Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit
Chapter 1: Product Overview
Introduction
Thank you for choosing the Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit,
comprised of the Injector and Splitter. The Injector sends power and
data over the Ethernet cable to the Splitter. Then the Splitter separates
the data and power back into two cables and delivers them to the
remotely located access point or other network device that requires
a five-volt power input. The Injector can also be used by itself with
any Power Over Ethernet (POE)-enabled network device that accepts
48 volts directly on a POE port.
NOTE: If your Linksys product uses a 12-volt power input, then
you should use the 12-volt kit, model number: WAPPOE12.
Injector
The Injector’s built-in cable and ports are located on side panels.
Injector’s First Side Panel
The Power & Data OUT port is located on the Injector’s first side panel.
Power & Data OUT This port allows you to connect the
Injector to the Splitter or a network device that supports inline
power. (You will use the included Ethernet network cable to
make this connection.)
Injector’s Second Side Panel
The built-in Ethernet network cable and Power port are located on the
Injector’s second side panel.
