Abstract
A LAN cable conductor monitoring system includes an IoT device with a number of IoT input ports that are each connected to a network switch output port. The IoT device measures the current passing through each connected network switch output port, and passes the signals on to their respective cable conductors. A number of temperature sensors positioned at various points on the pass temperature readings back to the IoT device. If the temperature readings or current readings for a given network switch output port exceed predefined limits, the IoT device imposes PoE (Power over Ethernet) current constraints on the network switch.
