    Study Notes

    Testing for DC Resistance Unbalance in PoE Systems

    • Poor quality cables with variations in diameter, concentricity, and smoothness of copper conductors pose a higher risk for DC resistance unbalance in PoE systems.
    • Non-standard conductors like copper coated aluminum (CCA) and copper coated steel do not comply with industry standards and do not support PoE applications due to increased DC resistance.
    • CCA cables have 55% greater DC resistance compared to solid copper cables of the same diameter, leading to increased heating and lower voltage at the powered device.
    • ANSI/TIA and ISO/IEC standards require twisted pair data cable to be 100% copper, and testing for DC Resistance Unbalance within a Pair and Between Pairs is essential.
    • IEEE Std 802.3-2012 specifies a maximum DC resistance unbalance of 3% between conductors, while the proposed IEEE 802.3bt standard requires the DC resistance unbalance between pairs to be no more than 7% or 50m Ω.
    • The DSX-5000 CableAnalyzer is capable of testing DC loop resistance, DC resistance unbalance within a pair, and DC resistance unbalance between pairs.
    • DC resistance unbalance test limits for TIA Cat 5e, Cat 6, Cat 6A, ISO11801 PL Class D, Class E, and Class Ea are specified in the table provided.
    • The DSX-5000 meter applies PASS/FAIL for the test limit selected when making a permanent link or channel measurement, providing confidence in the cabling's ability to support PoE.
    • Consideration should be given to including DC resistance unbalance testing as an extended field testing requirement to address issues surrounding CCA cables and meet IEEE-mandated PoE requirements.
    • As more enterprise entities deploy multiple gigabit Ethernet technologies and PoE devices, testing for DC resistance unbalance within a pair and between pairs becomes crucial.
    • The deployment of PoE Plus and PoE Plus Plus further emphasizes the importance of DC resistance unbalance testing for current and future PoE systems.
    • Using the correct termination tool, such as impact or multi-wire punchdown tools, can help increase termination consistency and avoid DC resistance unbalance in PoE systems.
