PoE adapter Cudy POE40 — Gigabit Ethernet, 30W per port, 60W total, metal housing, up to 100 m

Cudy POE40 is a compact Gigabit Ethernet PoE adapter that delivers 10/100/1000 Mbps data rates and supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt standards. The device offers a 60 W total power budget and up to 30 W available on a single port, allowing simultaneous data and power delivery over standard Ethernet cabling. Housed in a metal case with a fanless design, the POE40 is intended to extend PoE reach up to 100 m and to power devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones in wired network installations.

Advantages

The POE40 provides gigabit switching performance with non-blocking throughput, enabling stable data transfer across connected devices. Its auto-detection of PoE and non-PoE equipment prevents supplying power to incompatible devices. The metal housing and fanless construction improve heat dissipation and allow quiet, continuous operation. Plug-and-play functionality simplifies installation without configuration.

Suitable for

• Powering and connecting IP surveillance cameras in homes, offices and small businesses
• Supplying power and network connectivity to Wi‑Fi access points for extended wireless coverage
• Connecting and powering VoIP phones for business telephony and conference calls
• Extending PoE reach up to 100 meters for remote PoE devices

How to use

Connect a compatible PoE power source or PoE switch to the POE40's input port, then connect PoE-enabled devices such as cameras, access points or VoIP phones to the output ports using standard Ethernet cables. The adapter automatically detects PoE-capable and non-PoE equipment and supplies power only to compliant devices. Place the unit on a flat surface or mount it to a wall using the supplied mounting points; ensure adequate ventilation around the metal housing. Use Cat5e or better cabling for reliable Gigabit links and maintain cable lengths within 100 m for each run.

Usage recommendations

To ensure stable operation, distribute powered devices to avoid exceeding the 60 W total budget and prioritize high-power devices (up to 30 W) on individual ports. Verify device PoE class and required power before connection, and use quality Ethernet cables (Cat5e/Cat6 or higher) for optimal performance. Install the adapter in environments free from excessive dust and moisture to preserve the metal housing and internal components.
