PoE adapter UBIQUITI POE-24-12W-5P, Gigabit Ethernet, 10/100/1000 Mbps, 90–260V AC input, 0.5A output

UBIQUITI POE-24-12W-5P is a Power over Ethernet adapter designed to deliver mid-level PoE power while supporting Gigabit Ethernet links at 10/100/1000 Mbps. The adapter accepts a wide AC input range of 90–260 V at 47–63 Hz and provides a 0.5 A DC output suitable for powering compatible network devices such as access points, surveillance cameras and small switches that require PoE power.

Advantages

This PoE adapter combines full Gigabit Ethernet data throughput with a compact, single-port power solution. Its wide input voltage range makes it compatible with various power environments, and the device is intended to integrate cleanly into existing network installations without additional configuration. Built to support standard PoE power delivery for mid-power devices, it enables easy placement of network equipment in locations without nearby DC power outlets.

Suitable for

• Powering wireless access points that accept PoE and require up to mid-level power
• Supplying PoE to IP surveillance cameras in small and medium installations
• Providing power to compact PoE-enabled switches or network extenders
• Deployments where Gigabit Ethernet data rates (10/100/1000 Mbps) are needed alongside PoE

When it may not be suitable

This adapter supplies a limited current output (0.5 A) and is intended for devices that require mid-level PoE power. It may not be suitable for high-power PoE devices such as multi-radio outdoor access points, PoE-powered pan/tilt/zoom cameras with heaters, or any equipment whose power draw exceeds the adapter's output capability. Environments that require managed PoE functions (power scheduling, per-port monitoring, or remote power cycling) would be better served by managed PoE switches.

Key specifications

• Ethernet speed: 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• AC input voltage: 90–260 V, 47–63 Hz
• DC output current: 0.5 A
• PoE type: single-port PoE power adapter for compatible network devices
• Typical applications: access points, IP cameras, small PoE switches

How to use

Connect the adapter to a mains AC outlet within the supported 90–260 V range, then connect a Cat5e or better Ethernet cable between the adapter and the powered device. Ensure the network device is PoE-compatible and that its power requirements do not exceed the adapter's 0.5 A output. For Gigabit speeds, use cable and switch ports rated for 1000 Mbps. No additional configuration is required on typical passive PoE setups; follow the device manufacturer's installation instructions for mounting and grounding.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify the target device's PoE power requirement does not exceed the adapter's 0.5 A output.
• Confirm the powered device supports PoE delivery in the adapter's wiring method and voltage range.
• Ensure Ethernet cabling is Cat5e or higher to achieve Gigabit performance.
• Decide whether you need managed PoE features; this adapter does not provide per-port management.

Usage recommendations

Use UBIQUITI POE-24-12W-5P with PoE-compatible access points and cameras that list power consumption within the adapter's capacity. Install the adapter in a ventilated, dry location near a mains outlet and route Ethernet cables to avoid interference. For installations requiring centralized power management or higher power budgets, consider a dedicated PoE switch or midspan that matches the device power profile.
