PoE adapter Gembird NCAC-1U6-01 for Cat6 cables, white

Gembird NCAC-1U6-01 is a compact PoE adapter designed to deliver power over Cat6 Ethernet cabling. The adapter has a small white housing that can be integrated unobtrusively into network installations to provide power to devices that support Power over Ethernet. It is intended for situations where a localized PoE injector is needed to power cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones and other low-power network equipment using existing Cat6 UTP cabling.

Advantages

The adapter’s compact size and white finish make it easy to install in tight spaces or inconspicuous locations. It enables power delivery over standard Cat6 cable, reducing the need for separate power supplies and additional electrical wiring. Lightweight construction simplifies mounting and handling during installation while maintaining the passive function of passing PoE power to connected devices.

Suitable for (tasks / use cases)

When it may not be suitable

This adapter is intended for basic PoE power delivery and is not a full-featured managed injector or switch. It may not support higher power classes required by some modern access points or devices that need PoE+ or PoE++ power levels. For installations requiring power budget monitoring, surge protection, or advanced PoE management, a purpose-built PoE switch or managed injector should be used.

Key specifications

How to use

Connect the adapter inline with a Cat6 Ethernet cable between the network switch or data source and the PoE-capable device. Ensure cable terminations are correct and that the network switch or power source provides PoE. Place the adapter in a dry, ventilated location and avoid mounting it where it may be exposed to excessive heat or moisture. Verify device power requirements before connecting to prevent underpowering devices that require higher PoE classes.

What to consider before purchase

Recommendations

Use this PoE adapter for straightforward point-to-point connections where low-power PoE devices need power and where a compact, unobtrusive adapter is preferable. For higher-power devices or complex networks, choose appropriately rated PoE infrastructure and professional installation.
