About PoE Adapters & Injectors
A PoE injector, also called a PoE adapter, adds power to a single network cable. Power over Ethernet carries power and data over one cable, which is useful for cameras, access points and door hardware mounted away from a power point. An injector suits a device or two on a network whose switch has no PoE or not enough PoE power left.
Which PoE injector do I need?
Start with the power your device needs and its PoE standard, because a device may not start or may lose features on too little power. The Ubiquiti U-POE delivers up to 15 W with a Gigabit connection. For PoE+ devices, the Ubiquiti U-PoE+ delivers up to 30 W with a Gigabit connection, and it is listed as compatible with devices such as the U6 Long-Range access point and G5 PTZ cameras.
If the device supports faster networking, the Ubiquiti 2.5G PoE+ Adapter also delivers up to 30 W and provides a Multi-Gigabit connection. For demanding PoE++ devices such as the G4 PTZ camera, the Ubiquiti U-PoE++ delivers up to 60 W.
PoE, PoE+ and PoE++
PoE (802.3af) provides up to about 15 W, PoE+ (802.3at) up to about 30 W, and PoE++ (802.3bt) up to 60 W or more. These figures are what the injector supplies, and the device receives slightly less over the cable. Some older equipment uses passive PoE, which works differently, so check the device's specifications before you connect it.
Injector or PoE switch?
An injector is usually the simpler choice for one or two devices. If you are powering several from one location, a PoE switch is often tidier, as long as its total power budget covers everything you plan to connect.
How an injector connects
The injector plugs into a power point. One network cable runs from your router or switch to the data input, and another runs from the PoE output to the device. Use Ethernet cable of suitable quality, and check that the injector's data speed matches your network. Fixed data cabling in Australia must be installed by a registered cabler. We are a retail store and do not install directly, but we can recommend qualified installers.
