TP-Link Omada TL-POE170S PoE++ Injector Adapter Gigabit Ethernet 60W Metal Housing

The TP-Link Omada TL-POE170S PoE++ Injector Adapter is designed to efficiently deliver both electrical power and network data over a single Ethernet cable. Operating at Gigabit Ethernet speeds, this adapter simplifies network expansion in professional and demanding environments where traditional power outlets are unavailable. Housed in a durable black metal casing, the unit integrates a power supply and supports high-power delivery up to 60 watts, making it a reliable choice for powering modern network peripherals.

Advantages

This PoE++ injector significantly reduces infrastructure installation costs by eliminating the need for separate electrical wiring near connected network hardware. It automatically determines and supplies the exact power required by compatible equipment while maintaining stable gigabit data transmission. The plug and play installation process requires no software configuration, allowing for rapid deployment. Additionally, its versatile structural design accommodates both desktop placement and wall mounting to fit various spatial requirements.

Suitable for

• Powering high-power PTZ IP security cameras
• Connecting wireless access points in areas without power lines
• Deploying VoIP phones in large office networks
• Operating LED lighting systems integrated into network setups

When it may not be suitable

This device may not be necessary if your network switches already feature native PoE++ ports capable of delivering sufficient power directly to your devices. It is also unsuitable for standard networking setups that do not require Power over Ethernet technology or where equipment operates solely on traditional direct power supplies.

Key specifications

• Gigabit Ethernet interface supporting 10, 100, and 1000 Mbit/s data rates
• Compliance with IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3at, IEEE 802.3bt, IEEE 802.3ab, IEEE 802.3i, and IEEE 802.3u standards
• Maximum output power of 60 watts
• Compatible with Cat3, Cat4, Cat5, Cat5e, and Cat6 cabling technology
• Durable metal housing in black color
• Input voltage range of 100 to 240 V at 50/60 Hz
• Dimensions: 155 mm width, 70 mm depth, 42 mm height

How to use

Connect the injector to an AC power outlet using the integrated power supply. Use a standard Ethernet cable to connect your network switch or router to the data-in port of the TL-POE170S. Connect another Ethernet cable from the power and data out port of the injector directly to the powered device, such as an IP camera or access point. The device will automatically detect power requirements and establish the connection without manual configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your powered device supports IEEE 802.3af, at, or bt standards and does not exceed the 60W power limit
• Check the cable category currently installed in your network infrastructure to ensure compatibility with gigabit speeds
• Determine the physical installation location to decide between desktop placement or wall mounting

Usage recommendations

Ensure adequate ventilation around the metal housing during continuous operation and verify that total power consumption of connected peripherals does not exceed the 60W output threshold.
