I guess it depends on what you mean by abuse.

I still have my two that I got in their original Indiegogo funding 
campaign, but I don't use them constantly.

Ah, apparently it is for non-salaried employees as long as it does not
reduce their salary below minimum wage.

Yes, I haven't personally tested the accuracy but that's one of my

The old version worked well, but make sure to get a PoE voltage 
detector dongle and let the techs know that they must always use it - 
if the tester comes back non-functional due to a short on the PoE 
pairs they may personally need to pay for a new one.
