Chapter 1: Introduction
Welcome
12 Volt Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit
Thank you for choosing the Linksys 12 Volt Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit. It will let you put your wireless
access point or other network device almost anywhere, by eliminating the need for a nearby electrical outlet.
The best place for an access point is usually on the ceiling, in the center of the area that needs wireless
coverage, and the second best place would be high up on a wall. With the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit, you
don’t have to run power up to your access point.
How does the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit do this? It delivers power over a Category 5 Ethernet cable. The
Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit includes two devices, the Injector and the 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. The Injector can also be used
by itself with any Power Over Ethernet (POE)-enabled network device that accept 48 volts directly on a POE port.
Use the 12 Volt Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit to send power and data to any Linksys product that requires a
12-volt power input. (If your Linksys product uses a 5-volt power input, then you should use the 5-volt kit, model
number: WAPPOE.)
Which Linksys products work with the 12 Volt Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit? This is a list of the compatible

Overview
The Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit is comprised of two devic es, the Injector and Split ter. Use the Kit so you can
move your access point, wireless bridge, or other network device to a remote location that is far from an
electrical outlet.
The Injector
The Injector’s built-in cable and ports are located on side panels.
The 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.)
