PoE Adapters

Power over Ethernet (PoE) adapters inject DC power onto Cat5/6 cables to run devices like IP cameras, wireless access points or VoIP phones without extra power leads. When picking an adapter, match the PoE standard (802.3af, at or bt) to your device’s wattage and factor in cable length to minimise voltage drop. Be careful that some manufacturers like Starlink and Cambium have proprietary PoE wiring, meaning they don't follow an official IEEE standard. Check input requirements, 100–240 VAC or DC options, and output connectors (RJ45 or screw‐terminal styles). Single-port injectors are ideal for point installs, while multi-port units streamline larger jobs. If your cabling is exposed or outdoors, choose a model with built-in surge protection.

The right PoE adapter keeps installs neat, power budgets balanced and gear running reliably.
