Product Features
Technical Overview
The TPE-215GI operates as a transparent bridge between your network switch and PoE device, injecting both data and power onto a single Ethernet cable. It supports the complete IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) standards, automatically detecting connected devices and delivering the appropriate power level up to 30W for PoE+ equipment.
This 2.5GBASE-T compliant injector maintains full 2.5Gbps data rates across its 100-meter maximum distance, ensuring no performance degradation for bandwidth-intensive applications. The unit's internal power supply eliminates external power bricks while the NDAA/TAA compliance makes it suitable for government and enterprise procurement in the United States and Canada.

Deployment / Use Cases
The TPE-215GI is ideal for expanding PoE capabilities in environments where upgrading to PoE switches is impractical or cost-prohibitive. Its 2.5Gbps throughput makes it particularly valuable for modern wireless access points, high-resolution surveillance systems, and other bandwidth-intensive PoE devices that benefit from faster-than-gigabit connectivity.
Common deployment scenarios include retrofitting older office networks with PoE for VoIP phone systems, adding wireless access points in educational facilities without switch replacement, and powering high-resolution IP cameras in security installations where both power and high-bandwidth video streams are required. The injector's 100-meter reach allows flexible device placement throughout facilities while maintaining both power and data integrity.
Wireless Network Expansion
Deploy modern Wi-Fi 6/6E access points that require both PoE+ power and 2.5Gbps backhaul connections without replacing existing network switches.
Surveillance System Upgrades
Power high-resolution IP cameras with 4K/8K video streams that demand both substantial power and bandwidth beyond standard gigabit Ethernet.
Physical Profile
The TPE-215GI features a compact desktop design measuring 9 inches in length, 6 inches in width, and 1 inch in height (228.60 × 152.40 × 25.40 mm). This slim profile allows flexible placement on desks, shelves, or equipment racks without consuming significant space. The unit's integrated power supply eliminates external power adapters, reducing cable clutter and simplifying installation in space-constrained environments.
