PoE adapter Cudy POE300

The Cudy POE300 is a compact Gigabit Ethernet PoE adapter that supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards. It supplies 50 V and up to 60 W of output power to devices over a single Ethernet cable, and includes LED indicators for power status. The adapter is designed to work with a wide AC input range of 100–240 V and comes in a black housing with a compact footprint of 145 mm × 60 mm × 40 mm.

Advantages

The POE300 provides a simple way to power PoE and PoE+ compatible devices without additional power cabling, combining data and power delivery over one Ethernet connection. Its wall-mountable design and LED power indicators make installation and status verification straightforward, while the wide AC input range ensures compatibility with different mains voltages.

Suitable for

• IP cameras that support IEEE 802.3af/at
• Wireless access points requiring PoE or PoE+
• VoIP phones and small network devices powered via Ethernet

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for devices that accept PoE or PoE+ power over Ethernet and may not be suitable for equipment requiring higher voltages or power levels above 60 W. It is not a network switch; it provides power and passthrough for a single Ethernet link and therefore does not add additional network ports beyond the two RJ-45 connectors for input and powered output.

Key specifications

• Standards: IEEE 802.3af (PoE), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)
• Output voltage: 50 V
• Maximum output power: 60 W
• Ethernet ports: 2 × RJ-45 (Gigabit)
• AC input voltage: 100–240 V
• Dimensions: 145 × 60 × 40 mm
• Colour: Black

How to use

Mount the Cudy POE300 on a wall using the built-in mounting points, connect the adapter to mains power (100–240 V), then connect an Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the adapter's input port and a second Ethernet cable from the adapter's output port to the PoE-powered device. Verify power delivery using the LED indicators.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure the powered device supports IEEE 802.3af or IEEE 802.3at standards.
• Confirm the device’s power requirement does not exceed 60 W.
• Check that a Gigabit Ethernet connection is suitable for your network needs.

Usage recommendations

For reliable performance, use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e or higher) and verify cable run lengths and power budgets when deploying multiple PoE devices. Regularly check LED indicators to confirm power status.
