From: Forrest Christian (List Account) Sent: Saturday, February 13, 2016 7:02 AM To: af 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? -- Forrest Christian CEO, PacketFlux Technologies, Inc.
