PoE Injector TRENDNET TPE-116GI Gigabit 60W for Single-Port Power over Ethernet

The PoE Injector TRENDNET TPE-116GI Gigabit 60W for Single-Port Power over Ethernet supplies both Gigabit data and up to 60 watts of power to a single PoE-enabled device via one Ethernet cable. It is designed for situations where a PoE switch is not available or practical and provides inline installation to add power to access points, IP cameras, VoIP phones and other network devices. The injector supports standard PoE power delivery over a single port while preserving full Gigabit throughput for connected devices.

Advantages

The TRENDNET TPE-116GI combines Gigabit data transfer with up to 60W of PoE power in a compact inline unit, enabling placement of powered devices where separate power sources are impractical. It supports standard PoE power negotiation to ensure device compatibility and protects network performance by maintaining full 1 Gbps Ethernet speed. The simple plug-and-play design eliminates the need for additional cabling or advanced configuration, and its single-port form factor is suitable for small installations or upgrades where only one device requires PoE.

Suitable for

• Deploying a single wireless access point in ceilings or outdoor enclosures where AC power is unavailable
• Powering a standalone PoE IP camera mounted at a distance from power outlets
• Providing power and data to a VoIP phone or desktop endpoint without a PoE switch
• Adding PoE capability to an existing non-PoE network segment for one device

Key specifications

• Ethernet performance: Gigabit (10/100/1000 Mbps) data throughput
• Maximum power output: up to 60 watts to a single port
• PoE standard compatibility: supports standard Power over Ethernet negotiation
• Port configuration: single PoE output port plus passthrough data link
• Installation: inline injection between switch and powered device, plug-and-play
• Form factor: compact single-port injector suitable for desktop or rack-shelf placement

How to use

Connect the injector's data input to an existing network switch or router using a Cat5e or higher Ethernet cable, then connect the injector's PoE output to the PoE-enabled device with a second Ethernet cable. Attach the injector to mains power using the included power cord or adapter. The unit will negotiate power with the connected device and deliver up to 60W while passing Gigabit data. No additional software configuration is required; verify LEDs or device status indicators to confirm link and power delivery.

Usage recommendations

Use a high-quality Cat5e or Cat6 cable to preserve Gigabit throughput and minimize power loss over distance. Verify the powered device's PoE class and power requirements to ensure compatibility with the injector's maximum 60W output. For outdoor or harsh environments, place the injector indoors or in a weatherproof enclosure and observe temperature and ventilation guidelines from the device documentation.
