Network Switch PLANET IPOE-162 Gigabit Ethernet Power over Ethernet

The PLANET IPOE-162 is a single-port mid-span Gigabit Ethernet Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector designed to deliver up to 30 W (IEEE 802.3at) or 15.4 W (IEEE 802.3af) to a powered device over a single Cat5/5e/6 cable. It provides simultaneous data and power transmission over one RJ-45 cable to PoE PDs or PoE splitters, with a maximum link distance of 100 meters. The unit accepts a wide DC input range (12–48 V) and boosts the voltage to 56 V DC for PoE output, making it suitable for industrial and transportation applications where standard power supplies are required.

Advantages

The IPOE-162 supports IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af standards to supply higher power devices such as PTZ network cameras, multi-channel wireless access points and color touch-screen VoIP phones while remaining backward compatible with lower-power PoE equipment. Its wide input voltage range (12–48 V DC) with onboard boost to 56 V eliminates the need for specialized power sources and supports dual or backup power configurations. Built to industrial specifications, the injector offers extended operating temperature (-40 to 75 °C), surge and EMI immunity, and an IP30 metal housing that can be DIN-rail or wall mounted for flexible installation.

Suitable for

• PTZ and speed-dome network cameras
• Color touch-screen VoIP telephones
• Multi-channel (11a/b/g/n) wireless LAN access points
• PoE splitters and other IEEE 802.3at/af powered devices

How to use

Connect the injector's uplink RJ-45 port to your network switch or router and connect the PoE-enabled device to the injector's downlink RJ-45 port. Supply the IPOE-162 with an appropriate 12–48 V DC source; the device will boost the input to 56 V DC for PoE output. Ensure the total power requirements of the connected PD do not exceed the supported PoE class (30 W for 802.3at, 15.4 W for 802.3af). Keep cable length within 100 meters between injector and powered device or PoE splitter.

Recommendations

For reliable operation in industrial or outdoor cabinet environments, use properly rated shielded Cat5e/6 cables, provide redundant DC power where required, and mount the IPOE-162 on DIN-rail or a ventilated wall panel to maintain airflow and temperature limits.
