Ethernet Connectivity
The ZyXEL PoE12 Series is a PoE injector designed to support the increasing power demands
of the latest-generation N wireless Access Points (APs) as well as the pan, tilt or zoom
functions of IP surveillance cameras. The PoE12 Series consists of two models: PoE-12 and
PoE12-HP. The PoE-12 and PoE12-HP are single-port PoE injectors that deliver both power
and data to other PoE devices via a single CAT-5 Ethernet cable without extra power supply.
The PoE-12 enables 100 Mbps data transmissions and provides power up to 15.4 W, while
the PoE12-HP allows data transmitted at 1000 Mbps and delivers power up to 30 W.
Benefits
Industry standard compliance and investment protection
PoE is a standard-based technology that specifies how power is distributed along with data on
standard Ethernet LAN cables. The standard specifies IEEE 802.3af providing up to 15.4 W of power
per device and IEEE 802.3at providing up to 30 W per device. Complying with the IEEE 802.3af and
IEEE 802.3at standards, the ZyXEL PoE12 Series offers interoperability and compatibility with other
standard-based PoE devices.
Trouble-free installation
With PoE technology, the PoE12 Series enables users to place devices such as wireless LAN APs, IP
surveillance cameras and IP phones exactly where they are needed. Since the devices are directly
powered through Ethernet cables, there is no need to have separate power supplies or to have
costly electrical engineers putting AC power sockets on ceilings or roof spaces.
Plug and Play—ease of use
The PoE12 Series is easy to use and needs no configuration. Since only simple inbound and
outbound cable plugs are required, the installation is very straightforward and can be performed
by users having no electrical wiring experience without spending extra cost.
