LevelOne POI-3004 Gigabit PoE Injector, 30W

The LevelOne POI-3004 Gigabit PoE Injector is a reliable solution for delivering both power and data to network devices over a single Ethernet cable. By merging DC power of up to 30W with data from a non-PoE switch, this device allows for the seamless deployment of Powered Devices (PDs) within existing network infrastructures. It eliminates the need for additional power outlets near the equipment, making it an efficient choice for extending hardware capabilities without requiring a full switch upgrade.

Advantages

This injector simplifies network installations by combining power and data transmission into one cable, which reduces cable clutter and removes the necessity for bulky power adapters. It supports remote power feeding up to 100 meters, allowing for the placement of devices in challenging locations such as ceilings or walls. The unit features surge protection for enhanced safety and a compact, lightweight design with a unique interlocking mechanism for easy mounting. Its plug-and-play functionality ensures a straightforward setup process for various network environments.

Suitable for

• Powering IP network cameras
• Wireless access points
• VoIP telephones
• Devices requiring remote power in areas without electrical outlets

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed for standard Gigabit Ethernet networks and may not be suitable for high-power applications exceeding 30W. It is not intended for use in environments where the required cable run exceeds 100 meters, as signal and power degradation may occur beyond this distance.

Key specifications

• Data rates: 10, 100, 1000 Mbit/s
• Maximum operating distance: 100 m
• Output power: 30 W
• PoE voltage: 52 V
• Input voltage: 100 - 240 V
• Ports: 2 x RJ-45
• Indicators: LED for PoE and Power
• Dimensions: 55 x 35.5 x 173.5 mm

How to use

To install the device, connect your non-PoE switch to the data input port using an Ethernet cable. Connect the Powered Device, such as an IP camera or access point, to the PoE output port. Plug the injector into a standard electrical outlet using the provided power cable. The LED indicators will confirm that the device is receiving power and successfully delivering PoE to the connected equipment.

What to consider before purchase

• Ensure your network device is compatible with the 30W power output.
• Verify that your Ethernet cabling supports the required data speeds.
• Check if the installation location is within the 100-meter limit from the switch.

Usage recommendations: For optimal performance and safety, ensure the device is installed in a well-ventilated area and avoid exceeding the maximum power output capacity. Use high-quality Ethernet cables to maintain signal integrity over the 100-meter range.
