Overview

The TP-Link TL-PoE160S is a single-port Gigabit PoE+ injector that converts a standard non-PoE Ethernet connection into a powered one, eliminating the need to replace an existing switch or run separate power lines. Compliant with IEEE 802.3at and 802.3af standards, it uses Auto Detect technology to sense the connected device's power requirements and deliver up to 30W for PoE+ devices or 15.4W for standard PoE devices. This makes it compatible with a wide range of equipment including IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and door access controllers.

With dual Gigabit Ethernet ports—one input and one output—the TL-PoE160S maintains full-speed data throughput while injecting power over the same cable for distances up to 100 meters (328 feet). The plug-and-play design requires no configuration, making it ideal for quick deployments in offices, warehouses, or outdoor installations where running AC power is impractical. Its compact, fanless design operates silently and fits unobtrusively into any network rack or desk setup.

Key Features

【Convert Non-PoE to PoE】With no need to replace your existing non-PoE switch/device, you can easily have PoE enabled with the use of PoE160S

【Gigabit Ports Ensures High Speed】Experience lightning-fast wired speeds with 1× Gigabit Ethernet Input Port + 1× Gigabit Ethernet Output port

【802.3at/af PoE Compliant 】PoE160S supplies power and data via one single ethernet cable to 802.3at/af PoE devices and expands network to areas with no power lines or outlets

【Plug and Play】Easy setup with no software installation or configuration needed

【Long Range Transmission】Deliver Power up to 100 meters (328ft.), perfect for IP cameras or access point deployment in large areas

【Auto Detect】With Auto Detect technology, PoE160S delivers up to 30W to a PoE+ device with backwards compatibility for 802.3af PoE (15.4W) devices.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Plug-and-play setup with zero configuration or software required
  • Auto-detects PoE standard to safely deliver 30W (PoE+) or 15.4W (PoE) to connected devices
  • Gigabit input and output ports maintain full network speed through the injector
  • Delivers power and data up to 100 meters over a single Ethernet cable
  • Compact desktop form factor that fits easily alongside existing network gear

👎 Cons

  • Powers only a single PoE device per unit, so multiple cameras or APs each need their own injector
  • No passthrough or managed features—strictly a single-port power injector
  • External power adapter required, adding another cable and wall outlet to your setup

Frequently Asked Questions

No. The injector is completely plug-and-play—just connect your Ethernet cable and power adapter and it begins supplying PoE immediately.
Yes. It auto-detects the connected device's PoE standard and delivers up to 30W for 802.3at (PoE+) or up to 15.4W for 802.3af (PoE) devices.
It supports power and data transmission up to 100 meters (328 feet) over a single Ethernet cable.
No. Both the input and output ports are Gigabit Ethernet, so full-speed data throughput is maintained while power is injected.
