Product Information
Full details
The Kauden KA210 is a comprehensive three-part network testing kit designed for installers, system integrators, and IT professionals. Its key benefit is providing essential tools for verifying network installations and troubleshooting connectivity issues, including a full-featured cable tester and a dedicated PoE checker, all in one package. A potential caveat is that while it supports passive PoE, advanced active PoE configurations might require further investigation beyond the checker's immediate display.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
What types of cables can the KA210 test?
The Kauden KA210 is designed to test standard RJ45 Ethernet network cables, such as Cat5e, Cat6, and Cat6a.
Does the kit come with batteries?
Please refer to the product packaging or manual for specific battery inclusion details, as this can vary.
How do I know if a cable has a short circuit?
A short circuit will typically be indicated by specific LED patterns on the tester, showing that connected wires are unintentionally touching. Consult the XT468 tester's manual for the exact LED indication.
Can I use the PoE checker with active PoE switches?
Yes, the XT403 PoE checker supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt standards, which are common for active PoE switches. It also supports passive PoE.
What is passive PoE?
Passive PoE is a method where power is delivered over the network cable without using the negotiation protocols found in standards like 802.3af. The KA210 supports common passive PoE voltages like 24V and 48V.
Is the remote terminator required for PoE testing?
No, the remote terminator is used for full cable testing. For PoE testing, the XT403 PoE checker is plugged directly into the cable or network port.
How do I perform a dual-speed test?
The XT468 tester typically defaults to a standard speed. Refer to the tester's specific manual for instructions on how to activate or select the dual-speed test mode, if available and applicable to your testing needs.
Troubleshooting
Cable tester shows no activity or all LEDs are off.
Ensure the cable is securely connected to both the main tester and the remote terminator. Check that the cable is not severely damaged. Replace batteries if applicable and test again.
PoE checker does not indicate PoE presence.
Verify that the PoE source (switch or injector) is powered on and configured to provide PoE. Ensure the XT403 checker is correctly plugged into the cable end or port. Confirm the device connected to the port is not blocking PoE detection.
Cable tester shows incorrect wire mapping (e.g., shorts, opens, crossed pairs).
The cable likely has a fault. Re-terminate the connectors on both ends of the cable, ensuring the correct wire order (T568A or T568B) is followed. Test again with the kit.
PoE checker displays an unexpected PoE type.
Consult the documentation for your PoE source to confirm its standard. The checker may display a general indicator for non-standard passive PoE; verify compatibility before connecting sensitive equipment.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- All-in-one solution for network cable testing and PoE verification.
- Protects equipment by identifying PoE before connection.
- Supports a wide range of PoE standards and passive PoE.
- Quickly diagnoses common cable faults.
- Portable design suitable for field use.
Cons
- PoE checker may not provide detailed power output information for all active PoE switch configurations.
- Primarily designed for RJ45 connectors, not other network cabling types.
- Requires user understanding of network cabling standards for optimal use.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect one end of the network cable to the main XT468 tester and the other end to the remote terminator.
- To test for PoE, disconnect the remote terminator and plug the XT403 PoE checker directly into the network port or cable end you wish to test.
Compatibility:
- The kit is designed for standard RJ45 Ethernet network cables (Cat5e, Cat6, Cat6a, etc.).
- The PoE checker is compatible with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3bt, and passive PoE (24V, 48V).
Care:
- Keep the testers clean and dry. Use a soft, dry cloth for cleaning.
- Avoid exposing the devices to extreme temperatures or direct sunlight for extended periods.
- Store components in their protective packaging when not in use to prevent damage.
