Network switch PLANET IPOE-270-12V Power over Ethernet PoE

The PLANET IPOE-270-12V is a compact industrial 2-port mid-span IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ injector hub that provides two 10/100/1G/2.5G/5GBASE-T PoE++ injector ports, each capable of supplying up to 90 W and sharing a total PoE budget of 180 W. The unit delivers both data and power over standard Cat5e/6 UTP cables to remote 802.3bt/at powered devices, enabling an upgrade to 802.3bt PoE++ without replacing existing Ethernet switches and allowing centralised power management in small business and enterprise networks.

Advantages

The IPOE-270-12V follows the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard and PoH technology to provide higher per-port power (up to 90 W) using all four cable pairs, offering three times the power of 802.3at PoE+. It supports long-distance PoE extension when used with compatible PoE extenders, reduces the need for local AC outlets by combining data and power over a single Ethernet cable, and includes intelligent LEDs for monitoring power input and real-time PoE usage. The device accepts a wide DC input range (12–54 V) with built-in boost to 54 V, supports dual/backup power inputs, and is designed for stable operation in industrial environments with a wide operating temperature range.

Suitable for

• PoE PTZ speed dome cameras
• Network devices such as switches and wireless access points
• Thin clients and all-in-one touch PCs (POS kiosks)
• Remote digital signage displays
• PoE lighting and other high-power PoE devices

How to use

Install the IPOE-270-12V between your existing Ethernet switch and the powered devices. Connect the Ethernet switch to the device's network input ports for data, then connect the PoE output ports to remote 802.3bt/at powered devices using Cat5e/6 UTP cables. Provide DC power to the unit using the 12–54 V input; the device supports dual/backup power inputs. The unit is plug-and-play and will supply both power and data over the same cable to compliant PDs without requiring configuration changes on the existing switch.

Usage recommendations

Use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and, for installations beyond 100 m, add compatible PLANET PoE extenders. Monitor the front-panel LEDs to check power input status and real-time PoE power usage (60 W / 120 W / 180 W indications). For industrial or transportation deployments, ensure the DC power source meets the 12–54 V range and consider dual power for redundancy.
