PLANET POE-172 Single-Port 10/100/1000 Mbps 60W Ultra PoE Injector

Quick Summary

Experience quick and easy Gigabit Ultra Power PoE network deployment with the PLANET single-port Ultra Power over Ethernet solution. It consists of the following two products:

• POE-172: 60-watt Ultra Power over Ethernet Injector
• POE-171S: 12V/19V/24V DC Power over Ethernet Splitter (not included; sold separately)

The POE-172 delivers the Ethernet digital data with 56V DC power over the twisted pair cables as a 60-watt Power over Ethernet Injector, and the connected Ultra Power over Ethernet splitter (the POE-171S) will separate the digital data and the power into three optional outputs (12V/19V/24V DC) with distance up to 100 meters.

The POE-172 provides a maximum of 60-watt power and high-speed Ethernet data connection anywhere in your network infrastructure. It is designed specifically to meet the demand for growing higher power required network equipment such as:

• PTZ Speed Dome
• AIO (All-in-One) touch PC
• Remote digital signage display
• Other network devices that need higher power to work normally

Additionally, the POE-172 comes in a compact size, and is plug-and-play for easy installation. It’s able to automatically detect the PoE IEEE 802.3at/af equipment and devices to check whether there’s any damage done via incorrect installation. The built-in LED indicators (Power LED and Active LED) indicate the status of the unit, eliminating guesswork.

Features

60 watts of Power over 4-pair UTP

The POE-172 and POE-171S (sold separately) Ultra PoE solutions use the same cabling standard, such as IEEE 802.3at/af PoE. Instead of delivering power over 2-pair twisted UTP – be it end-span (Pins 1, 2, 3 and 6) or mid-span (Pins 4, 5, 7 and 8), it provides the capability to source up to 60 watts of power by using all the four pairs of standard Cat. 5e/Cat. 6 Ethernet cabling. In the new 4-pair system, two PSE controllers will be used to power both the data pairs and the spare pairs.

All-in-One and Compact Design

With concepts of "Easy to install”, “Plug and Play” and "Simple troubleshooting" for business and home users, the POE-172 is an all-in-one, single-port PoE+ injector with internal power supply. In the compact housing, the POE-172 provides one 100-240V AC input socket on its front panel, two LEDs (System POWER and PoE ACTIVE) on the top side and two RJ45 ports (PoE port and LAN port) on the rear panel. Simply plug in the Ethernet cables and power cord, and the POE-172 is ready to provide high-speed network communication and ultra power PoE injector functions simultaneously with no need of software configuration.

Quick and Easy Cabling Installation for PoE Network Deployment

Backwards compatible with both 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards, the POE-172 allows users to flexibly deploy standard and high powered devices to transfer data and power simultaneously through one Ethernet cable for up to 100 meters. The POE-172 frees the security IP camera and wireless AP deployment from restrictions of power outlet locations and the additional AC wiring. It reduces cables and eliminates the need for electrical outlets on the wall, ceiling or any unreachable place, and most of all, it reduces installation time.

Applications

Installation of Ultra PoE Injector

Due to the backward capability of IEEE 802.3at/af PoE standard, the POE-172 can directly connect with any IEEE 802.3at/af end-nodes such as PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) speed dome network cameras, color touch-screen Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, and multi-channel wireless LAN access points.

Installation of Ultra PoE Injector and Splitter

For a place at which it is hard to find the power inlet, the POE-172 and POE-171S (sold separately) operate as a pair to provide the easiest way to power your Ethernet devices which need high power input, such as PTZ (Pan, Tilt & Zoom) network cameras, PTZ speed dome, color touch-screen Voice over IP (VoIP) telephones, and multi-channel wireless LAN access points installed on the top of the building or used in enterprise office or home.

Extended Installation of IEEE 802.3at Injector and PoE

Is 100-meter cable long enough for a wide range of IP surveillance deployments? The answer is certainly not. To achieve the benefits of IP surveillance and also the long-distance IP camera distribution, the POE-172 and PLANET PoE Extender, IPOE-E174 (sold separately), can be a quick and cost-effective option. In the simplest application, the PoE Extender enables a PoE IP camera to be installed up to 200 meters away from the POE-172. The POE-172 delivers PoE power over the first 100 meters to the PoE Extender over UTP cables, and then the PoE Extender forwards the Ethernet data and remaining POE power to the remote PoE IP cameras.
