Power over Ethernet Bundle Kit (POE-100 + POE-100S)
<b>Power over Ethernet Adapter</b>
Using the Planet POE adapters, you can power most DC network devices (hubs, Wireless access points, cameras etc) over the same Cat 5/5e cable used to connect the device to the network.
When positioning network devices, system designers always have to consider the location of power outlets.. In some cases, this will restrict the optimum placement of devices or incur additional cost in installing new outlets. Planet’s PoE solution addresses these issues.
The PoE product includes two units: an Injector and a Splitter. An Injector inserts current into the unused wires in a standard network cable (pins: 4, 5, 7 and 8) allowing the cable between the Injector and the Splitter to transfer power and network signals simultaneously. The maximum distance between the Injector and Splitter can reach 100m/328ft, as defined by the IEEE 802.3 standard.
<b>By eliminating the need for power cords, PoE has following benefits:</b>
- Cost saving – The cost of deploying PoE is much lower than a traditional electrical circuit.
- Ease of network planning – the system designer has more flexibility to locate network devices. Independence from power outlets makes it easier to relocate devices or obtain the best performance, e,g: fine-tuning the RF coverage of an AP.
- Steady Wireless LAN connectivity – PoE allows a Wireless Access Point to be placed close to the antenna, thus avoiding signal loss over antenna cable.
<b>Key Features:</b>
- Provides low-voltage DC power over existing Category 5 cabling to a device with an Ethernet port;
- Distance up to 100 meters;
- Protects devices from possible damages due to power-surges;
- Three different output voltage options (5V/2A, 7.5V/1.5A, 12V/1A) to fit various devices;
- Work with EIA568, category 5, 4-pair cables for 10Base-T or 100Base-TX.
