Subject: [AFMUG] Gigabit "cable validator" which validates *through* aGigabit
PoE Injector?
Ok, everyone.....
I'm looking for one or more Gigabit Ethernet testers to test product with which
will actually test (signal-wise) a gigabit link for spec conformance.... The
catch? It has to work with a gigabit injector in the middle, since it's really
about testing the injector's performance instead of a cable.
Most of the gigabit cable validators I've seen will completely refuse to run
the signal validation tests on a cable which doesn't pass electrical
continuity. Unfortunately, once you insert a gigabit injector the cable
electrically looks like all 4 pairs are shorted, and there isn't any continuity
to the far end.
Does anyone have a CAT5 cable tester which works *through* a PoE? Or are
willing to test theirs on a (unpowered) injector to see what happens?
