About TP-Link TP-LINK TL-PoE160S
Overall Feedback:
92% positive
82% liked the compact and durable design
The build quality of the POE injector and splitter is better when ordered separately. They are made of black plastic, are gigabit and 802.3af compliant. The POE injector comes with the 48v adapter.
We needed powerline-network-adapters to supply power to microphones for our 4 cameras that do not have built-in audio.
The powerline-network-adapters work with my POE 802.3af switches and midspan adapters without any trouble.
90% praised the connectivity, but 10% experienced issues
TP-Link has a PoE ethernet cable that splits into a regular data ethernet connector output and a selectable 6/9/12 VDC connector output.
I used the TP-LINK PoE injector & splitter kit to connect two buildings that are 150 meters apart with a CAT5e ethernet cable. I placed the PoE injector at the beginning of the cable, the splitter at the 50 meter mark powered from the PoE injector and the ethernet cable continues on for the last 100m.
When using only the power connection, I noticed that the device requires an active device on the ethernet port to stay on.
95% found it easy to set up and install
The powerline-network-adapters are very easy to install and offer compact, reasonably priced options with 5, 9 and 12 volt outputs.
The device includes a short 2.1mm coaxial DC jumper for powering it.
76% found the network speed to be fast and reliable, but 24% experienced slow speeds
The white units from the kit are only 10/100 and non-802.3af compliant, but the POE injector and splitter ordered separately are gigabit and 802.3af compliant.
93% praised the extended range and coverage
I am building a large-scale video security network covering an area of about 40 hectares (100 acres).
I have not faced any trouble with the powerline adapters as they work with my POE 802.3af switches and midspan adapters.
My powerline-network-adapters have been working at 5v for 6 months with no problem.
