4-Port Multi-Gigabit PoE++ Injector

This injector delivers power and data to four remote devices over Ethernet cable. It operates as Power Sourcing Equipment compatible with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt standards. Multi-gigabit speeds of 5, 2.5 and 1 Gbps are supported alongside 100 and 10 Mbps links. A 160 W total power budget is distributed across all four ports.

Suits installers needing up to four powered ports

This unit fits deployments where four PoE devices require mid-span power injection. Buyers needing more than four powered ports should look elsewhere. Installations requiring per-port power above 95 W are not supported. The 160 W total budget limits simultaneous high-power loads across all ports.

160 W total power budget

The injector provides a maximum combined output of 160 Watts across its four ports. Each port can deliver up to 95 W using PoE++ or forced 60 W legacy modes. A DIP switch selects auto-negotiation up to 90 W, 95 W PoH+ or forced 60 W operation. This budget determines how many high-power devices can run simultaneously.

Questions about this item

How do I confirm the injector is delivering power to all four ports after installation?

Check the per-port LED indicators; each lit LED shows the port has successfully negotiated PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ and is supplying up to 95W to the connected device.

What comes in the box and what must I source separately?

The package includes the 4-port injector, a universal power adapter with NA/JP, EU, UK and ANZ plug heads, and a wall/DIN-rail mounting bracket; you supply the Cat 5e/6/6a Ethernet cables for each powered device.

When should I use the DIP switch to force 60W instead of leaving it on auto-negotiation up to 90W?

Select forced legacy 60W (UPoE) mode only for older powered devices that do not support IEEE 802.3bt negotiation; otherwise leave the switch on auto for up to 90W or 95W PoH+ operation.
