How to Install ClearOne PoE Injector
- Place the injector near a reliable power outlet and within reach of the device you plan to power, as well as your network switch or router.
- Connect a standard Ethernet cable from your network switch (data source) to the injector’s Data In port, ensuring a secure connection for data delivery.
- Connect another Ethernet cable from the injector’s PoE Out port to the powered device (for example, an IP camera, wireless access point, or VoIP phone).
- Plug the injector into a power outlet using the included or compatible power cord. The device will begin delivering power to the connected PoE device as soon as it detects data activity.
- Verify operation by checking the powered device’s status indicators (LEDs or software status) and confirm data connectivity with a quick network test. If there are any issues, inspect cable integrity and ensure the data and PoE connections are correct.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
What devices can I power with this injector?
The ClearOne PoE Injector is designed to power PoE and PoE+ devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other network devices that conform to IEEE 802.3af/at standards. It’s ideal for deployments where the device needs data connectivity and power over a single Ethernet cable.
-
Is this injector compatible with PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) devices?
Yes. The injector supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, enabling higher power delivery to compatible devices up to 36W total. This allows higher‑powered devices to operate reliably without the need for a separate power supply.
-
Do I need a PoE switch if I use this injector?
No. A PoE injector is specifically used when you have a non‑PoE switch or want to extend PoE to a remote device. You can connect the injector to a standard non‑PoE switch or router, and the powered device will receive data through the switch and power via the injector.
-
What about safety and certifications?
The injector is built to meet essential safety and electromagnetic compatibility standards typical for PoE devices. It includes protection features such as overcurrent protection and thermal safeguards to protect both the injector and the connected device in normal operation.
-
What installation considerations should I keep in mind?
Ensure the powered device is within the recommended cable length for PoE (typical PoE ranges apply), use good quality Cat5e/6 cables, and avoid running cables parallel to high‑power electrical lines to minimize interference. Place the injector where heat can dissipate and where a stable power outlet is available.
-
Where can I find the exact specifications for this product?
Exact specifications can be found in the product’s technical documentation or on the Synnex ec portal using the product’s UPC or SKU as reference. The information presented here reflects standard PoE injector parameters for a 36W device and is intended to guide installation and shopping decisions.
