Industrial 2-port Gigabit Ethernet Switch PLANET IPOE-260-12V

PLANET IPOE-260-12V is an industrial 2-port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ injector that provides up to 36 W of power over Ethernet cables. Designed for industrial and transportation applications, it supplies both data and power via a single Cat5/5e/6 cable to compatible Powered Devices (PD) or PoE splitters, and is compatible with IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af standards. The unit accepts a wide DC input range (12–54 V) with onboard boost to 54 V, is housed in an IP30 rugged case, and supports DIN-rail or wall mounting for flexible deployment in harsh environments.

Advantages

The IPOE-260-12V enables installation of IP cameras, wireless access points and other PoE devices without nearby AC outlets by delivering up to 36 W per port over standard Ethernet cable, while remaining backward compatible with 802.3af devices at lower power. Its wide DC input range and built-in boost eliminate the need for special power supplies and support redundant or backup power schemes. The rugged IP30 housing and operating temperature range down to -40 °C make the unit suitable for electrically and climatically demanding locations.

Suitable for

• Powering outdoor/indoor IP cameras in locations without AC power
• Supplying PoE to wireless access points on campuses and public venues
• Industrial and transportation cabinets requiring DIN-rail or wall-mounted PoE injectors
• Deployments needing extended temperature range and ruggedized hardware

How to use

Connect the IPOE-260-12V to a DC power source within the specified 12–54 V range. Use Cat5/5e/6 Ethernet cables to connect the injector's RJ-45 ports to PoE-compatible devices or to a PoE splitter; data and power will be delivered on the same cable. Ensure the distance between injector and powered device or splitter does not exceed 100 m. For 802.3af devices the unit will negotiate lower power automatically.

Recommendations

Install the unit in a ventilated enclosure and follow local wiring and grounding regulations. Verify cable quality and maintain the 100 m maximum cable length for reliable power delivery. Use appropriate surge protection in outdoor or electrically noisy environments.
