Ubiquiti POE-24-7W-G-WH PoE Adapter
Overview
The Ubiquiti POE-24-7W-G-WH is a compact external Power over Ethernet adapter designed to supply 24VDC power to compatible Ubiquiti UISP-family network devices in field and remote installations. This model delivers 7W of power at 0.3A over a single Gigabit Ethernet port, making it suited for accessory and peripheral equipment that requires modest DC voltage without a separate power supply run.
The adapter maintains full Gigabit data passthrough while injecting DC power onto the same conductor pair, eliminating the need for dedicated power cabling in compact or difficult-to-access deployments. Its external form factor allows flexible placement in network cabinets, outdoor enclosures, or equipment racks where space or environmental constraints limit integrated PoE options. The unit weighs 0.160 lb and is manufactured to Ubiquiti standards.
Key Features
- 24VDC output at 0.3A: Delivers 7W total power budget — sufficient for low-power Ubiquiti accessories and sensors, but verify your endpoint device current draw before deployment. Exceeding this specification will cause the adapter to shut down or fail to power the connected device.
- Gigabit Ethernet passthrough: Full 1 Gbps data rate on the injected port means you won't sacrifice network throughput to gain power delivery. Useful for locations where bandwidth and power must coexist on the same cable run.
- AC/DC input: Accepts standard AC or DC input power, offering flexibility in fieldwork where only mains power or battery/backup supplies are available.
- Compact external design: Small footprint allows installation in tight cabinet spaces or outdoor enclosure mounting without internal chassis modifications. No integration with a switch or main controller required.
- UISP ecosystem integration: Designed specifically for Ubiquiti's UISP infrastructure line (surveillance, wireless, and access control). Verify compatibility with your specific UISP endpoint before ordering — power requirements vary across the family.
- Simplified field provisioning: Eliminates the need to run separate low-voltage DC power lines to remote devices, reducing installation labor and cable routing complexity in multi-device deployments.
Integration & Compatibility
The POE-24-7W-G-WH (often searched as POE 24 7W G WH) is purpose-built for Ubiquiti UISP-family devices that accept 24VDC input at the specified amperage. Before deployment, confirm that your endpoint device supports 24VDC and will draw no more than 0.3A (7W) — exceeding this power envelope will cause supply exhaustion or device reboot. Compatible devices may include low-power UISP network cameras, wireless access points, or outdoor accessories in the Ubiquiti catalog.
This adapter is not suitable for high-power cameras, NVRs, or switched equipment that require Class 3+ PoE budgets (25W or higher). If your deployment includes multiple devices or a mix of power requirements, consult Ubiquiti's power planning documentation or a systems integrator familiar with UISP deployments to avoid undersizing.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Can the POE-24-7W-G-WH power a standard 802.3af PoE device?
A: No. This adapter outputs 24VDC, not the 48VDC or 12VDC standard to 802.3af and 802.3at PoE. It is designed exclusively for Ubiquiti UISP devices that are rated for 24VDC input. Connecting it to a standard PoE endpoint will result in device malfunction or damage.
Q: What happens if I try to power a device that draws more than 0.3A?
A: The adapter has a 7W power ceiling (24V × 0.3A). Attempting to draw more current will cause the adapter to thermal-throttle, shut down, or fail to supply adequate voltage to the device. Always verify endpoint current draw before deployment.
Q: Does the POE-24-7W-G-WH require special cabling?
A: No. Standard Cat5e or Cat6 Ethernet cable works with this adapter. The power is injected onto the same conductors that carry data, so no separate power cable is needed — a primary advantage in remote or aerial installations.
Q: Is the Ubiquiti POE-24-7W-G-WH compatible with non-Ubiquiti devices?
A: Not reliably. The adapter is engineered for UISP-family products. Attempting to use it with third-party equipment that accepts 24VDC may succeed in voltage, but lack of firmware or circuit-level integration could cause unpredictable behavior or damage.
Q: Can I daisy-chain multiple POE-24-7W-G-WH adapters on the same network?
A: Not recommended. Each adapter injects power onto a single Gigabit port. If you require power delivery to multiple devices, use separate adapter instances or integrate with a Ubiquiti switch that supports built-in PoE injection — consult your systems architecture to avoid power conflicts.

The Ubiquiti POE-24-7W-G-WH is a niche but essential adapter for integrators deploying Ubiquiti UISP infrastructure where low-power accessories need field power without a separate DC supply. The 7W budget and 24VDC output are specifically calibrated for UISP endpoints — this is not a generic PoE injector.
Technical Highlights:
- 24VDC @ 0.3A (7W max): Tightly specified for UISP gear. Oversizing to a standard PoE+ or PoE++ adapter will damage 24VDC endpoints; undersizing (drawing more than 7W) will shut down the supply. Measurement and verification of endpoint current draw is non-negotiable before deployment.
- Gigabit Ethernet passthrough: Full 1 Gbps throughput on the power-injected port means no network bottleneck. Relevant for video or high-bandwidth UISP devices that also require power delivery over the same line.
- AC/DC input flexibility: Accepts mains or battery/backup DC, allowing installation in field sites where only alternating current or backup power supplies are available — a practical advantage for solar or off-grid UISP camera deployments.
Deployment Considerations:
- Verify UISP device power ratings before purchase. The POE-24-7W-G-WH is not interchangeable with standard PoE or 12VDC adapters — incompatible voltage will fail silently or cause device damage.
- 7W is modest. High-current accessories, powered access control nodes, or outdoor wireless equipment often exceed this budget. Know your endpoint draw specification before commissioning.
- Each adapter services a single Gigabit port. Multi-device UISP installations require either separate adapters (increasing cable clutter) or a Ubiquiti switch with native PoE injection — evaluate architecture early to avoid rework.
Position the POE-24-7W-G-WH for small-footprint UISP surveillance or wireless field setups where a single low-power endpoint needs power delivery without cabinet space or mains conditioning. It's a solid fit for remote wireless bridges, compact IP cameras, or gate sensors — not a general-purpose PoE tool.
