Reliable Power Supply for Your Network: The U-POE-af
Do you have a WiFi Access Point, an IP Camera, or another Network device that is PoE-enabled, but your Ethernet Switch doesn't supply power? The Ubiquiti U-POE-af is the perfect solution. As a dedicated PoE Injector for UniFi Access Points and other 802.3af-compatible devices, it safely and reliably adds the necessary power to an existing Ethernet Cable. This way, you power your end devices with data and power over a single Cable – ideal for installations where no power outlet is nearby. It is an indispensable tool from the range of Ubiquiti Accessories.
More Than Just Power: Integrated Protection for Your Devices
The U-POE-af is not just a power source, but also a bodyguard for your expensive hardware. Ubiquiti has integrated comprehensive device protection that goes far beyond the standard. With protection mechanisms against overvoltage, peak pulse currents, and electrostatic discharges (ESD), your connected devices are protected from the most common causes of electronic damage. This is a key feature for Lightning Protection. The prerequisite is the use of the included, grounded power cable – a small detail with a big impact on the longevity of your Network.
Installation in Seconds: Simple, Fast, and Tidy
Forget complicated configurations or software installations. The U-POE-af embodies the principle of Plug-and-Play Installation. You connect the 'LAN'-port to your Ethernet Switch or WiFi Router and the 'PoE'-port to your end device. As soon as the injector is connected to the power grid, everything works automatically. For a particularly clean and professional installation, the included wall mount is provided. This is part of effective Mounting Systems. Simply click the injector in place to keep things tidy in the 19-Inch Racks or at the mounting location.
The Right PoE Standard for Your Hardware
The U-POE-af is specifically designed for the widely used PoE standard IEEE 802.3af and delivers up to 15.4 Watts. This is ideal for a variety of devices such as UniFi Access Points or most IP Cameras. Please note that it is not suitable for devices requiring more power (PoE+ 802.3at or PoE++ 802.3bt). So, check the requirements of your end device before purchasing. As one of the most reliable PoE Injectors / Power Supplies on the market, it is the first choice for all standard applications.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Is the Ubiquiti U-POE-af compatible with every PoE device?
No. It is specifically designed for devices that support the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard with a maximum power consumption of 15.4 Watts at 48V. It is not compatible with devices that require passive 24V PoE or more powerful standards such as PoE+ (802.3at). For a robust Network, ensure compatibility with your Ubiquiti Networks equipment.
Can I achieve data rates of 1 Gigabit per second with the U-POE-af?
Yes, absolutely. Both RJ45 ports of this PoE Injector are Gigabit-capable. This means it does not impair the Network speed and can transmit the full 1 Gbit/s bandwidth to the connected device, making it ideal for high-speed Ethernet Switch connections.
Is a power cable included with the U-POE-af?
Yes, the PoE Injector comes standard with a grounded AC power cable (IEC-320 C6 connector). Using this Cabling is crucial to ensure the integrated ESD and surge protection, contributing to the overall Lightning Protection of your setup.
What is the included mounting bracket for?
The included plastic bracket is an optional wall Mounting System. It can be screwed to a wall or another surface, after which the PoE Injector is simply slid on. This ensures a stable and tidy installation, making it a useful Ubiquiti Accessories item.
Does the U-POE-af have a reset button to restart the connected device?
No, the U-POE-af PoE Injector does not have a physical reset button or a software function to restart the end device. A restart can only be performed by briefly disconnecting the injector from the Power Supply.
What does Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) protection mean?
ESD is one of the main causes of defects in Network devices. The U-POE-af, in combination with a grounded power cable and shielded Ethernet Cables, safely dissipates harmful electrostatic discharges, thereby protecting the electronics of the PoE Injector and the connected device, enhancing overall Lightning Protection.
