TP-Link PoE Injector TL-PoE160S Black Gigabit

Description

Product Overview

The TP-Link TL-PoE160S is a compact black PoE injector designed to add Power over Ethernet capability to any existing non‑PoE network infrastructure. Measuring just 4.17 x 2.34 x 1.45 inches and weighing only 5.6 ounces, it fits neatly into crowded rack spaces or desktop setups. Featuring one Gigabit Ethernet input and one Gigabit Ethernet output, the device delivers up to 30 W of power to 802.3at/af compliant devices while maintaining full 1 Gbps data throughput. Built with TP-Link’s proven hardware quality, the injector supports auto‑detect technology, automatically adjusting power output for both PoE+ (30 W) and legacy PoE (15.4 W) devices, and can transmit power up to 100 meters (328 ft).

Usage

Ideal for security camera installations, wireless access point deployments, and VoIP phone setups, the TL-PoE160S enables installers to power devices without running separate power cables. In office environments, it simplifies network expansions by allowing a single Ethernet cable to supply both data and electricity to devices such as thin clients or digital signage. Home users can also benefit when setting up smart doorbells or indoor cameras, eliminating the need for wall outlets and reducing cable clutter.
