LevelOne POI-2002 PoE Injector 15.4W Fast Ethernet

The LevelOne POI-2002 is a 15.4W PoE injector designed to provide both power and data transmission over a single Ethernet cable. This device integrates seamlessly into existing LAN infrastructures, allowing users to power 802.3af-compliant equipment, such as IP cameras or wireless access points, without the need for additional PoE switches. By merging DC power and data into one cable, it simplifies network deployment and reduces the need for extra electrical wiring.

Advantages

This PoE injector offers a cost-effective way to upgrade network hardware by eliminating the requirement for bulky power adapters and dedicated power lines. It supports remote power delivery over distances of up to 100 meters, making it ideal for installing devices in hard-to-reach locations like ceilings. The unit features an internal power supply, built-in surge protection for enhanced safety, and a compact, lightweight design with an interlocking mechanism for easy installation. Its plug-and-play functionality ensures quick and straightforward setup.

Suitable for

• Powering IP dome cameras
• Wireless access points
• VoIP phones
• Network devices requiring 802.3af compliance

When it may not be suitable

This injector is designed for Fast Ethernet speeds up to 100 Mbit/s and is not suitable for Gigabit network environments where higher data throughput is required. Additionally, it provides a maximum power output of 15.4W, so it will not support high-power devices such as PTZ cameras or advanced Wi-Fi 6 access points that demand higher wattage.

Key specifications

• Data rates: 10/100 Mbit/s
• PoE standard: IEEE 802.3, 802.3af, 802.3u
• Power output: 15.4W
• Voltage: 52V
• Input voltage: 100 - 240V AC
• Dimensions: 55 x 35.5 x 173.5 mm
• Weight: 0.28 kg

How to use

To use the LevelOne POI-2002, connect your non-PoE switch to the data input port of the injector using an Ethernet cable. Then, connect your PoE-compliant device, such as an IP camera, to the PoE output port. Plug the injector into a standard AC power outlet. The integrated LED indicators will display the status of the power and PoE connection, confirming that the device is receiving both data and electricity.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your network device is compatible with the IEEE 802.3af standard.
• Ensure the power requirements of your device do not exceed 15.4W.
• Check if your network infrastructure requires Gigabit speeds, as this device is limited to 100 Mbit/s.
• Confirm that the installation distance does not exceed 100 meters.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and safety, ensure the device is installed in a well-ventilated area and use high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cables to maintain signal integrity over long distances.
