PoE Injector TRENDnet TPE-318GI — 10 Gigabit Ethernet, PoE++ (4PPoE), 90W budget, black

TRENDnet TPE-318GI is a compact PoE injector designed to add 10 Gigabit PoE++ capability to an existing non-PoE network port. The unit combines a 10GBASE-T Ethernet data link with Power over Ethernet (PoE/PoE+/PoE++) to deliver up to 90 W of power to a single powered device while supporting cable runs up to 100 m over Cat6A or better. The injector is a black, CE/FCC certified device intended for use where a high-power PoE feed is required without replacing the switch.

Advantages

The TPE-318GI converts a standard non-PoE 10G port into a powered 10G PoE++ port, supporting IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt devices. It features auto-sensing power delivery to negotiate the appropriate wattage for PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ endpoints and maintains full 10 Gbps throughput for bandwidth-intensive applications. With a maximum PoE budget of 90 W and low internal power consumption (0.7 W max), the injector provides efficient power delivery for high-power network equipment while minimizing additional energy draw.

Suitable for

• High-performance wireless access points requiring PoE++
• Multi‑radio or PTZ IP surveillance cameras with high power needs
• VoIP phone systems and IPTV decoders that require both power and 10G data
• Access control devices and networked edge equipment with PoE++ support

Key specifications

• Ethernet speed: 10 Gigabit (10GBASE-T)
• PoE standards supported: IEEE 802.3af (PoE), IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++)
• Maximum PoE power budget: 90 W to the powered device
• Power consumption of injector: 0.7 W (maximum)
• Cable support: up to 100 m over Cat6A or better
• Auto-sensing power negotiation for PoE/PoE+/PoE++
• Form factor: compact injector, black housing
• Regulatory: CE and FCC certified

How to use

Install the TPE-318GI by connecting a 10G non‑PoE switch port to the injector’s data input, then connect the injector’s output to the PoE device using Cat6A or better cabling. Ensure the end device supports PoE, PoE+ or PoE++ and that cable length does not exceed 100 m. The injector will automatically negotiate the required power class with the connected device and deliver up to the available 90 W budget. Place the injector in a ventilated area and follow local electrical safety requirements during installation.

Usage recommendations

Use Cat6A or higher-quality cabling for sustained 10 Gbps performance and reliable PoE++ delivery; verify the powered device’s maximum input power to ensure the 90 W budget meets system requirements, and confirm environmental conditions and ventilation to prevent thermal issues.
