The Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G Instant 802.3af Indoor Gigabit PoE Converter transforms almost any Ubiquiti PoE (Power over Ethernet) device into a fully compliant 48V, 802.3af-compatible product. This adapter works seamlessly with a variety of 802.3af switches for remote power control applications, allowing you to conveniently power or power cycle your remote devices. For ease of power management, you can centralize the 802.3af switch and power source, and include a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) as a backup to ensure network operation during temporary power outages. The adapter provides an additional ±15kV of Ethernet isolation for built-in protection, reducing the risk of ESD or surge damage to your devices.
Key Features:
- Transforms PoE Devices into 802.3af-Compliant Products
- Achieves faster throughput speeds using Gigabit Ethernet
- Works with 802.3af switches for remote control power applications
