PLANET IPOE-270 network switch Power over Ethernet PoE 4 RJ-45 ports

The PLANET IPOE-270 is a compact, industrial 2-port mid-span IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ injector hub that supplies up to 90 W per port over standard Cat5e/6 UTP cabling, with a total PoE budget of 180 W. Designed to upgrade existing Ethernet networks without replacing switches, the IPOE-270 injects both power and data to remote 802.3bt/at powered devices (PDs) and supports link speeds from 10/100/1G to 2.5G/5GBASE-T for robust data transmission in industrial and transportation environments.

Advantages

The IPOE-270 delivers high-power PoE++ (IEEE 802.3bt) using all four cable pairs, enabling up to 90 W per PD and three times the power of conventional 802.3at PoE+. It provides a total 180 W PoE budget across two PoE++ ports, supports a wide DC input range (12–54 V for the IPOE-270-12V model) with power-boost capability, and offers real-time LED indicators for power input and PoE usage levels. The unit is compact, wall-mountable, supports plug-and-play installation, and operates reliably in harsh conditions from -40 to 75 °C.

Suitable for

• Powering PoE PTZ speed‑dome and other high-power surveillance cameras
• Supplying network devices and thin clients in industrial or transportation setups
• Powering AIO touch PCs, POS terminals and information kiosks
• Driving remote digital signage displays and PoE lighting
• Extending PoE over longer distances when used with PoE extenders

How to use

Install the IPOE-270 between an existing Ethernet switch and target powered devices. Connect the switch uplink to the data input ports and connect PDs to the PoE++ output ports using Cat5e/6 cables. Provide DC power to the unit via its dual power inputs; the device will boost and regulate input voltage as required (12–54 V input for the 12 V model). Monitor the front-panel LEDs to verify power input status and real-time PoE usage indicators (60 W, 120 W, 180 W thresholds).

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e or Cat6 cabling and, for deployments longer than 100 meters, pair the IPOE-270 with compatible PLANET PoE extenders. Ensure the connected power source can supply sufficient current for the total PoE budget, and keep installation clear of excessive electromagnetic interference or direct exposure to liquid for reliable long-term operation.
