HPE Aruba Networking AP-POE-AFGE 1-Port GbE 802.3af 15.4W Injector

The HPE Aruba Networking AP-POE-AFGE 1-Port GbE 802.3af 15.4W Injector is a compact midspan power injector designed to supply Power over Ethernet (PoE) to a single network device through a Gigabit Ethernet port. Built to work with devices that require up to 15.4 watts, this PoE injector adheres to IEEE 802.3af power delivery specifications and is intended for straightforward, space-efficient deployments where separate power sources for network endpoints are impractical.

Advantages

This PoE injector provides standardized power delivery complying with IEEE 802.3af, ensuring interoperability with a wide range of PoE-capable devices. Its single GbE port and compact footprint simplify installation in constrained spaces and reduce cabling complexity by combining power and data over one Ethernet link. The low weight and small dimensions make it easy to mount or position near network equipment, while the fixed power output of 15.4W is appropriate for many wireless access points, IP telephones, and small network devices.

Suitable for

• Powering a single wireless access point that requires up to 15.4W
• Providing PoE to IP telephones and small VoIP devices
• Supplying power to compact network devices in office or retail environments
• Deployments where a single-port midspan injector is preferred over PoE switches

Key specifications

• PoE standard: IEEE 802.3af (provides up to 15.4W)
• Network interface: 1 × Gigabit Ethernet port
• Form factor: inline midspan injector for single-port use
• Physical dimensions: approximately 30 mm (W) × 51 mm (D) × 163 mm (H)
• Weight: approximately 0.0454 kg

How to use

Connect the injector between the network switch and the powered device by linking the switch to the injector's data input and the device to the injector's PoE-enabled Ethernet output. Ensure the powered device supports IEEE 802.3af or is compatible with 15.4W PoE. Power the injector from a mains outlet according to local electrical standards, and verify link/activity indicators on both the injector and the endpoint to confirm network connectivity and power negotiation. For safety, power down equipment before making or changing connections when required by installation environment.

Recommendations

Install the injector in a well-ventilated, dry location away from heat sources and moisture. Use quality Ethernet cabling (Cat5e or higher) to preserve Gigabit performance and ensure reliable power delivery. Confirm that the total power budget and device power class match the injector's 15.4W output to avoid underpowering endpoints. For multiple devices, use a PoE switch or multiple injectors rather than chaining devices.
