Your Network Upgrade Made Easy: Power & Data Over One Cable
No more cable clutter and searching for power outlets! With the Extralink 8 Port Gigabit PoE Injector, you revolutionize the power supply and data transmission of your Network devices. This powerful PoE Injector Gigabit allows you to operate up to eight PoE-enabled devices such as IP Cameras, WiFi Access Points, or VoIP Phones via a single Ethernet Cable. This means less effort in Cabling and more flexibility in placing your devices. Expand your Network efficiently and cost-effectively without having to replace your entire Ethernet Switch.
Intelligent Power Supply for Your Devices: Active PoE in Mode A
What is an active PoE Injector? It's simple: it's intelligent! Before power flows over the Ethernet cable, this Extralink Injector communicates with the connected device. This way, the correct voltage and power are negotiated, and non-PoE devices are protected from damage. This Extralink PoE Injector supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards, making it extremely versatile. Mode A PoE means that power and data are transmitted over the same wire pairs – with Gigabit Ethernet, all four wire pairs are used. This ensures that your devices are optimally powered.
Flexibility for Every Installation: Your Application Scenarios
Whether you're optimizing your home network or planning a professional installation, this 8 Port PoE Injector is your ideal partner. It's perfect for cost-effectively expanding an existing non-PoE network for operating IP Cameras, WiFi Access Points, or VoIP Phones. Imagine being able to power surveillance cameras or WiFi hotspots in locations where power outlets are hard to reach – such as in warehouses or outdoor areas. In smart home or office installations, it also significantly reduces cable clutter by bundling data and power over Ethernet. This not only improves aesthetics but also simplifies maintenance.
Important Details for Your Planning
Which devices is this 8 Port PoE Injector suitable for? It is ideal for all PoE-enabled devices that support 802.3af or 802.3at standards. Please note that the Extralink 8 Port Gigabit PoE Injector is supplied without a power adapter. You will need to purchase an external DC power supply (e.g., 44-57V DC) separately. Although the Injector supports 802.3at (PoE+), the maximum power per port is limited to approximately 30 watts. When simultaneously powering multiple very power-intensive devices, you should plan for a correspondingly strong external power supply or carefully check the power consumption.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Gigabit speed on all 8 ports for high-bandwidth applications.
- Pro: Active PoE negotiation and compatibility with 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE+) protects your devices.
- Pro: Simplified installation through simultaneous transmission of data and power supply over a single Ethernet cable.
- Note: An external power supply is not included and must be purchased separately.
- Note: The maximum power per port is limited to approx. 30 watts; for multiple power-intensive devices, careful planning or a stronger power supply is required.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is a PoE Injector and what is it needed for?
A PoE Injector (Power over Ethernet Injector) is a device that feeds data and electrical power into a single Ethernet cable. You need it to power PoE-enabled network devices such as IP Cameras, WiFi Access Points, or VoIP phones if you don't have a PoE-enabled switch or if your end device is too far from a power outlet.
Which PoE standards does the Extralink 8 Port Gigabit PoE Injector support?
Your Extralink 8 Port Gigabit PoE Injector supports the IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at (PoE+) standards. This allows you to power a wide range of PoE devices with varying power requirements.
Can I also operate non-PoE devices with this injector?
Your injector is designed to power PoE-enabled devices. If you connect a non-PoE device, it will not receive power, as the injector performs a negotiation before supplying power. For your non-PoE devices, you would need a PoE splitter, which separates the power from the data again.
Does the Extralink PoE Injector require a separate power supply?
Yes, your Extralink 8 Port Gigabit PoE Injector requires a separate power supply. It is not included in the scope of delivery, and you must purchase it to match the power requirements of your connected devices and the specifications of your injector (e.g., 48V output voltage).
How far can I power a PoE device with this injector?
By default, a PoE signal can be transmitted over an Ethernet cable up to 100 meters (approx. 328 feet). Within this distance, your Extralink Injector can reliably supply power and data to your PoE devices.
Is the Extralink 8 Port Gigabit PoE Injector active or passive?
Your Extralink 8 Port Gigabit PoE Injector is an active PoE Injector. This means that before supplying power, it performs a negotiation with the connected device to determine the power requirements and ensure that only PoE-enabled devices are supplied with the correct voltage.
