PoE Adapter Trendnet TPE-219GI 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet PoE++ 95W

The TRENDnet TPE-219GI PoE Adapter provides a combined 2.5GBASE-T network connection and Power over Ethernet (PoE++) in a compact injector. Designed to convert a non-PoE 2.5G port into a 2.5G PoE++ port, the adapter supplies data and power over a single Ethernet cable to PoE devices up to 100 meters (328 ft.). The unit supports IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt standards and includes an integrated power supply with a total PoE budget of 90W (95W adapter rating).

Advantages

The TPE-219GI delivers multi-rate PoE compatibility—automatically providing PoE (15.4W), PoE+ (30W), or PoE++ (up to 90W) depending on the connected device. Its 2.5GBASE-T throughput increases bandwidth for compatible devices compared with standard gigabit PoE injectors, while the integrated power supply simplifies installation without requiring a separate power brick. The compact black housing and two RJ-45 ports allow straightforward integration into network racks or wall-mount setups.

Suitable for

• Powering and connecting wireless access points that require up to PoE++ power
• Supplying IP cameras, including high-power models
• Connecting VoIP phone systems and IPTV decoders
• Providing power and data to access control devices and other PoE equipment

How to use

Connect one Ethernet port of the TPE-219GI to a non-PoE switch or router using a Cat5e or better cable, and connect the other RJ-45 port to the PoE device you want to power. The injector will auto-sense the device class and deliver the appropriate PoE level. Ensure total power draw of connected devices does not exceed the adapter’s 90W PoE budget. Use standard Ethernet cabling and keep cable length within 100 meters for both data and power transmission.

Recommendations

Install the injector in a ventilated location away from direct heat sources, use quality Cat5e/6 cables for best 2.5G performance, and verify device compatibility with IEEE 802.3bt when connecting high-power PoE++ equipment. Monitor cumulative power consumption when deploying multiple powered devices on a single power source.
