Network Switch PLANET POE-172 Gigabit Ethernet Power over Ethernet Black

The PLANET POE-172 is a single-port Gigabit Ultra Power over Ethernet (Ultra PoE) injector that supplies up to 60 watts of DC power together with high-speed Ethernet data over standard Cat.5e/Cat.6 cabling. The unit is an all-in-one, compact injector with an internal power supply and two RJ45 ports (LAN and PoE) to simplify network deployment for devices that require higher power than standard PoE.

Advantages

The POE-172 delivers up to 60 watts over all four twisted pairs of Ethernet cable, maintaining compatibility with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards while extending power capability for higher-demand devices. Its compact plug-and-play design requires no software configuration, features a universal 100–240V AC input, status LEDs for power and PoE activity, and supports up to 100 meters of data and power delivery when used with the matching POE-171S splitter (12V/19V/24V outputs).

Suitable for

• PTZ speed dome cameras and other high-power IP cameras
• All-in-one (AIO) touch PCs and thin clients that accept DC input
• Remote digital signage and displays
• Wireless access points and network devices requiring higher than standard PoE power

How to use

Connect the POE-172 LAN port to your network switch or router using an Ethernet cable, then connect the powered device or the POE-171S splitter to the PoE port. Plug the injector into an AC outlet using the built-in power input. The device will automatically detect and supply power and data over the Ethernet cable without additional configuration. When using the POE-171S splitter, choose the appropriate DC output (12V/19V/24V) for the powered device.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat.5e or Cat.6 cables and keep each powered device within the 100 m maximum cable length. Verify device power requirements before connecting to ensure the combined power draw does not exceed the 60 W output. For installations requiring DC connectors or different voltage levels, use the recommended POE-171S splitter to obtain 12V, 19V, or 24V outputs.
