PoE adapter Wantec 5800

The Wantec 5800 PoE adapter provides Power over Ethernet functionality while supporting Ethernet LAN data rates of 10 and 100 Mbit/s. Compliant with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, the adapter is designed to deliver power and data over structured cabling and extends the usable distance for powered devices up to a maximum of 500 meters. Its compact enclosure measures 99 mm × 58 mm × 35 mm and includes two RJ-45 Ethernet LAN ports, allowing integration into small-scale and extended network layouts where space is limited.

Advantages

The Wantec 5800 combines compatibility with common PoE standards and support for 10/100 Mbit/s Ethernet, enabling straightforward connection of legacy and modern network devices that require PoE. The extended operating distance of up to 500 meters makes it suitable for installations where devices are located further from switches or central power sources. Its compact dimensions and light weight simplify placement in rack, wall, or ceiling mounting scenarios where space constraints exist.

Suitable for

• Extending PoE to remote network devices such as access points and IP cameras
• Small office or branch installations with limited rack or enclosure space
• Retrofit projects that require 10/100 Mbit/s PoE compatibility
• Environments needing longer reach for powered devices up to 500 meters

Key specifications

• Supported Ethernet data rates: 10/100 Mbit/s
• PoE standards: IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at compliant
• Maximum operating distance: up to 500 meters
• Ethernet LAN ports: 2 × RJ-45
• Dimensions (W × D × H): 99 mm × 58 mm × 35 mm
• Weight: 0.142 kg

How to use

Connect one RJ-45 port to an upstream switch or injector and the other to the PoE-powered device using standard Ethernet cabling. Ensure that the connected switch or injector provides PoE power according to IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at if power sourcing is required. Observe proper cabling practices and verify link speed compatibility for 10/100 Mbit/s operation. Position the adapter within its specified environmental conditions and route cables to maintain signal integrity over extended runs.

Recommendations

For reliable operation over long distances, use quality Category-rated cabling and minimize the number of inline connectors. Confirm power budget and device power class when deploying multiple powered devices on the same network to ensure the IEEE 802.3af/at supply meets demand. When mounting the adapter, allow for adequate ventilation and avoid exposure to moisture or extreme temperatures.
