TP-Link Omada 2.5G PoE+ Injector with 30 W Output

TP-Link 2.5G PoE+ Injector (POE260S) - 5 Years Local Warranty

The POE260S is the multi-gigabit PoE+ injector: two 2.5 Gbps RJ45 ports and up to 30 W of 802.3at power in a compact 125 mm case. It is the part to fit when a 2.5G Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 access point has to hang off a switch with no PoE, and a Gigabit injector would cap the very link the access point was bought for.

2.5 Gbps On Both Ports, Not Just One

Data in and power-and-data out both negotiate 10 Mbps, 100 Mbps, 1 Gbps or 2.5 Gbps, so the injector is transparent to a multi-gigabit link rather than a Gigabit choke point in the middle of it. That is the whole reason this model exists: current Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points ship with 2.5G uplinks precisely because their radios can exceed a Gigabit, and powering one through a 1 Gbps injector would waste that. 2.5GBASE-T runs to 100 m on Cat5e or better — the cabling already in the wall.

30 W of 802.3af/at Power, Auto-Determined

Output is auto-determined up to a maximum of 30 W, complying with IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at. That covers the large majority of indoor access points, fixed cameras, IP phones and sensors. The auto-sensing algorithm detects what the connected device requests and supplies only that, so an 802.3af device draws af-class power from the same unit without any setting being changed.

Compact Enough to Sit Where the Cable Runs

At 125 × 59.4 × 36.8 mm the POE260S is noticeably smaller than the 60 W and 90 W units, and wall mounting kits are supplied in the box alongside the power cord. It can be fixed above a ceiling tile, inside a cabinet or behind a rack rail rather than needing shelf space. A single Power/PoE LED reports state. Mains input is 100–240 V at 50/60 Hz, so it runs on Singapore supply directly.

Power and Data Down One Cable

The value of an injector is the cable it saves: rather than bringing a mains circuit to a ceiling-mounted access point or a wall-mounted camera, the device takes both data and power from one Ethernet run. For a small office or a retail unit with a handful of PoE devices and a non-PoE switch already installed, a per-device injector is materially cheaper than a switch replacement, and it can be added one device at a time as the deployment grows.

Ideal For

Singapore offices, retail sites and homes adding a 2.5G Wi-Fi 6 or Wi-Fi 7 access point, or another 802.3at device, to a switch that has no PoE and a link that must stay above a Gigabit. Supplied by SourceIT with local Singapore warranty, GST invoice and project pricing on request.
