The adapter supports various output profiles including 5V/2.6A, 9V/1.75A, 12V/1.45A, 15V/1.37A, and 20V/1.15A, with a maximum output power of 60W.

Do I need to install any drivers or software?

No, this adapter is plug-and-play and does not require any software installation or configuration.

What is the maximum cable length supported?

The adapter supports standard Ethernet cabling up to a maximum operating distance of 100 meters.

Troubleshooting

Device not receiving power or data

Verify that the connected Ethernet cable is plugged into an IEEE802.3at compliant PoE source. Ensure the Ethernet cable is securely connected at both ends and is not damaged. Check that the connected USB-C device is compatible with the adapter's PD3.0 output profiles.

Slow internet speeds

Confirm that the Ethernet cable used is Cat5 or better and is within the 100m maximum distance. Check the network configuration of your connected device. Note that the adapter's maximum data rate is 100Mbps.

Adapter not powering on (no LEDs)

Ensure the PoE source is active and providing power. Check the connections to the adapter's RJ-45 input port.

Device charges intermittently

Ensure stable network conditions. Check the USB-C cable for damage. Verify that the connected device's power draw does not exceed the adapter's maximum output capabilities.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Supports PD3.0 fast charging for quick device power-ups.
  • Provides both power and 100Mbps data over a single Ethernet cable.
  • Compact and easy to deploy on a desk or mount.
  • Plug-and-play functionality simplifies setup.
  • Compliant with IEEE802.3at standard for broad compatibility in supported networks.

Cons

  • Requires an IEEE802.3at compatible network environment.
  • Limited to 100Mbps Ethernet speeds, not Gigabit.
  • Plastic housing may be less durable than metal alternatives for heavy-duty use.
  • Primarily designed for low-power mobile devices.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

This adapter is designed for plug-and-play operation. Simply connect an Ethernet cable from your IEEE802.3at-compatible PoE switch or injector to the adapter's RJ-45 input port. Then, connect your USB-C powered device to the adapter's USB Type-C output port.

Compatibility:

  • Network: Requires an IEEE802.3at compliant Power Source Equipment (PSE) such as a PoE switch or injector. It is backward compatible with IEEE802.3af but may not deliver full power.
  • Devices: Compatible with low-power mobile devices (phones, tablets, game consoles) that support USB Power Delivery (USB PD) 3.0 via their Type-C port. Ensure your device's power requirements are met by the adapter's output profiles (5V/2.6A, 9V/1.75A, 12V/1.45A, 15V/1.37A, 20V/1.15A).
  • Cabling: Supports Cat5 Ethernet cables up to a maximum distance of 100 meters.

Care:

  • Keep the adapter in a dry environment. Recommended operating relative humidity is 20-80%.
  • Avoid exposing the adapter to extreme temperatures; store it between -20 and 70 °C.
  • Clean the exterior with a dry, soft cloth. Do not use liquids or cleaning agents.
  • Ensure proper ventilation around the adapter to prevent overheating.
