Is it for you?
A 2.5G PoE+ injector from TP-Link that feeds power plus data over one Ethernet cable, supplying up to 30W to any 802.3af/at powered device over a 2.5 Gbps link.
Choose it if these matter
- Fully complies with 802.3af/at and auto-negotiates the required power up to 30W, working with any compliant powered device
- Plug-and-play with wall or desk mounting and no configuration needed
Skip it if these rule it out
- Indoor only: 0 to 40 C operating temperature and no weatherproof rating, so it cannot power an outdoor device at the far end from outside
- Supplies PoE+ (30W), not PoE++ (60W or more), so higher-power devices such as Wi-Fi 7 tri-band access points with radios fully loaded may exceed its budget
- No gigabit link aggregation or managed features; it is a simple single-device injector

Watch out
- TL-POE260S supplies up to 30W (PoE+); higher-power PoE++ devices need a different injector.
- Both of its RJ45 ports are 2.5 Gbps, but the powered device must also support 2.5GBASE-T to link above 1 Gbps.
