Edimax GP-201IT PoE adapter 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet 30W

The Edimax GP-201IT PoE adapter delivers 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet connectivity and up to 30W of power over a single Ethernet cable. Designed for deployments up to 100 meters, this metal-bodied injector complies with IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards and accepts 100–240V input, eliminating the need for a large external power brick.

Advantages

This PoE adapter integrates a built-in 30W power supply for direct connection to an AC outlet, saving space and simplifying installation. Dual 10/100/1000/2500 Mbps ports provide faster, more reliable data transfer while delivering power to devices at distances up to 100 m. The unit supports plug-and-play operation with no additional software or configuration and includes a wall-mountable metal enclosure for flexible and durable installation.

Suitable for

• IP surveillance cameras
• Wireless access points and network AP deployments
• Digital signage displays
• POS terminals, information kiosks and RFID readers
• Access control panels, thin clients, alarms and sensors

How to use

Connect the GP-201IT to AC mains using the included power cord, then connect the network switch or router to the injector’s input RJ-45 port and your PoE-enabled device to the output RJ-45 port. The adapter supplies power and data over a single Ethernet cable; no additional configuration or software is required. Ensure Ethernet cabling and connected devices support the required speeds and PoE class.

Recommendations

Install the injector in a dry, ventilated location and use quality Cat5e or higher cabling for 2.5 Gigabit operation. For camera or AP placements close to the 100 m limit, verify device power consumption to ensure the 30W budget is sufficient.
