A network technician is troubleshooting an IP security camera that fails to power on when connected to an RJ-45 wall jack configured for Power over Ethernet (PoE). The technician needs to measure the precise electrical DC voltage output across the specific copper pins at the wall jack to confirm whether the switch port is supplying power. Which hardware tool should the technician use to perform this measurement?
- Digital multimeterCevap
- BTime-Domain Reflectometer (TDR)
- CTone generator and probe
- DWiremap tester
Cevap
A digital multimeter is the correct tool to measure electrical DC voltage across copper cable pins.
A digital multimeter measures electrical potential (DC voltage), current, and resistance. Placing the multimeter test leads across the active PoE conductor pins allows the technician to confirm whether adequate DC power is reaching the wall jack.
