“As a member of the Ethernet Alliance Generation 2 PoE Certification Contribution Group, we have been able to work with leading PoE equipment designers and vendors,” stated Theo Brillhart, Fluke Networks Personnel Engineer and Member of the Ethernet Alliance. "As a result, we have been able to ensure that the MicroScanner PoE can check and troubleshoot a wide variety of compliant and non-compliant sources."
PoE provides significant advantages in terms of cost, efficiency, and flexibility; however, the term “PoE” is not registered as a trademark, resulting in a wide variety of standardized implementations, in whole or in part, that are not always interoperable. The Ethernet Alliance certification program is designed to put an end to this uncertainty. Power levels and requirements are designated by a number from one to eight that indicates the amount (or “class”) of power supplied or required. When connected to Ethernet Alliance certified power supply equipment, the MicroScanner PoE will display the maximum available power class, which can then be compared to the power required by the logo on the powered device.
