Know before you buy
Yes, the PD-9501GC/AC-US is backward compatible with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at standards. It will safely detect and provide the appropriate power level for your older equipment.
Absolutely. With a 60W output and IEEE 802.3bt compliance, it is specifically designed to power high-draw devices that exceed the capacity of standard PoE switches.
No, this unit supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds. It ensures your data transmission remains at 1000 Mbps without bottlenecking your network performance.
The injector features automated power detection. It will only deliver power if it identifies a compatible PoE-enabled device, protecting any standard Ethernet terminals you might accidentally connect.
It is a true plug-and-play device. You simply connect your Ethernet cable from the network switch to the 'Data In' port, connect your device to the 'Data & Power' port, and plug the injector into a standard AC power outlet.
