Injector: Adds power to the network (Ethernet) cable. Used to power a PoE device (e.g. security camera) when your router or switch does not already provide power.
Repeater: Works as a repeater. Extends the range of the network signal and PoE power beyond the standard 100-meter limit, without requiring an additional power outlet in between.
Splitter: It does the opposite job of an injector. It takes the common PoE cable and "splits" the power from the data into two separate cables, allowing the powering of devices that are not PoE-enabled.
12V: It refers to splitters that step down the voltage to supply power to simple, non-PoE routers or switches that use the standard round 12-volt DC connector.
24V: Used exclusively in passive systems (e.g., specific outdoor Ubiquiti AirMax or MikroTik models). Warning: Do not connect it to Active 48V/54V devices.
48V: The most common voltage for standard access points, IP cameras, and VoIP phones. Supports the smart PoE standards (802.3af) and PoE+ (802.3at) with complete safety.
54V / 56V: High voltage for advanced or enterprise devices (such as modern Wi‑Fi 6/7 access points and PTZ cameras). Supports the powerful PoE++ standard (802.3bt) for maximum power.
Gigabit (1000 Mbps): The most common choice. Ideal for most mainstream Access Points, high-definition (HD) cameras, and home networking devices.
2.5 Gbps: Critical for modern, fast Wi‑Fi 6 and Wi‑Fi 7 access points. It enables data transfer without delays and network bottlenecks.
Fast Ethernet (10/100 Mbps): Suitable for simple devices with low speed requirements, such as basic IP security cameras or fixed VoIP phones.
5 Gbps: Ideal for advanced Wi-Fi 7 Access Points, fast switch ports (Multi-Gigabit), and premium networking equipment that requires high speeds without bottlenecks.
10 Gbps: The maximum Ethernet speed. Unmatched for enterprise/corporate Access Points, high-end NAS (storage systems), servers, and network backbone connections.
