The Hobbes PoE Checker (Part# 256316) is a compact and reliable Power over Ethernet (PoE) Tester designed to detect PoE power from Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) to devices such as VoIP phones, IP surveillance cameras, and other Powered Devices (PD). This tool identifies whether the PSE is configured as a midspan (pair 45–78) or endspan (pair 12–36), and displays the output voltage and supported PoE standard (IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at).
Designed for real-time diagnostics, the PoE Checker also includes an inline test function that enables users to connect it between a PSE and PD. With two sockets that allow PoE voltage to pass through, this feature is especially useful for live testing without disrupting device connectivity—making it an ideal tool for network installers and technicians.
Whether you are setting up or maintaining PoE networks, the Hobbes PoE Checker delivers a fast, effective, and easy-to-use solution for identifying potential issues and verifying proper power delivery in the field.
