Microconnect 30 W PoE Injector – 802.3af/at, UK (POEINJ-30W-UK)

The Microconnect POEINJ-30W-UK is a single‑port Gigabit PoE adapter with two RJ45 ports: one for Ethernet data input and one for combined data and power output. It accepts AC input 100–240 V, 50–60 Hz and provides a DC PoE output (48 V nominal) up to 30 W. The device injects power into a standard Ethernet cable so powered devices that comply with IEEE 802.3af/at, such as wireless access points, network cameras, VoIP phones and industrial network terminals, can receive both data and power over a single cable. The adapter requires a separate network switch for data and does not perform switching itself.

Advantages

The POEINJ-30W-UK combines data and power on one cable to simplify installation where mains power is unavailable at the remote device. Its Gigabit Ethernet support and compatibility with IEEE 802.3af/at standards ensure reliable power delivery for a wide range of network devices. Compact dimensions and standard RJ45 connectors make integration into existing network setups straightforward, and CE/FCC certification confirms conformity with relevant safety and EMC requirements.

Suitable for

• Wireless access points (APs)
• Network/IP cameras
• VoIP phones
• Industrial Ethernet terminals and sensors
• Network devices requiring up to 30 W PoE power

How to use

Connect the Ethernet cable from your network switch to the data input RJ45 port on the POEINJ-30W-UK. Plug the powered output RJ45 port into the PoE‑capable device. Connect the adapter to AC mains (100–240 V) using the supplied power cord. Ensure the network switch provides the required data link; the adapter only injects power and does not switch network traffic. Verify the remote device supports IEEE 802.3af/at and check device LEDs or management interfaces to confirm power and link status.

Recommendations

Use shielded or good‑quality Cat5e/Cat6 cabling for runs up to 100 m to maintain Gigabit performance. Avoid routing Ethernet cables near high‑voltage power lines to reduce interference. For installations with multiple PoE devices, ensure your network switch and power budget accommodate the combined power draw.
