AQE30E
Power over Ethernet Single Port Extractor
Installation Manual
Description
The AQE30E Power over Ethernet (PoE) power extractor is
designed to provide 12 volts (V) direct current (DC) and up
to a maximum of 25 watts (W) of output power to a non-PoE
Internet Protocol (IP) device (e.g., IP camera) from a PoE
source.
RJ45 connectors are provided for data input and output, and
two terminal strips are provided for the DC output and power
level selection.
The AQE30E is compatible with the Institute of Electrical and
Electronics Engineers (IEEE) Standard 802.3, "Ethernet," and
is capable of accepting PoE connections of Mode A, Mode B,
or Mode A and B simultaneously.
Operation with reverse polarity at the PoE input is also supported.
Regulatory Information
The equipment discussed within this manual has been tested
to the following standards:
• UL Standard UL294b, "The Standard of Safety for
Access Control System Units"
• International Electrotechnical Commission (IEC)
and UL Standard IEC/UL 60950-1, "Components"
• Canadian Standards Association Standard C22.2
No. 205-M1983, "Signal Equipment"
Mounting the AQE30E Series Module
The AQE30E mounts using two screws in the mounting
tabs. The unit must be mounted in a secure, indoor, dry
location to a suitable surface, using suitable hardware.

Data
This is the non-PoE network connection to a non-PoE camera or other non-PoE device. This connector is an RJ45 jack
and accepts a CAT-5 cable.
PoE/Data
This is the PoE input from the network. This will come from
a PoE source such as a AQE Midspan Injector or a PoE Network Switch. This connector is an RJ45 jack and accepts a
CAT-5 cable.
Output Status (Green)
This LED shows the status of the AQE30E PoE Extractor See
the status chart for more information.
PoE Class Selection Jumper
This input selects the class of PoE connected to the PoE/Data
input of the AQE30E.
Leave these terminals open if connecting to a Class 3 (15W) PoE
Source. Place a jumper across these terminals if connecting to a
Class 4 (30W) PoE Source.

Mounting Tab
The mounting tab centers are spaced 3.85" on center. Refer to
the mounting guide (page 1) for mounting details.
12VDC Output
These terminals are the 12VDC output from the AQE30E.
This output can be used to power non-PoE devices such as
cameras. These terminals can accept wire sizes from AWG16
to AWG22. See the Specifications Section for ratings.
