1Anchor Power Supply
There are two options to power the Anchor. It can be powered either via USB or Passive PoE. Only one
interface can be used at one time, never connect both.
▪Power Supply from USB –DC 5V, 500mA –mobile battery pack or USB Adaptor with maximum
cable length 1.8m.
Do not use longer USB cables, since cable voltage drop can cause instability of the device.
▪Power from Passive PoE Injector. DC voltage 24V/48V injected into unused Ethernet pairs
(Pairs 4,5 positive terminal, 7,8 negative terminal)
Always connect Anchor’s Ethernet to network infrastructure inside a building.
Always use galvanic isolated power adaptor with short circuit protection. Verified PN are:
GS36E24-P1J, GS36E48-P1J Meanwell.
Please note Passive PoE is not compliant with PoE IEEE 802.3af / Cisco. Anchor v1.3 cannot be powered
from those PoE ports. To use IEEE 802.3af Active PoE to power the Anchors, you need to get a converter
to the Passive PoE from the IEEE 802.3af.
Single-port Injector
Contains DC Jack, PoE Port and Lan port.
Multi-port Injector for 19” rack
“Data LAN” ports are connected to the network Switch, “Power+Data” ports are connected to the Anchors.
Never connect “Power+Data” ports to the computer or other network devices.
When the Anchors are connected to a stable power supply, a blue LED should start to blink on the side of
the enclosure.
