Planet - POE-163 - IEEE802.3at High Power PoE+ Gigabit Ethernet Injector - 30W (All-in-one Pack)
Product Overview
Planet POE-163 is a single-port Gigabit 802.3at PoE+ injector delivering up to 30W power output (DC 50-54V) over Cat5e/6 cabling, featuring an internal power supply in a compact all-in-one design. Supports 10/100/1000Mbps data rate, Mid-span power delivery (pins 4/5+,7/8-), and backward compatibility with 802.3af PoE.
Key Configuration
- • Interfaces: 1 × RJ45 Data In, 1 × RJ45 PoE Out (Data+Power), 1 × AC input socket
- • PoE standard: 802.3at (30W) / 802.3af (15.4W) backward compatible
- • Power output: DC 50-54V, 0.6A, 30W max
- • Data rate: 10/100/1000 Mbps
- • Power input: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz, 0.75A
- • Dimensions: 115 × 62.5 × 31 mm; weight: 185g
Key Features
Mid-span PoE+ injector – adds PoE to non-PoE switches. Internal power supply – no external power brick. Compact all-in-one design with wall-mountable form factor. Plug-and-play – no software configuration required. LED indicators: System Power (Green), PoE Active/In-Use (Green). Backward compatible with 802.3af (15.4W) PoE devices. Operating temperature: 0-50°C. TAA compliant. Certifications: FCC Part 15 Class B, CE.
Technical Context
The POE-163 injects power on the spare pairs (Mid-span, pins 4/5+,7/8-) while passing data through, enabling PoE capability on existing non-PoE switches. The 30W output powers 802.3at devices (PTZ cameras, high-power WAPs) and 15.4W 802.3af devices. The internal power supply eliminates bulky external adapters for desktop or wall-mount deployments. Distance: up to 100m over Cat5e/6 cabling.
Installation Notes
Dimensions: 115 × 62.5 × 31 mm (4.53 × 2.46 × 1.22 in.), weight: 185g (0.41 lb). Operating temperature: 0-50°C; humidity: 5-95% non-condensing. Storage: -10-70°C. Power: 100-240V AC, 50/60Hz. Output: 50-54V DC, 30W max. Connect the LAN port to the network switch; connect the PoE port to the powered device. Mid-span only – pins 4/5(+),7/8(-) – compatible with 802.3at/af End-span PDs. Max powered devices: 1. Wall-mountable (mounting hardware not specified).
