4.1 What is the Gigabit PoE Supply?
The Gigabit PoE Supply is a Gigabit power supply intended to provide power to devices over PoE. It
is a passive power supply, meaning that power-negotiation is not supported and power is delivered
at all times. More information please find in chapter "7.1 Technical specifications" on page 20.
The Gigabit PoE Supply is designed for harsh stage conditions and offers a reliable solution for
powering various devices. With optional accessoires, it offers several mounting options including
truss mount, rack mount and table/wallbox mount to fit the needs of system integrators and live
entertainment engineers.

5.1 Preparations
TUnpacking the Gigabit PoE Supply.
TSave packaging for later transport and storage.
TCheck the packaging and the Gigabit PoE Supply for visible damage.
TWhen visible damage to the packaging and/or delivered parts is detected:
Contact the salesperson or Neutrik sales partner.
TDo not use damaged devices under any circumstances.
5.2 Connecting devices with the Gigabit PoE Supply
The Gigabit PoE Supply is installed as a midspan device between the PoE powered device and a
Ethernet device without power output.
•For a load of 20 W or higher, it is mandatory to use AWG24 or higher cross-section
cables.
•For cable lengths of 50 m or longer, it is mandatory to use AWG24 or higher cross-section
cables.
•F / UTP Kat 6A cables are recommended.
(F / UTP cables can better dissipate heat due to the screen)
wNOTE
Risk of device damage!
TDo not combine NPS-30W Gigabit PoE Supply with other PoE Supplies, as this can cause a
damage to the powered device due to different pin assignment.
TWhen using 2 NPS-30W PoE Supplies, do not use cables with different connection standards
(TIA568A vs TIA568B). Never use Ethernet Cross-cables within PoE connections.
TConnect the devices depending on the desired application.
TConnect the Gigabit PoE Supply with the power supply.
LEDs light up once the Gigabit PoE Supply is supplied with power.
The Gigabit PoE Supply is ready for operation.

7.2 PoE (Power over Ethernet)
PoE stands for Power over Ethernet and describes a practice for using a single CAT5e (or higher) to incorporate both
power and data in the single cable.
Few advantages:
•Easy setup
•Single cable run up to 100 m
•Using PoE doesn’t require certified electrician as the power loads are small
•Existing network infrastructure can be used
7.2 .1 Definitions
PD (Powered device) – device that is connected to PSE and thus is powered by it.
PSE (Power Sourcing Equipment) – device that provides power to PD, can be a network switch or injector.
PSE Types
In our case, we consider only following two types of PSE devices.
•PoE Switch: a switch that offers possibility to power PD. Switches use PoE classification.
•PoE Injector: typically a single port device for powering 1 PD. These exist with classification (active) or without
(passive). Neutrik's NPS-30W is a passive PoE injector.
The term class refers to a maximal power output (see table below).
