Passive PoE adapter, power cord, wall mount kits.

Note: POE2412G is used as an example throughout this guide. Other models may differ in appearance.

Connection

Use the passive PoE adapter to simultaneously supply power and transmit data to a passive PoE device.

The connection involves the Passive PoE Adapter, which has a LAN port and a PoE port. The LAN port connects to an Ethernet Device (such as a switch or gateway) using an Ethernet cable. The PoE port connects to a Passive PoE Device (like an IP Camera or Access Point) using another Ethernet cable. The adapter itself is powered by an AC Power Cord.

Note: Before connecting a passive PoE device, please check the required voltage in its product manual.

Installation

Note: To ensure the passive PoE adapter is attached most securely, it is recommended to install the adapter with the Ethernet port facing upward.

Step 1

Drill two holes on the wall and insert the plastic wall anchors into the holes. Secure the mounting bracket to the wall. Ensure the shoulders at the corners of the mounting bracket are on the outside and pointing upward.

Step 2

Attach the passive PoE adapter to the mounting bracket by sliding the adapter in the direction of the arrows until it locks into place.

FAQ

Q1: Can the PoE adapter supply power to a passive PoE device which doesn't have a gigabit Ethernet port?

A: Yes. Both the LAN and the PoE ports of the PoE adapter comply with IEEE 802.3i and IEEE 802.3u standards and support 10/100Mbps Auto-Negotiation.

Q2: Can the Passive PoE adapter supply power to all my PoE devices?

A: If your devices support passive PoE and the voltage standards of the devices match that of the passive PoE adapter, the passive PoE adapter can supply power to them.

Wall Mounting Requirements

To mount the device on a wall, use 2 screws that comply with ANSI B1.1 4#, (5#), or 6# standards and are more than 7 mm in length. When the screws are fixed on the wall, the distance between the screw head and the wall should be no more than 1.5 mm.

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the limits for a Class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection against harmful interference in a residential installation. This equipment generates, uses, and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio communications. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.

This device complies with part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is subject to the following two conditions: 1) This device may not cause harmful interference. 2) This device must accept any interference received, including interference that may cause undesired operation. Any changes or modifications not expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user's authority to operate the equipment. TP-Link Systems Inc. has determined that the equipment shown complies with applicable technical standards, FCC part 15, provided no unauthorized changes are made and the equipment is properly maintained and operated.
