Your Power Upgrade for Every Network
Forget cable clutter and searching for power outlets! With the Extralink 8-Port Gigabit PoE Injector Mode B, you'll take your Network to the next level. This smart PoE Injector reliably supplies up to eight of your Network devices with power and lightning-fast data via a single Ethernet Cable. Whether you want to expand your surveillance system, install VoIP Phones, or place WLAN Access Points in hard-to-reach locations – this Midspan Injector makes it possible. It's the perfect, cost-effective solution to modernize your Network infrastructure without having to invest in expensive PoE Switches.
Maximum Flexibility for Your Devices
The Extralink 8-Port Gigabit PoE Injector Mode B shines with its versatility. With a flexible DC Power input voltage of 12V-57V (up to 60V), it adapts optimally to your needs. This means you can use various power supplies to optimally power your IP Cameras, VoIP Phones, or WLAN Access Points. The 8 Port configuration with Gigabit Ethernet (10/100/1000 Mbps) ensures smooth data transmission, even with high data volumes. This keeps your Network consistently powerful.
Simplicity Meets Performance: Your Application Scenarios
Imagine: You want to install eight new IP Cameras in your office, but your existing Ethernet Switch has no PoE ports. No problem! With this PoE Injector, you simply feed data from the switch and send it along with power to your cameras. Or you plan to distribute several WLAN Access Points in a large building to ensure comprehensive coverage. The Extralink Injector enables a central power supply and significantly reduces installation effort. Even for temporary setups on construction sites or events where fast and flexible network solutions are required, this network injector is ideal thanks to its adaptable DC Power.
Important Details on Passive PoE Mode B
This PoE Injector operates with passive PoE Mode B. This means it supplies power over the unused wire pairs of the Ethernet Cable (pins 4/5 for positive and 7/8 for negative). It's important that your end devices explicitly support passive PoE in Mode B and can tolerate the voltage you provide. Unlike active PoE injectors, this injector does not communicate with the end device beforehand. So, make sure your devices are compatible to avoid damage. A suitable external power supply (not included) is essential for operation to ensure the data and power supply of your devices.
Strengths & Notes at a Glance
- Pro: Cost-effectiveness: Enables powering PoE devices via existing Ethernet Cables, without the need for an expensive PoE switch.
- Pro: Gigabit Speed: Supports 10/100/1000 Mbps Ethernet data rates, ideal for high-bandwidth applications like IP video surveillance or fast WLAN Access Points.
- Pro: Flexible Power Supply (Passive): Accepts a wide range of DC Power input voltages (12V to 57V / up to 60V), increasing compatibility with various power supplies and devices operating in Mode B.
- Note: No active 802.3af/at negotiation: As a passive PoE injector, the device does not perform active voltage negotiation with the end device according to IEEE 802.3af/at. Connected devices must be able to directly tolerate the voltage applied to the injector, otherwise there is a risk of damage.
- Note: External Power Supply Required: The injector itself is supplied without a power supply. A suitable external DC Power supply (with 2.1mm barrel connector) must be purchased separately and adapted to the requirements of the devices to be powered.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
What is the difference between an active and a passive PoE injector?
An active PoE injector (e.g., 802.3af/at-compliant) communicates with your connected device to negotiate the required voltage and power before applying power, which protects your device from damage. A passive PoE injector, like this Extralink 8-Port injector, applies the full input voltage directly to the PoE pins without prior negotiation.
Which devices can I power with the Extralink 8-Port Gigabit PoE Injector Mode B?
You can power devices that accept passive PoE in Mode B (power on pins 4/5 (+) and 7/8 (-)) and can tolerate the applied voltage. This typically includes IP cameras, VoIP phones, and WLAN access points designed for passive PoE or that can be operated with an external power supply matching the voltage applied to the injector.
Do I need a special power supply for this PoE injector?
Yes, this passive PoE injector is supplied without a power adapter. You will need an external DC power supply with a 2.1mm barrel connector, whose voltage (12V to 57V / up to 60V) and power (watts) must be matched to the requirements of your connected PoE devices.
What does 'Mode B' mean for a PoE injector?
Mode B in PoE means that power is supplied over the unused wire pairs of your Ethernet cable. In Gigabit Ethernet, where all four wire pairs are used for data, the power lines (pins 4/5 for positive and 7/8 for negative) are transmitted together with the data on the same wire pairs.
Can I use this injector with 802.3af/at-compatible devices?
This injector is a passive PoE injector and does not perform active 802.3af/at negotiation. However, you can use it to power devices that expect 802.3af/at voltages (e.g., 48V or 56V), provided you use an appropriate external power supply that delivers this voltage, and your devices are suitable for passive PoE input in Mode B.
Is this PoE injector compatible with any Ethernet Switch?
Yes, the injector is compatible with any standard Ethernet Switch. It is placed between your switch and your PoE devices and adds power to the data stream on the Ethernet Cables.
