Planet - POE-171A-95 - Single-Port Multi-Gigabit 802.3bt PoE++ Injector
Product Overview
The Planet POE-171A-95 is a single-port multi-gigabit 802.3bt PoE++ injector delivering up to 95W power output with 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5G data rates, supporting 802.3bt Type-4, UPoE, and Legacy/Force modes. Features 4-pair power delivery (End-span + Mid-span) with up to 89.5W at 1m cable and 75W at 100m, PoE usage LEDs, external AC-to-DC adapter included, and compact metal case.
Key Configuration
• Interfaces: 1 × RJ45 Data In, 1 × RJ45 PoE Out (Data+Power), 1 × DC input socket (52-56V DC)
• PoE standard: 802.3bt Type-4, UPoE, Legacy/Force modes
• Power output: 52-56V DC, up to 95W via 4-pair; 89.5W at 1m, 75W at 100m
• Data rate: 10M/100M/1G/2.5G/5Gbps
• Power input: 52-56V DC, 2.5A max; consumption: 130W max
• Dimensions: 94 × 70.3 × 26.2 mm; weight: 250g
Key Features
This TAA-compliant injector handles a 5Gbps multi-gigabit data pass-through over 4-pair UTP cabling (End-span pins 1/2-, 3/6+; Mid-span pins 4/5+, 7/8-) driven by dual PSE controllers. It delivers up to 95W within the 52–56V DC 802.3bt Type 4 window, which drops from 89.5W at 1m to 75W at 100m due to line resistance. Specialized hardware features include a "Legacy" mode for non-standard devices and an automatic "Force" backup mode supplying up to 60W.
Technical Context
Weighing 250g (0.55 lb) and measuring 94 × 70.3 × 26.2 mm, the unit has 6KV DC ESD protection and uses an included 100–240V AC to 52–56V DC (2.5A) external adapter with a 130W maximum draw to power a single device. It supports 1G/2.5G rates up to 100m on Cat5e/6/6A, but requires Cat6 or better for 5Gbps operation. Visual diagnostics rely on a 6-LED cluster (1 Green Power, 1 Amber PoE-in-Use, 1 Amber Legacy, 3 Amber PoE Usage indicators).
Installation Notes
The FCC Class A/CE certified hardware operates from 0–50°C (5–90% non-condensing humidity) and stores at -10–70°C. For unpowered downstream hardware requiring 12V, 19V, or 24V DC, it can be combined with a separate Planet POE-172S splitter.
