POE-PA24W PoE Injector, 24W — 24V 1A or 48V 0.5A

The POE-PA24W is a single-port Gigabit PoE injector that adds Power over Ethernet to a network run without replacing the switch. It takes universal AC input (90–264V) and delivers 24W over the Ethernet cable, available in two output versions — 24V 1A or 48V 0.5A — specified per order.

When You Need an Injector

A PoE injector solves a specific problem: one or two devices need power over the network cable, but the switch feeding them does not supply it. Rather than replacing a working switch with a PoE model, the injector sits inline on that single run — AC in, data and power out over one cable.

Typical cases are a single access point added to an existing office network, a camera at the end of a run, or a bench setup where the installer needs to power and configure a device before it goes to site. For deployments with more than a handful of PoE devices, a PoE switch is cleaner and cheaper per port.

Two Versions, One Housing

The 24V and 48V versions share the same enclosure, the same ports, and the same 24W rating — the only difference is output voltage. They cannot be told apart by sight. Specify the voltage when ordering, match it to what the powered device documents, and label units on arrival if you stock both.

Getting this wrong is the most common failure mode with injectors. Voltage applied to equipment not designed to accept it on those cable pairs can damage the device, and the RJ45 connector fits regardless. Check the powered device’s documented input before connecting — a matching connector is not confirmation of compatibility.

Where the 24V Version Belongs

MossLink’s passive-PoE wireless bridges — the WB510C, WB630, WB730 and similar models — run on 24V 1A passive PoE and ship with adapters in the box. This SKU is normally ordered as a spare or replacement for those links: a lost adapter on a live site, a spare kept in the van, or bulk stock for an installer maintaining a fleet of bridges.

The 48V version is supplied for equipment documented to accept 48V on the cable pairs. Confirm against the device’s own documentation before ordering.

Not for 802.3at or 802.3af Devices

This injector supplies a fixed output rather than performing the IEEE 802.3af/at detection handshake. Standards-based powered devices — including the APH6-AX3000 and APH6-AX5400 outdoor access points (802.3at) and the AP240 and AP3000G (802.3af) — expect that handshake before they draw power, and should be fed from a PoE switch port or a standards-compliant injector of the matching class. Ask us if you are unsure which source a given MossLink model needs; we would rather answer the question than replace a damaged unit.

Surge Protection and Placement

The injector carries ±6kV differential and ±6kV common-mode surge protection, useful on runs that leave the building. The housing is rated 0°C to +40°C for indoor use only: in outdoor deployments it belongs in the equipment room or cabinet, with only the Ethernet cable running out to the pole.

Ordering

The injector ships with a 1m cable and a plug type of your choice — US, EU, UK or AU — and distributors shipping to several regions can split plug types across a single order. The universal 90–264V input means one unit covers every mains standard; only the plug changes.

MossLink supplies PoE accessories to integrators and distributors with OEM and ODM options including housing colour, label and packaging branding, plug and cable-length variants, and private-label packaging.
