The Adapter transforms almost any Ubiquiti PoE (Power over Ethernet) device into a fully compliant 48V, 802.3af-compatible product. The Adapter works seamlessly with a variety of 802.3af switches for remote power control applications. As you manage and monitor your network, you can conveniently power or power cycle your remote devices using your 802.3af switch. For ease of power management, you can centralize the 802.3af switch and power source, and you can include a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply) as a backup. This way your network continues to run even during a temporary power outage. The Adapter provides an additional +/- 15kV of Ethernet isolation for built-in protection that lessens the risk of ESD or surge damage to your devices.
