivers easy-to-understand test results in real time, enabling efficient and thorough PoE testing.

“It’s uncommon for a PoE tester in this price range to apply a load to a PoE power source,” says Deane Horn, Director of Marketing at Softing IT Networks. “If you are testing PoE for your office, customers or industrial facility, you want to be thorough and confident. Thanks to its compact design and wide range of functions, CableMaster PoE is the ideal tool for technicians and installers to quickly and easily identify and resolve PoE problems.”

Areas of application for Softing’s CableMaster Series include verifying or troubleshooting the installation of PoE cabling, wireless access points, PoE switches, IP phones and IP cameras. Available tests include PoE load and PoE Class, as well as wiremap tests of Ethernet cables for opens, shorts, reversed wires and split pairs. CableMaster PoE can also locate ports using the built-in tone generator and the optionally available tone wand.
