Introduction

Thank you for purchasing our Power over Ethernet Adapter. This
user's manual is to provide the installation and usage of this
adapter for network installers and users.

PLANET's PoE products include two models: Injector and Splitter.
Injector inserts current into the unused wires in a standard
network cable (pin: 4, 5, 7, 8). So the cable between Injector and
Splitter can transfer power and network signals simultaneously.
Base on the limitation of cable on Ethernet and Fast Ethernet, the
maximum distance between the two devices including Injector
and Splitter can reach 100 meters.

Hardware Installation

4.1 Prior installation

Before your installation, it is recommended to check your network
environment. If there is problem for you to install a networked
device where it is very difcult to nd a power socket for your
AC-DC Adapter, POE-100 and POE-100S should provide you a
way to provide DC power for this Ethernet Device conveniently
and easily.

The POE-100 comes with an AC-DC adapter with 15VDC output
and injects this DC power into the un-used pin of the twisted pair
cable (pair 4,5 and pair 7,8).

Caution:

1. Power over Ethernet (POE-100 and POE-

100S) will only work under Category 5

UTP/STP cable with 4-pair. Please refer to

appendix A for more.

2. Gigabit Ethernet device cannot be used to

work with POE-100 and POE-100S since

1000Base-T will use the 4-pair for data

transmission. Plug in Gigabit device to POE-

100 with power could damage the device.

The POE-100S separates the power out and will provide three kind
of power output, in different voltage and current, i.e. 5VDC/ 2A,

7.5VDC/1.5A and 12VDC/1A.

Hint:

Please check the power requirement of the

device that is going to get power from POE-

100S. If the power requirement is higher than

POE-100/100S can supply, it will shutdown the

POE-100S. This shall shutdown your device as

well.

POE-100 and POE-100S should being installed in pair, use of
third-party device could damage your device or use of only
one device at a time could damage your device.

4.2 POE-100 – the injector installation

1. Connect a standard network cable from Hub/Switch to

Ethernet port of POE-100.

2. Connect the long cable that will be used to connect to

the remote device to the port Ethernet+DC .

3. In the other end of the cable, place the warning paster

to the RJ-45 end.

Hint:

This warning paster is used to warn the us-

ers if they are going to make change of the

cable.

Figure 3: Warning paster location

4. Connect the AC adapter to “15V DC” of POE-100. The

power LED will be steady on.

4.3 POE-100S – the splitter installation

1. Adjust the output voltage of POE-100S by moving the

switch to correct position, i.e. 12V, 7.5V, or 5V.

Caution:

Do not adjust the output voltage of POE-100S

while it is powered on. (i.e. PWR LED is steady

light green)

Figure 4: Output voltage switch on POE-100S

2. Connect a standard network cable from “Ethernet+DC”

of POE-100 to “Ethernet+DC” of POE-100S. The power

LED of POE-100S will be steady on.

Warning:

Do not connect the

cable from “Ethernet +

DC” of POE-100 to re-

mote device, otherwise

the inner component

of remote device may

permanently malfunc-

tion.

3. Connect the UTP cable in the package from “Ethernet” of

POE-100S to the RJ-45 port of remote device.

4. Connect proper DC plug from “DC OUT” of POE-100S to

remote device.

Caution:

Please ensure the output voltage is correct

before applying power to remote device.

Remark:

1.DC current and voltage varies on the DIP-

switch selection of POE-100S.

2.Gigabit Ethernet is not allowed to use POE-

100 products since pair 4,5 and pair 7,

8 are all being used. Only 10Base-T and

100Base-TX can apply with POE-100/

100S products.

A.2 Cable system

The standard RJ-45 receptacle/connector

There are 8 wires on a standard UTP/STP cable and each wire is
color-coded. The following shows the pin allocation and color of
straight cable and crossover cable connection:

Please make sure your connected cable is with same pin
assignment and color as above picture before deploying the cables
into your network.

Frequently Asked Question

1. What’s the correct step to apply the power to the remote

device?

Ans:

a. Please make sure the POE-100S is set to the correct DC

output voltage in advance.

b. Connects the remote device to POE-100S, both power

plug cable and Ethernet cable

c. Plug-in the 15VDC power to the POE-100 and check the

LED on it.

d. Plug-in the UTP cable from POE-100 into the “Ethernet

+ DC” port of POE-100S. The LED on POE-100S should

turns on. And the remote device starts to boot up

e. IF you would like to change the voltage, please DO re-

move the cable from the port “Ethernet + DC” of POE-

100S. Make sure the LED of POE-100S is turned off to

adjust the voltage output.

2. How many remote Ethernet devices can be powered?

Ans:

a. Due to POE-100/100S only provide one Ethernet inter-

face, only one Ethernet device can be powered.

b. For safety reason, POE-100/100S will only support device

with power consumption below 12watts. Please make

sure the remote Ethernet device is under the range of

12V 1A, 7.5V 1.5A or 5V 2A, that with power consump-

tion below 12 watts.

3. Can I connect POE-100 or POE-100S to other IEEE802.3af

device?

Ans:

a. POE-100 and POE-100S is not comply with IEEE802.3af,

you can not connect any of it to an IEEE802.3af de-

vices.

b. For POE-100 it will inject power all the time. This means

it will send power once it is connect with 15VDC AC

adapter. So, please DO NOT connect the UTP cable from

POE-100’s “Ethernet+DC” to any Ethernet equipment

directly including any IEEE802.3af complied device.

c. Not an IEEE802.3af complied device, POE-100S will not

detect and reply the signal from 802.3af injector. As a

result, the Power LED will never turns on if you connect

to an IEEE802.3af injector and will never power the re-

mote device as well.
