Planet - POE-172 - Single Port 10/100/1000Mbps Ultra POE Injector (60 Watts) - w/internal power, 802.3at PoE compatible
Product Overview
The Planet POE-172 is a single-port Ultra PoE injector providing up to 60W power output over 4-pair UTP (Cat5/5e/6) with 56V DC delivery. It features an integrated power supply in a compact design and supports both End-span and Mid-span power on all 4 pairs. It is backward compatible with 802.3af (15W) and 802.3at (30W) devices and supports Gigabit Ethernet data transmission (10/100/1000Mbps) for high-power network applications.
Key Configuration
• Interfaces: 1 × RJ45 LAN (data in), 1 × RJ45 PoE (data + power out), 1 × IEC-320 C6 AC input
• PoE Standard: Ultra PoE (802.3bt-ready), 4-pair power; backward compatible with 802.3af/at
• Power Output: 56V DC, up to 60W (4-pair) / 30W (2-pair)
• Data Rate: 10/100/1000 Mbps Gigabit Ethernet
• Power Input: 100–240V AC, 50/60Hz, 1.5A max; 56V DC, 1.08A output
• Size: 115 × 62.5 × 31 mm
• Weight: 235 g
Key Features
60W Ultra PoE injector for high-power devices such as PTZ cameras, touch PCs, and digital signage. Uses 4-pair UTP power delivery (End-span and Mid-span) with plug-and-play setup, no configuration required, and internal power supply for compact deployment. Includes LED status indicators and supports operation up to 100 m over Cat5/5e/6 cabling.
Technical Context
Delivers up to 60W by combining power over both data and spare pairs, exceeding standard 802.3at limits while maintaining compatibility with 802.3af/at devices. Designed for mixed PoE environments, it supports Gigabit data transmission and ensures stable high-power delivery for advanced network endpoints.
Installation Notes
Compact size (115 × 62.5 × 31 mm, 235 g) with desktop or rack placement and IEC-320 AC input (100–240V). Operates from 0–50°C with up to 95% humidity tolerance and uses a 56V DC output suitable for Ultra PoE devices. LEDs indicate power and PoE activity, with a simple LAN-in and PoE-out connection design.
