TRENDnet's Inline PoE Tester, model TC-NTP1, is a comprehensive PoE cable tester for network professionals. This compact tool accurately tests PoE++, PoE+, PoE, and passive PoE technologies. The TC-NTP1 PoE cable tester works on active connections, and is designed to sit inline between the PoE source and PoE device. The PoE cable tester then displays real-time PoE information such as wattage, voltage, and amperage for that connection.

Testing Modes
The TC-NTP1 has three testing functions: T-mode (for testing ports on your PSE device to determine the PoE switch's or injector's PoE type, and voltage output); N-mode (for non-standard passive PoE devices); and I-mode (for PoE inline testing, displaying voltage, amperage, and wattage of the connected PD).

Step Button
The convenient step button on the PoE cable tester allows users to cycle through voltage, amperage, and wattage readouts. It also allows users to lock the display to a specific readout (e.g. wattage) for real-time monitoring.
