With the Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G Indoor Gigabit PoE Converterfrom Ubiquiti Networks, it is easy to convert a standard PoE-compatible device to accept devices using the 802.3af PoE network standard. In addition to 802.3af PoE support, this converter also supports Gigabit data transfer rates, features enhanced surge protection capabilities, and supports longer cable runs to both airMAX and UniFi devices.

802.3af PoE Support    2 x RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet Ports    48V / 802.3af Power Input    24V / 0.5A Max Power Output    24V Passive PoE Power Method    ± 15kV Surge Protection    Ubiquiti Compatibility    Longer Cable Runs

The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter works with 10/100/1000 Mbps ports to deliver high throughput speeds over its wired connection.

The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter integrates seamlessly with a variety of auto-sensing 802.3af PoE switches for remote power control applications. As you manage and monitor your network, you can conveniently power or power cycle your remote devices using your 802.3af switch.

For ease of power management, you can centralize the 802.3af switch and power source, and you can include a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) as a backup. This way your network continues to run even during a temporary power outage.

The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter is compatible with most Ubiquiti PoE devices using 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet ports. Compatible products include airMAX and UniFi devices.

High voltage carries power more efficiently (using less current) than low voltage. The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter enables longer cable runs due to a more efficient power delivery–so your products can get the power they require even when they are located far from the 802.3af switch.

The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter provides an additional ±15kV of Ethernet isolation for built-in protection that lessens the risk of ESD or surge damage to your devices.

Related Questions and Answers

Q: 1. is PoE adapter the same as PoE injector?

A: Yes, this device is a POE injector. It can be used to power cameras.

Q: 2. If a 10Gbit Ethernet port is connected the to input of this device will the POE port be limited to 1Gbit or is 2.5Gbit possible?

A: Yes, If you used the Ubiquiti Networks 50V PoE Adapter with Gigabit LAN Port on a 10Gbit network the speeds would drop to gigabit speeds.

Q: 3. Is this product backwards compatible with IEEE 802.3af devices?

A: The Ubiquiti Networks 50V PoE Adapter with Gigabit LAN Port BH #UBPOE5060W is backward compatible with 802.3af devices.

Q: 4. I have a TPSCPOE 1248 solar powered PoE injector. It does 48V, .625A output, which makes it line up with 802.3at standard. I need the output to go to 24V passive poe for an access point. Would this work for that?

A: Indeed it will as that is what it is designed to do. From the Quick Start guide: PoE In Gigabit 802.3af PoE port: Connect this port to an auto-sensing 802.3af PoE Switch. The switch will automatically activate PoE. PoE Out Gigabit 24V passive PoE port: Connect this port to a 24V passive PoE device.

Q: 5. Does this support VLAN?

A: Yes, the Ubiquiti UISP-R supports VLAN.

Q: 6. can this power the Unifi AC-IW? https://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1296864-REG/ubiquiti_networks_uap_ac_iw_us_uap_ac_iw_unifi_access_point.html

A: Yes. The Ubiquiti Networks 48V PoE Adapter B&H # UBPOE4824W will power the Ubiquiti Networks UAP-AC-IW-US UniFi Access Point Enterprise Wi-Fi System BH #UBUAPACIWUS.

Q: 7. is injector and adapter one in the same?

A: Depending on the manufacturer YES

Q: 8. I have the ubiquity edge router er-x that takes 24v passive input ( I guess that is something non standard). If I buy a ubiquity 8 port switch that has active PoE (802.3af) can I use this adapter to then power the router through PoE using the switch as the ‘power source’?

A: Yes this would work.

Q: 9. Does this support being plugged into a 220V socket?

A: It says it has an input of 100 - 240V. So as long as you have a plug that fits the socket for 220V you would be ok. It comes with the 110 plug.

Q: 10. Is this POE injector 802.3at compliant?

A: Yes, this will be 802.3at compliant.
