Power over Ethernet Injector
POE-100
SWITCH
Paster
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.
3. Features & Specications
3.1 Features
• Provides low-voltage DC power over existing Category 5
cabling to a device with an Ethernet port
• Distance up to 100 meters
• Protects devices from possible damages due to powersurges
• Three different output voltage options (5V/2A, 9V/1.2A,
12V/1A) to t various devices
• Work with EIA568, category 5, 4-pair cable for 10Base-T
or 100Base-TX, Ethernet / Fast Ethernet network
3.3 Product Outlook
Figure 1: POE-100
Figure 2: POE-100S
The POE-100S separates the power out and will provide
three kind of power output, in different voltage and current,
i.e. 5VDC/ 2A, 9VDC/1.2A and 12VDC/1A.
Please check the power requirement of the
device that is going to get power from POE100S. 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. 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 difcult 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).
1. Power over Ethernet (POE-100 and POE100S) 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
Ethernet port of POE-100/100S will force the
port to link at 10/100Mbps.

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.
This warning paster is used to warn the users
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.

1. Adjust the output voltage of POE-100S by moving the
switch to correct position, i.e. 12V, 9V, or 5V.
Appendix A
RJ-45 pin assignment and cable system
Do not adjust the output voltage of POE100S while it is powered on. (i.e. PWR LED is
steady light green).

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.

Remark:
2. Gigabit Ethernet is not allowed to use POE100 products since pair 4,5 and pair 7, 8 are
all being used. Only 10Base-T and 100BaseTX 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
remove the cable from the port “Ethernet + DC” of POE100S. 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, 9V 1.2A or 5V 2A, that with power consumption
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 devices.
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
remote device as well.
