Buying guide
Sizing a PoE injector
Standard and wattage
802.3af supplies up to 15.4W per port, 802.3at (PoE+) up to 30W, and 802.3bt more. Match or exceed what the device draws.
Data speed
Gigabit injectors pass full gigabit data. Multi-gigabit access points need an injector rated for their speed, like Smart Rate models.
Single or multi-port
Single-port injectors suit one device; multi-port midspans power several devices from one unit in a rack.

Frequently asked questions
Can I use a PoE+ injector with an 802.3af device?
Yes. A standards-based PoE+ injector supplies only what the device requests, so 802.3af devices run normally.
Do I need a PoE injector if my switch has PoE?
Only if the switch can't supply enough power, either per port or across its total budget, for the device you're adding.
