Ubiquiti U-POE (U-POE-AF) 802.3af PoE Injector

The Ubiquiti U-POE (previously U-POE-AF) transforms passive PoE devices into 802.3af-compliant products, delivering 48V 15W power over Gigabit Ethernet connections. This instant 802.3af converter provides reliable power delivery for network devices while maintaining full data transmission capabilities.

802.3af Standard Compliance

This PoE injector adheres to the IEEE 802.3af standard, ensuring compatibility with auto-sensing 802.3af PoE switches. The standardized power delivery enables seamless integration into existing network infrastructure and allows for remote power control applications. Network administrators can power cycle connected devices directly through their 802.3af switch interface.

Ubiquiti Device Compatibility

The U-POE-AF is compatible with most Ubiquiti PoE devices utilizing 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet ports. This includes airMAX wireless bridge products and UniFi access points, cameras, and network devices. The converter enables these devices to work with standard 802.3af power sources rather than requiring proprietary power supplies.

Extended Cable Run Capability

High voltage power delivery at 48V carries electrical current more efficiently than lower voltage alternatives. This efficiency enables longer Ethernet cable runs between the power source and connected devices without significant power loss. The improved power delivery is particularly beneficial for installations requiring extended cable distances.

ESD and Surge Protection

Built-in protection provides an additional 15kV of Ethernet isolation to safeguard connected devices from electrostatic discharge and power surges. This protection layer reduces the risk of damage to expensive network equipment from electrical events, adding reliability to outdoor and industrial installations.

Technical Specifications

The U-POE-AF delivers 48V power output with 15W maximum power capacity, meeting the 802.3af standard requirements. The Gigabit Ethernet ports support full data throughput while simultaneously providing power over the same cable. The compact form factor allows for flexible installation in network cabinets, on walls, or near connected devices.
