POE Switch TP-Link POE-PAN8-GBATF 802.3af/at 8-Port shielded Gigabit

POE Switch TP-Link POE-PAN8-GBATF is an 8-port PoE injector panel providing data and power over shielded Gigabit Ethernet. The panel supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards and delivers up to 25 W per port with an input voltage range of 44–57 V. It is designed to be mounted in a rack or cabinet and installed inline between an existing switch and patch panel to supply power to devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points.

Advantages

The unit integrates eight gigabit PoE injector channels in a single passive panel that works with standard twisted-pair cabling (Cat5/5e, Cat6/6e, Cat7/7e, Cat8e) and supports data rates up to 10/100/1000 Mbps. Shielded RJ45 connectors for input (data) and combined output (data+power) reduce electromagnetic interference. Multiple power input options are available via a standard 2.1 mm barrel jack or a panel-mounted terminal connector, allowing flexible connection to an external DC power supply. The panel is compact and lightweight for easy installation in distribution cabinets.

Suitable for

• Supplying power and data to IP cameras
• Connecting and powering wireless access points and bridges
• Powering VoIP phones and SIP endpoints
• Small cabinets or racks where centralized PoE injection is needed

How to use

Install the PoE panel into a suitable rack or cabinet and connect the data input RJ45 ports to an existing switch or hub. Provide DC power to the panel using a compatible external power supply connected either to the 2.1 mm barrel jack or to the panel terminal connector. Connect the combined output RJ45 ports to the powered devices using shielded Ethernet cables. Ensure the external power supply can deliver the required total current for all connected devices and that individual port power requirements do not exceed 25 W.

Usage recommendations

Choose an external DC power supply with sufficient wattage and current margin to cover the sum of the device loads plus overhead; observe recommended cabling (shielded Cat5e or better) and keep cable runs within standard Ethernet limits for reliable data and power delivery.
