The MikroTik RBPOE is a passive Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector designed for use with 10/100Mbps RouterBOARD devices. It allows you to power compatible devices over the Ethernet cable, reducing the need for separate power wiring. The RBPOE supports input voltages ranging from 10 to 28V, with the output voltage being the same as the input.
Here's a more detailed breakdown:
Key Specifications:
Product Code: RBPOE
Input Voltage: 10 - 28V
Output Voltage: Same as input
Data Rate: 10/100 Mbps
PoE Type: Passive PoE
Connectors: RJ-45
Common Ground: Yes
Power/Data Mixer: Yes
How it works:
The RBPOE injector receives power from a power supply connected to its input.
It combines this power with the data signal on the Ethernet cable, sending both to the connected device.
The connected device, if compatible, can then draw power directly from the Ethernet cable.
Benefits:
Simplified Cabling: Reduces the number of cables needed for your network.
Cost-effective: Provides a relatively inexpensive way to power compatible devices.
Easy Installation: Plug and play functionality makes it simple to set up.
Important Considerations:
The RBPOE is a passive PoE injector and is not compatible with all devices.
It is specifically designed for 10/100Mbps RouterBOARD devices.
Make sure your power supply voltage is within the specified range.
