Reliable 15V Power Supply for Your Ubiquiti Classics
The Ubiquiti POE-15-12W is no ordinary PoE adapter. It is the lifeline for many proven Ubiquiti devices that require a specific 15V Passive PoE voltage. If you operate an existing infrastructure with components like airMAX ac Components or older UniFi Access Points, this injector ensures that your devices continue to be powered stably and reliably. Instead of replacing expensive hardware, you can easily and cost-effectively extend the lifespan of your Network with this injector. It is the perfect solution to integrate a single device into an existing Network that does not yet offer PoE functionality.
Integrated Protection: More Than Just Power
In a Network, unforeseen events like power surges or electrostatic discharges (ESD) can cause devastating damage. The POE-15-12W is equipped with a comprehensive protection package to prevent exactly that. It offers protection against overvoltage (both differential and common mode), current spikes, and features a clamping voltage circuit. Grounding is safely done via the AC power cable, effectively protecting your connected IP Cameras or UniFi Access Points from the most common causes of electronic damage. Rely on a Power Supply that thinks ahead.
Easy Installation Without Compromises
The greatest strength of Power over Ethernet is the simplification of installation. With the POE-15-12W, you only need a single Ethernet Cable to mount your end device in places where no power outlet is available – be it on a mast, under a roof overhang, or on a ceiling. The compact and lightweight design makes placing the injector a breeze. It is an indispensable tool from the category of PoE Injectors / Power Supplies and a must-have as Ubiquiti Accessories for every Network admin.
Important Notes: Passive PoE and 100 Mbps Limitation
Transparency is important to us: This injector uses passive PoE. This means it constantly applies 15V voltage without first checking if the connected device is compatible. Therefore, please connect only devices that are explicitly designed for 15V Passive PoE to avoid damage. Additionally, the data throughput is limited to 10/100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). For devices requiring a Gigabit connection, this injector is not suitable as it would throttle the speed. It is the perfect, specialized solution for compatible devices in a 100 Mbps environment.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Offers robust protection against overvoltage and ESD.
- Pro: Ideal and stable Power Supply for older Ubiquiti devices.
- Pro: Simplifies installations by combining power and data.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Ubiquiti POE-15-12W compatible with every PoE device?
No, absolutely not. It provides 15V passive PoE and should only be used with devices explicitly designed for this voltage, such as certain older Ubiquiti airMAX or UniFi Access Points models. Connecting it to an incompatible device can destroy it.
Can I establish a Gigabit connection with the POE-15-12W?
No, the ports of this PoE Injector are limited to 10/100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet). It will limit the speed of any connected device to a maximum of 100 Mbps, even if the Network is otherwise Gigabit-capable.
How do I correctly connect the PoE Injector?
Connect an Ethernet Cable from your Router or Ethernet Switch to the 'LAN' port of the PoE Injector. A second Ethernet Cable runs from the 'POE' port to the end device. Finally, connect the power cable to the PoE Injector and a power outlet.
What does 'passive PoE' mean for this model?
Passive PoE means that the PoE Injector constantly supplies 15V voltage to the Ethernet line as soon as it is plugged in. Unlike secure, active PoE (Standard 802.3af/at), no check is performed to determine if the end device requires the voltage.
Does the POE-15-12W have a reset button?
No, this specific PoE Injector model does not have a button for remote resetting the connected device. This function is found on other Ubiquiti PoE Injectors, but not on this one.
Why should I use this PoE Injector instead of a PoE Switch?
A single PoE Injector is a cost-effective and simple solution when only one or two devices need to be powered. It is ideal for small installations or to add a single PoE device to an existing non-PoE Network.
