Functions and Features
Note: The device is design to meet the IEEE802.3af standard.
The SonicWALL PoE Injector adds 48VDC to the unused (non-
data) wires in standard Category 5 Ethernet cable. As a result,
the Power over LAN Hub delivers both data and power to the
terminal.
EMC Compliance:
Category 5 foiled twisted-pair cables must be
used to ensure compliance with requirements of FCC Part 15,
subpart B, Class B. The use of unshielded cables (Category 5 for
10BASE-T ports or for 100BASE-Tx ports) complies with Class A
requirements.
Installation
The PoE Injector may be free standing or wall mounted using the
back wall holders.
Before You Install
Before you mount the PoE Injector to a fixed location:
•
Do not cover the PoE Injector or block the airflow to it with any
other objects.
•
Keep the PoE Injector away from excessive heat and humidity,
and free from vibration and dust.
•
Be sure the cable length from the Ethernet network source to
the terminal does not exceed 100 meters (333 Feet). The PoE
Injector is not a repeater and does not amplify the Ethernet
data signal
Installing the Unit
•
Connect the PoE Injector to an AC outlet (100-240 VAC), using
a standard power cord.
•
Connect
the unit
Data In
jack (input) to the Ethernet network
and the
Data & Power Out
jack (output) to the terminal.

NOTE: There is no “on-off” switch. Simply plug the PoE
Injector into an AC power source.

Troubleshooting Tips
•
Be sure AC power is applied to the PoE Injector, using
an operational AC cable with an appropriate ground
connection.
•
Use standard 4 pair (8 wires) UTP or FTP CAT5 cable.
•
Do not use a “crossover” type Ethernet cable.
•
Be sure the input Ethernet cable is connected to the
Data In
port.
•
Be sure the output Ethernet cable is connected to the
Data & Power Out
port.
•
Verify that the Ethernet cable length is less than 333 feet
(100 meters) from the Ethernet source to the load.
•
Verify that a power-ready Ethernet compatible device is
connected.
•
Verify that the cables and RJ-45 connectors have a tight
connection and there is not a “short” over the cables or
connectors.
Safety Information
Important Safety Information
•
Installation and removal of the PoE Injector must be
carried out by qualified personnel only.
AC Power Cord Set:
•
The power cord must have regulatory agency
approval for the specific country in which it is
used (i.e., UL, CSA, VDE, etc.).
•
The power cord must be a three-conductor
type (two current carrying conductors; one
ground conductor) terminated on one end by
an IEC 60320 appliance coupler (for
connection to the PoE Injector), and on the
other end by a plug containing a ground
(earthing) contact.
•
The power cord must be rated for a minimum
of 250VAC RMS operation, with a minimum
rated current capacity of 5 amps (or a
minimum wire gauge of 18 AWG (0.75mm
2
).
Note: PoE Injector units installed in Australia
require power cords with a minimum wire
gauge of 16 AWG (1.0 mm
2
).
•
The AC wall socket-outlet must be near the PoE Injector
and easily accessible. You can remove AC power from
the PoE Injector by disconnecting the AC power cord
from either the wall outlet or the PoE Injector coupler.
•
The PoE Injector data and data/power interfaces are
qualified as SELV (Safety Extra-Low Voltage) circuits
according to IEC 60950. These interfaces can only be
connected to SELV interfaces on other equipment.
