PoE (Power over Ethernet) is a technology used to safely pass electrical power, along with data, over Ethernet cabling. By using free wires in the Ethernet cabling, PoE is a new exciting technology.
By using PoE you can easily extend the range (30 metres) of your Ethernet devices without the need for a seperate power cable (to the loft, the conservatory etc.).
Compatible with all types of different devices such as IP telephones, IP cameras, wireless LAN access points and much more.
Got an approx. 12m CAT6 cable going to a switch to a room and I wanted it to be powered by my UPS in the source room. I connected these adapters up and they work wonderfully.
Although the specifications indicate that it works up to 30 meters in length, it didn't work with a 10-meter cable and an 8-port switch. Finally, it worked perfectly with a 8-meter cable and a 5-port switch. Good support from Akord.
Works great, now i have my access point in the loft with the power adaptor in the lounge, plugged straight in a tplink product. very good value for money
