PoE power supplies deliver up to 15 watts, PoE+ supplies deliver up to 30 watts, and PoE++ supplies deliver up to 60 watts for devices that require more power. Select a Ubiquiti power supply that matches the device’s supported PoE type and power requirement.

Check the connected device’s required PoE standard and wattage, then choose a compatible Ubiquiti power supply rated to provide at least that amount of power, such as 15W, 30W, or 60W options. Also verify the adapter’s connector, input requirements, and installation environment, since matching wattage alone does not establish compatibility.

PoE power supplies typically use an RJ45 Ethernet connection for the incoming network data and a PoE-enabled RJ45 output to carry both data and power to the connected device. On the electrical side, they connect to AC power through a grounded power cable, while some configurations use an IEC-320 C6 connector or include a short Ethernet cable for outdoor installations.

Use an outdoor PoE converter when the adapter will be installed outdoors or when a PoE device needs conversion to 24V PoE compliance. Use an indoor PoE power supply in a protected location when the device needs a separate PoE, PoE+, or PoE++ power source with the appropriate output level.
