Adaptor PoE PLANET POE-163

The PLANET POE-163 is a compact, wall-mountable single-port Gigabit PoE+ injector with an internal power supply that delivers Ethernet data and up to 30 W of power over a single Cat.5E/6 cable. Compliant with IEEE 802.3at/af standards, the POE-163 enables simple deployment of IP cameras, wireless access points and VoIP phones in locations where AC power outlets are not available, offering a space-saving and easy-to-install solution for home and business users.

Advantages

The POE-163 provides up to 30 watts of power while supporting Gigabit Ethernet speeds, in an all-in-one compact housing with internal AC input (100–240 V). It is plug-and-play with no software configuration required and includes LED indicators for power and PoE activity. Its design reduces cabling and eliminates the need for separate power wiring for powered devices, simplifying installation and lowering overall deployment cost.

Suitable for

• IP cameras, including PTZ and speed-dome models
• Wireless access points (indoor and some high-power outdoor APs)
• VoIP phones and other IEEE 802.3af/at powered devices (PDs)
• Network locations lacking nearby AC power outlets

Key specifications

• Standards: IEEE 802.3at (PoE+), IEEE 802.3af, IEEE 802.3ab (Gigabit), IEEE 802.3u, IEEE 802.3
• Data rate: 10/100/1000 Mbps (Gigabit Ethernet)
• PoE power output: up to 30 W to a single PD
• AC input: 100–240 V, 50/60 Hz (internal power supply)
• Maximum cable distance: up to 100 m over Cat.5E/6
• Indicators: System POWER and PoE ACTIVE LEDs
• Dimensions: 115 x 62.5 x 31 mm; Weight: 0.185 kg
• Colour: Black
• MPN / EAN: POE-163 / 4711213689345

How to use

Mount the POE-163 on a wall or place it on a flat surface, connect the AC power cord to the built-in 100–240 V input, and plug a Cat.5E/6 Ethernet cable from your network switch or router into the LAN port. Connect the other Ethernet cable from the POE port to your PoE-enabled device (for example, an IP camera, AP or VoIP phone). The device will receive both data and power through the single cable; check the POWER and PoE ACTIVE LEDs to confirm operation.

Recommendations

The POE-163 is intended for use with IEEE 802.3af/at-compliant powered devices. For optimal performance, use Cat.5E or Cat.6 cabling and keep cable runs within 100 meters. Confirm the powered device's power requirements do not exceed the 30 W output of the injector.
