PowerBx PoE Adapters — Power and Gigabit Data Over a Single Ethernet Cable

The PowerBx PoE Adapter line delivers both power and high-speed Gigabit data to USB-C devices through a single Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A Ethernet cable — no power outlet required. Purpose-built for enterprise AV integrators, the PowerBx PoE Adapter installs cleanly into conference rooms, room scheduling displays, kiosks, digital signage, retail POS systems, and hybrid workplace deployments.

Choose the right unit for your deployment: the POE-GIG-DVR for reliable 5V fixed-output applications, the POE-GIG for multi-voltage USB-C Power Delivery across a broader range of devices and PoE infrastructure, or the POE-90W — a true 90W IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ injector built for demanding commercial AV environments, including unconditioned spaces where commodity injectors fall short.

POE-GIG — Multi-Voltage USB-C Power Delivery, 802.3af/at/bt

The POE-GIG is PowerBx's most versatile PoE adapter, engineered for enterprise AV integrators who need broader device compatibility and smarter power delivery. It auto-negotiates USB-C Power Delivery profiles at 5V, 9V, 12V, and 15V — delivering up to 3A — so the adapter matches exactly what your device requests. Fully compliant with IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt, it works with virtually any PoE switch or injector on the market.

Unlike fixed-voltage adapters that force 5V regardless of the device, the POE-GIG negotiates the correct voltage automatically — protecting devices and enabling faster, more efficient charging across a wider range of USB-C hardware.

• Auto-sensing USB-C PD: 5V, 9V, 12V, 15V — negotiates optimal voltage for the connected device
• Up to 3A output — more headroom than fixed-voltage competitors
• Gigabit Ethernet data and USB-C power delivered over a single cable

POE-90W — 90W PoE++ Injector for Commercial AV Installs

Most 90W PoE injectors on the market are built for indoor desktop use only — fine for a server room, but not rated for the unconditioned closets, loading docks, or semi-exposed equipment spaces common in commercial AV installations. The PowerBx POE-90W closes that gap.

Full IEEE 802.3bt (Type 4, Class 8) compliance means true 90W delivery — not a derated or proprietary implementation — for high-draw PTZ cameras, wireless access points, and PoE-powered displays. A -20°C to +60°C operating range puts it well above commodity desktop injectors, which typically aren't rated outside standard indoor conditions. AV integrators get a unit they can trust in real-world installation environments without stepping up to industrial DIN-rail pricing. Universal 100–240V AC input means one SKU works across domestic and international deployments.

At $99, the POE-90W sits well below industrial-grade injectors in the $150–250+ range while delivering the same core PoE++ standard and a meaningfully wider temperature tolerance than the commodity tier.

• Full 802.3bt/at/af compliance — true 90W output (Type 4, Class 8), not derated
• Extended operating range: -20°C to +60°C — rated for unconditioned spaces, telecom closets, semi-outdoor installs
• Universal 100–240V AC input — one SKU, domestic and international deployments
• Gigabit throughput up to 120m on pure copper Cat6 — longer runs than standard spec
• 1× Data input (RJ45) + 1× Data + Power output (RJ45 PoE) — clean single-cable to device
• LED indicators: Power + Port Link/PoE status
• Backed by PowerBx enterprise support

Frequently Asked Questions

What PoE switch or injector do I need?
The POE-GIG-DVR requires an IEEE 802.3af switch or injector. The POE-GIG works with 802.3af, 802.3at (PoE+), and 802.3bt (PoE++) — the broadest compatibility in this class. The POE-90W is itself an injector: connect your network switch to the Data input port, and your PoE device to the Data + Power output port. It requires an AC power source (100–240V). Do not use passive 24V PoE — these are not IEEE 802.3 compliant.

What is the difference between POE-GIG-DVR and POE-GIG?
The POE-GIG-DVR outputs a fixed 5V and works with IEEE 802.3af switches. The POE-GIG auto-negotiates USB-C Power Delivery at 5V, 9V, 12V, or 15V — up to 3A — and accepts 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt input. If your device supports USB-C PD fast charging or requires more than 5V, the POE-GIG is the correct choice.

What makes the POE-90W different from a standard desktop PoE injector?
Most commodity 90W injectors are rated for standard indoor conditions only — typically 0°C to 40°C. The POE-90W is rated -20°C to +60°C, making it suitable for telecom closets, equipment rooms without climate control, loading docks, and covered outdoor enclosures. It also supports extended Gigabit runs up to 120m on pure copper Cat6.

What cable type should I use?
The POE-GIG-DVR and POE-GIG use Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat6A — up to 100m. The POE-90W supports Cat5/5e/6 up to 100m and pure copper Cat6 up to 120m. For runs over 100 feet, Cat6A is recommended for optimal performance on adapter units.

Does the POE-90W support backward compatibility with 802.3af and 802.3at devices?
Yes. The POE-90W is fully compliant with IEEE 802.3bt, 802.3at, and 802.3af, so it will negotiate the correct power level for any standard PoE powered device — from low-draw scheduling panels to 90W high-draw equipment.

Do the adapters require any configuration or software?
No. All PowerBx PoE products are plug-and-play. No drivers, software, or configuration required.

Is the POE-90W compatible with international deployments?
Yes. Universal AC input (100–240V, 50/60Hz) means the same unit works in the US and internationally without an adapter or voltage converter.

Is this compatible with Ubiquiti PoE switches?
Ubiquiti switches often use passive 24V PoE, which is not IEEE 802.3 compliant. The PowerBx PoE adapters require standard 48V IEEE 802.3af/at/bt input. Verify your switch provides compliant PoE output before use.
