FAQs

What is a PoE+ Injector?

A PoE+ (Power over Ethernet Plus) Injector is a device that adds electrical power to an Ethernet data cable, allowing a single cable to deliver both data and power to a compatible network device.

What is the difference between PoE and PoE+?

PoE (IEEE 802.3af) provides up to 15.4 W of power, while PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) provides more power, up to 30 W, making it suitable for more power-intensive devices.

What types of devices can I power with this TL-POE160S injector?

You can power any network device that is compliant with IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at standards, such as IP security cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other compatible network equipment.

Do I need special Ethernet cables for PoE+?

Standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables are generally sufficient for PoE+ applications. For longer distances or higher power, Cat6 or better is often recommended.

Can I use this injector with non-PoE devices?

No, this injector should only be used with PoE or PoE+ compliant devices. Connecting it to a non-PoE device could potentially damage the non-PoE device as it is not designed to receive power over the Ethernet cable.

Does the TL-POE160S reduce my network speed?

No, the TL-POE160S features Gigabit Ethernet ports, meaning it supports network speeds up to 1000 Mbps. It will not reduce the network speed of your connected devices.

Does this product come with a power adapter?

Yes, the TP-Link TL-POE160S typically includes its necessary power adapter for operation.

Troubleshooting

Connected device is not powering on.
  1. Verify that the injector's power adapter is securely connected to an active power outlet. 2. Check all Ethernet cable connections between the data source, injector, and powered device. 3. Ensure the connected device is indeed PoE or PoE+ (IEEE 802.3af/at) compatible. Non-PoE devices will not receive power. 4. Try a different Ethernet cable or power outlet to rule out faulty components.
Slow network speed on the powered device.
  1. Ensure you are using high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables, as lower quality or damaged cables can impact performance. 2. Verify that your router/switch and the end device both support Gigabit Ethernet to achieve optimal speeds. 3. Check for any kinks or damage in the Ethernet cables.
Injector indicator lights are off.
  1. Confirm the power adapter is properly plugged into both the injector and a functioning wall outlet. 2. Try plugging the power adapter into a different electrical outlet. 3. If possible, test with a different compatible power adapter (ensure voltage and current ratings match).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Delivers power and data over a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installation.
  • Easy plug-and-play setup requires no complex configuration.
  • Supports high-power PoE+ devices up to 30W, suitable for various applications.
  • Gigabit Ethernet ports ensure fast network speeds are maintained.
  • Reduces cable clutter and the need for electrical outlets near powered devices.

Cons

  • Requires the connected end device to be PoE/PoE+ compliant.
  • Adds an additional physical component to your network setup.
  • Only powers one device per injector.

Setup Instructions 1. Connect Data Source: Plug an Ethernet cable from your router or network switch into the `DATA IN` port on the TL-POE160S. 2. Connect PoE Device: Use another Ethernet cable to connect the `POWER+DATA OUT` port of the TL-POE160S to your PoE-enabled device (e.g., IP camera, access point). 3. Power On: Plug the TL-POE160S's power adapter into an electrical outlet and connect it to the injector. The indicator lights should illuminate. ### Compatibility - PoE/PoE+ Devices: Compatible with all devices that adhere to IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards. - Network Speed: Supports Gigabit Ethernet connections. - Cabling: Best performance with Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables for both data and power transmission. ### Care and Maintenance - Placement: Place the injector in a dry, well-ventilated area away from direct sunlight and heat sources. - Temperature: Avoid exposing the device to extreme temperatures or humidity. - Cleaning: Disconnect the power adapter before cleaning. Use a soft, dry cloth; do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
