Network Switch PLANET IPOE-171-95W Gigabit Ethernet Power over Ethernet

PLANET IPOE-171-95W is an industrial single-port 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE++) injector that delivers up to 95 W of DC power over standard Cat5e/6 twisted-pair cables while providing two 100M/1G/2.5G/5GBASE-T RJ45 copper interfaces for high-speed data transmission. The unit accepts a wide DC input range and is designed for industrial and transportation environments where higher power is required for connected network devices.

Advantages

The IPOE-171-95W supplies 95 watts over all four pairs of Ethernet cable, supports legacy and force modes for compatibility with non-standard PDs, and uses a 12–48 V DC input with onboard boost to 54 V to avoid the need for special power supplies. It features dual-redundant reversible-polarity DC inputs, compact IP30 metal housing with DIN-rail or wall-mount options, and multi-level LED indicators for power input and real-time PoE power usage, enabling easy monitoring and reliable operation in harsh environments.

Suitable for

• Network lighting systems
• All-in-one touch PCs
• Remote digital signage displays
• High-power IP cameras and wireless access points

How to use

Connect a compatible DC power source (12–48 V DC) to the redundant DC input terminals, then plug an Ethernet cable from the IPOE-171-95W Ethernet+DC port to the powered device or to an IPOE-173S PoE splitter if the PD requires separate data and DC outputs. Use the second RJ45 port for network uplink. The device operates plug-and-play without software configuration; use the mode switch to select Legacy or Force mode when powering non-standard PDs.

Recommendations

For reliable delivery of full 95 W, use Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and keep cable runs within 100 meters. Monitor the front-panel PoE power usage LEDs to verify power draw, and use the dual-redundant DC inputs in critical installations to improve availability.
