The TP-Link TL-PoE160S is a Gigabit PoE+ injector designed to simplify the deployment of network devices in locations where power outlets are unavailable or inconvenient. By combining data and power transmission over a single Ethernet cable, it eliminates the need for separate power runs to access points, IP cameras, and IP phones. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af/at standards, this injector delivers up to 30W of power with plug-and-play simplicity.

Power and Data Over a Single Cable

The TL-PoE160S reduces infrastructure costs by transmitting both data and power simultaneously through one Ethernet cable . This is particularly valuable for installations where running separate electrical lines would be costly, disruptive, or impractical. The injector works with any IEEE 802.3af/at compliant powered device (PD), including wireless access points, IP surveillance cameras, and VoIP phones .

Intelligent Power Delivery

An auto-sensing algorithm enables the injector to determine the necessary power requirements of the connected device and supply exactly what is needed, up to a maximum of 30W . This ensures optimal performance without risk of over-powering sensitive equipment. The integrated power supply means no bulky external adapter is required, simplifying installation and reducing clutter .

Gigabit Performance

Both the data-in and power-plus-data-out ports support 10/100/1000Mbps Gigabit speeds, ensuring that power delivery does not compromise network throughput . This makes the TL-PoE160S suitable for bandwidth-intensive applications such as high-definition IP cameras and modern Wi-Fi access points.

Flexible Installation

The compact unit measures 125 x 59.4 x 36.8mm and supports both desktop placement and wall-mounting, accommodating a wide range of installation scenarios . LED indicators provide clear status information, with the light on during normal power supply and off when power is not being delivered .

Ideal Use Cases

This injector is well-suited for deploying wireless access points in areas without nearby power outlets, installing IP cameras in outdoor or remote locations, powering VoIP phones in offices with limited electrical infrastructure, extending network coverage to warehouses, retail spaces, and temporary setups, and any scenario where running separate power cables is impractical or costly.
