Yep, I was also wanting to know the same. Just bought a new Netgear POE switch for 7 new POE cameras (and ethernet around the house whilst I was at it). I just wish I had come across this yesterday before I said "Oh well, let's see what happens" 🙂 I can now keep my old switch with my home and work computers with only 1 trailing cable whilst I set up all other stuff and wait for the new data points in the office and move everything over to the data rack.
That sounds like it'll be a sweet setup (I have 7 PoE cameras streaming to my NAS, it works out great). Glad you liked the video and good luck with your networking 🙂
Ooo good question, unfortunately I don't know but I'd guess that the answer is "it depends". A good RJ45 tester should definitely handle it fine - some even have PoE testing functions, after all. But a cheap RJ45 tester? Hard to say sorry - I would double check the manual.
@@joemccarthy2109 that's a great tester, nope definitely not a cheap one 🙂 So that model does have a voltage checker, and the manual (page 4 of the PDF) says it checks for RJ45 voltage before performing any tests. So it sounds like it would be fine connecting to an active PoE port, based on the PDF I just checked out.
Can you please check page 3 letter d my all problem to begin with it’s because that note the rj45 voltage check is actually on the side of that tester but the hublink function is on the regular rj45 port on the tester and i would really like to figure it out after a month of searching
What do they mean by saying active port according to what you have said you really should have connected it into an active port and not passive one but they say the opposite
Most poe switches auto sense , unless its passive poe like those 24v gen1 unifi switches where u can turn the power on on the switch port and leave it in the on position

Thank you. Great video.
Glad you liked it! 🙂
Can you connect a rj45 tester into active port on poe switch

Actually if it can help i have the klein tools scout pro 3 i really hope it is not on the cheap rj45 tester category if you familiar with the item

if i use an non-poe switch with the splitter to connect to a pd, if i replaced this PD with another non poe equipment, will a problem happen?
I think it should be fine. If I'm understanding correctly, just the data 'part' would be used here - the power would not be 'used'.
Thanks.... I always wondered
No worries 👍

This is a good/necessary feature for sure. The 'always on' options can make sense, but scare me so I tend to avoid these type of ports/switches 😄
Many injectors are passive PoE. You also have to consider voltage. Some devices will not work with the 24V injectors.
Hmm that's true, I actually have an active PoE injector somewhere, but you're right that many aren't. Good point thanks 🙂
