Any of you know about a POE inline tester. We are currently using this one at work

Hobbes PoESmart Power Over Ethernet (PoE) and DC Inline Tester Meter

The PoEsmart 256320 is an IEEE 802.3bt standard Power Over Ethernet inline tester that is effective and an essential device when operating PoE tech. (Model: 13013280) (EAN: 7630049618879)

But we will need one that's calibratable, i'm amazed Fluke don't seem to make one.
 
Why is it important that you can calibrate it? The PoE standard has a wide range of voltages that are acceptable, the switches give a lot of information about why there might be a failure on a port such as a device trying to pull more power than it had negotiated.

If you're using copper cable and the link certifies for ethernet then it will be good for all the PoE standards. It's unclear what you're trying to get out of this.

Because it's for work, need evidence of accuracy.
I specifically asked about an inline tester not just a standard tester. We need to accurately measure a devices power consumption.

This is our first POE powered device. Previous IP devices have still been powered by 28V so super easy to measure power consumption with a multi meter
