Adaptor PoE Trendnet TPE-215GI

The TRENDnet TPE-215GI PoE adapter supplies electrical power together with a 2.5GBASE-T network connection to create a 2.5G PoE+ link. It supports IEEE PoE and PoE+ power delivery with an available PoE budget of up to 30 W and transmits data at up to 2.5 Gbps over Cat5e or better cabling. The compact, metal-bodied injector is designed for wall-mount installations and includes LED indicators for power, PoE and network status.

Advantages

The TPE-215GI provides simultaneous data and power over a single Ethernet cable up to 100 m, supports both PoE (15.4 W) and PoE+ (30 W) devices with auto-sensing power negotiation, and delivers faster-than-gigabit network speeds (2.5G) using existing Cat5e cabling. Its sturdy metal enclosure and wall-mount form factor simplify installation in varied locations while LED indicators make status monitoring straightforward.

Suitable for

• Powering wireless access points and Wi‑Fi 6/6E access points that require higher throughput
• Supplying power and data to IP surveillance cameras
• Connecting VoIP phones and small office telephony equipment
• Providing power and network to IPTV decoders and access control devices

How to use

Connect the injector's data-only RJ-45 port to a non-PoE switch or router and connect the PoE+ RJ-45 port to the PoE/PoE+ device using a single Ethernet cable. Ensure cable runs do not exceed 100 m. No configuration is required — the injector will auto-sense the connected device and deliver the appropriate PoE or PoE+ wattage. Use the LED indicators to verify power and network connectivity during setup.

Recommendations

Install the injector in a dry, ventilated location and mount it on a wall or other stable surface. Use Cat5e or higher rated cabling for best 2.5G performance and ensure the combined power draw of connected devices does not exceed the injector's 30 W PoE budget.
