Product Information
Full details
The Kenable Kauden XT403 PoE Tester is designed for network installers, system integrators, and IT professionals who need a quick and safe way to identify Power over Ethernet (PoE) on RJ45 cables and ports. Its key benefit is instant, battery-free detection of various PoE standards, including PoE++, and 24V passive PoE. A minor caveat is its reliance on the line voltage for power, meaning it cannot test unpowered ports.

FAQs
Does the Kauden XT403 require batteries?
No, the Kauden XT403 is powered directly from the PoE voltage on the cable it is testing. It does not require any batteries.
What PoE standards can the XT403 detect?
It can detect IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++), and 24V passive PoE systems.
Can I use this tester on a non-PoE network port?
Yes, you can plug it into a non-PoE port, but no LEDs will light up as there is no power to detect. It is safe to use on any RJ45 port.
How does it differentiate between Mode A and Mode B PoE?
The device uses specific LED indicators to show whether the power is being supplied over the end-span (Mode A, pins 1/2/3/6) or mid-span (Mode B, pins 4/5/7/8).
Is the XT403 compatible with Gigabit Ethernet?
Yes, it is designed to be fully compatible with 10/100/1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) network ports.
What is the advantage of the pen-style design?
The compact and lightweight pen-style design makes it highly portable and easy to use in tight spaces or when working at height, fitting conveniently into any tool bag.
Troubleshooting
No LED indicators light up when plugged into a port.
Ensure the port is actually providing PoE power. The XT403 requires line voltage to operate. Try testing a different port known to be PoE-enabled or a PoE injector.
LEDs indicate the wrong PoE standard.
Verify the specifications of the Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) and the device being powered. Ensure the XT403 is correctly seated in the port or cable.
The device feels warm during prolonged testing.
This is normal if testing a high-power PoE++ source, as the device is drawing power. Ensure good ventilation.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Instantly identifies multiple PoE standards, including the latest PoE++.
- No batteries required, drawing power directly from the tested cable.
- Compact and lightweight design for easy portability.
- Supports both standard and 24V passive PoE systems.
- Gigabit network compatible for broad applicability.
- Provides clear visual indicators for easy interpretation.
Cons
- Cannot test unpowered ports as it requires PoE to operate.
- Limited to testing RJ45 connections.
- Does not provide voltage readings, only presence and type detection.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The XT403 requires no setup. Simply plug its RJ45 connector directly into the network cable or port you wish to test. The device is automatically powered by the PoE voltage present.
Compatibility:
- PoE Standards: Compatible with IEEE 802.3af (PoE), 802.3at (PoE+), 802.3bt (PoE++), and 24V passive PoE.
- Network Speed: Works with 10/100/1000Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet) networks.
- Connector Type: RJ45.
Care:
- Keep the device clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning. Avoid using solvents or abrasive cleaners.
- Store in a dry environment away from extreme temperatures.
- Handle the RJ45 connector with care to avoid damage.
