TL-POE160S PoE+ Injector

The TP-Link TL-POE160S PoE+ Injector is a powerful and versatile device designed to simplify network installations by supplying both data and higher-power electrical current to compatible network devices over a single Ethernet cable. It’s an upgrade from standard PoE injectors, offering more power for demanding devices.

Here’s a detailed description of its features and capabilities:

TP-Link TL-POE160S PoE+ Injector – Overview:

The TL-POE160S is an IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) compliant PoE injector. This means it adheres to a widely adopted standard that allows for significantly more power delivery than the older 802.3af standard. It can supply up to 30 Watts of power, making it suitable for a newer generation of power-hungry PoE Powered Devices (PDs) such as high-performance IP cameras (e.g., PTZ cameras), Wi-Fi 6 access points, and advanced VoIP phones. Like other active PoE injectors, it intelligently negotiates power requirements with the connected device, ensuring safe and efficient operation.

Key Features and Specifications:

• Gigabit Ethernet Speed Support: Equipped with two 10/100/1000Mbps RJ45 ports.
• Auto-Sensing Algorithm (Intelligent Power Negotiation): A key benefit of standard-compliant PoE injectors. The TL-POE160S automatically detects whether the connected device is PoE/PoE+ compatible and determines the exact power requirements, preventing damage to non-PoE devices and ensuring optimal power delivery.
• Plug-and-Play Installation: As an unmanaged device, the TL-POE160S requires no complex configuration or software installation. Simply connect the Ethernet cables and the power cord, and it functions immediately. This makes deployment quick and hassle-free, even for users with limited networking knowledge.
• Extended Transmission Distance: It can reliably deliver both power and data over a standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or Cat6 recommended) for distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). This provides considerable flexibility in placing network devices in locations far from traditional power outlets.
