USB-C PoE converter for modern network devices
The Extralink AT-USBC-JB-V3 PoE converter is an ideal solution for situations where you want to power a USB-C device using PoE (Power over Ethernet) technology. It allows for simultaneous data transfer and power supply over a single Ethernet cable, reducing cable clutter, simplifying installation, and making network setup more cost-effective.
Advantages of PoE technology
Power over Ethernet allows the network cable to not only transmit data but also provide power. This PoE converter makes the use of separate power supplies and extenders optional, especially in places where the number of available outlets is limited.
- Lower installation and maintenance costs
- Cleaner, more organized cabling
- Greater flexibility in device placement
- Easier network expansion and relocation
USB-C power supply and compatibility
The USB-C connector is now found on most modern devices, whether it's an IP phone, smaller network devices, mini PCs, IP cameras, or other IoT solutions. This converter allows you to power such devices through an existing PoE network infrastructure via a USB-C port. The device provides stable output voltage, ensuring continuous, reliable operation.
Applications
The PoE–USB-C converter is particularly useful in environments where continuous data connection and reliable power supply are critical. Devices can be operated in locations where it is more difficult to set up outlets, such as hallways, ceilings, outdoor cabinets, or security centers.
- IP telephone systems and corporate VoIP systems
- Power supply for IP cameras and surveillance systems
- Supplementing corporate network devices, routers, switches
- Powering smart home and IoT solutions from a PoE network
- Infrastructure for temporary systems, events, exhibitions
Easy installation and use
Using the PoE converter does not require special expertise. The installation process can be completed in a few steps:
- Connect the Ethernet cable from the PoE capable switch or PoE injector to the converter's network port.
- Connect the USB-C cable to the converter's output.
- Connect the device with a USB-C input (e.g., IP phone, IP camera, mini PC).
- Check the LED indicators (if available) to ensure power and data connection are functioning properly.
Since no extra settings or software configuration are needed, the device operates in plug and play mode: the network recognizes the new endpoint and is ready for use immediately.
Reliable, stable operation
The PoE – USB-C converter has internal protection circuits that provide protection against overvoltage, overcurrent, and short circuits. This means greater safety for both the connected device and the network. Thanks to stable voltage regulation, the connected device can operate continuously without interruption over the long term.
Ideal choice for corporate and home use
Simplifying network infrastructure is now an important consideration not only for large companies but also for smaller offices, home offices, and even private residences. The PoE converter allows you to:
- Use fewer power supplies and extenders
- Flexibly place network devices
- Build a scalable, expandable system
- Effectively utilize the capabilities of existing PoE switches or injectors
Whether you are building a new system or expanding your existing network, this PoE–USB-C converter offers a reliable and modern solution for powering devices and data connection over a single Ethernet cable.
