PoE Adapters
Power over Ethernet (POE) is a technology that lets network cables carry electrical power. RFI Engineering's U-router and LoRa gateway are both powered using Power over Ethernet power supplies.
Single Port PoE injector (100-250 VAC input)
The RE.99.PPOE universal 20 Watt PoE power supply provides power to devices through RJ45 jacks and data over a single Ethernet cable. This compact, self-contained device provides an efficient and cost-effective solution to systems designers confronting the need for additional electrical outlets or the placement of network access points.
Single Port PoE injector (48V DC input)
The RE.99.1POE is a single port IEEE 802.3af compliant power injector that runs entirely on standard 48V DC, as commonly found on remote telecom sites. The power injector gives you a quick, safe, and economical way to add PoE to existing non-PoE network links. Simply run your Ethernet line through the injector to power remote LoRa Base stations, VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE equipment.
Triple Port PoE injector (48V DC input)
The RE.99.3POE is a three port IEEE 802.3af compliant power injector in a 1HE 19 inch enclosure. The unit runs entirely on standard 48V DC, as commonly found on remote telecom sites. The power injector gives you a quick, safe, and economical way to add 3 PoE outlets to a telco installation. Simply run your Ethernet line through the injector to power remote LoRa Base stations, VoIP phones, surveillance cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE equipment.
Using Power over Ethernet brings many advantages to an installation:
Time and cost savings - by reducing the time and expense of having electrical power cabling installed. Network cables do not require a qualified electrician to fit them, and can be located anywhere.
Flexibility - without being tethered to an electrical outlet, devices such as our U-router or L-gateway can be located wherever they are needed most, and repositioned easily if required.
Safety - PoE delivery is intelligent, and designed to protect network equipment from overload, underpowering, or incorrect installation.
Reliability - PoE power comes from a central and universally compatible source, rather than a collection of distributed wall adapters. It can be backed-up by an uninterruptible power supply, or controlled to easily disable or reset devices.
Scalability - having power available on the network means that installation and distribution of network connections is simple and effective.
