TP-Link POE150S Gigabit PoE Injector Adapter
Overview
The POE150S is a compact midspan PoE injector that converts a standard non-PoE network port into a powered port by combining data and power onto a single Ethernet cable. This solves the problem of deploying powered devices (IP cameras, access points, VoIP phones) in spaces where separate power lines are unavailable or impractical—warehouses, retail ceilings, outdoor eaves, and remote office zones. The injector accepts input from any standard Gigabit switch or router and delivers up to 15.4W of power plus full-speed data to the end device over a single UTP run up to 328 feet (100 meters), eliminating the need for new electrical infrastructure.
Compatibility
The POE150S complies with IEEE 802.3af and works with any device rated for a maximum power draw of 15.4W—entry-level IP cameras (2–5MP domes and turrets), basic wireless access points (802.11ac-era), and VoIP phones. It is not compatible with PoE+ (802.3at, 30W) or PoE++ (802.3bt, 60–95W) devices such as high-power PTZ cameras, 4K turrets, or advanced dual-radio access points. Before ordering, verify the target device's power consumption on its nameplate or datasheet. The injector works transparently with any Gigabit Ethernet source—managed switches, unmanaged switches, PoE-aware VMS appliances, or standard routers. It is suitable for networks that use standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling; no special network configuration is required.
Installation Notes
Connect the LAN IN port to your switch or router, and connect the PoE OUT port to your end device using the supplied RJ45 cable or any standard UTP run up to 100 meters. The auto-sensing algorithm detects whether the end device is already PoE-powered and suppresses injection if power is present, reducing the risk of double-powering. No configuration is needed—the injector operates as a transparent Layer 2 pass-through. The compact plastic housing (80.8 × 54 × 24 mm) fits under desks, in ceiling tile spaces, or on a DIN rail. Operating temperature range is 0°C to 40°C (32°F to 104°F), limiting use in unheated outdoor cabinets; verify ambient conditions before deployment. The external 48VDC power adapter must remain accessible for power; no battery backup or redundant supply is provided.
