Description
The TP-Link POE380S stands as a critical infrastructure component for modern, high-bandwidth networks. By combining 10 Gbps Multi-Gigabit data speeds with the robust IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard, this injector provides a seamless bridge for devices that demand both extreme throughput and significant power. Its integrated power supply and durable metal chassis ensure a stable, professional-grade installation in any environment, from server rooms to desktop setups.
This product is for:
- Enterprise IT Managers: Ideal for deploying high-density Wi-Fi 6E or Wi-Fi 7 access points that require more than 30W of power and multi-gigabit backhaul.
- Security Professionals: Perfect for powering advanced 4K PTZ IP cameras with heaters and blowers that exceed standard PoE+ power budgets.
- Small Business Owners: A cost-effective solution to upgrade specific network segments to 10G speeds without replacing non-PoE switches.
- Home Lab Enthusiasts: Provides a reliable power and data source for high-end NAS units or 10G-capable workstations in a compact form factor.
- System Integrators: Offers a flexible, plug-and-play mounting solution for diverse environments with both wall-mount and desktop options.

Operating the POE380S is a completely transparent experience thanks to its plug-and-play design. There is no software configuration required; the device automatically detects the power requirements of the connected Powered Device (PD) to prevent electrical damage. The fanless design ensures silent operation, while the sturdy metal housing provides superior heat dissipation, maintaining performance even under full 90W load in temperatures up to 45°C.
Compared to standard Gigabit PoE+ injectors, the POE380S offers a ten-fold increase in data throughput and triple the power delivery. While entry-level injectors are limited to 1 Gbps and 30W (802.3at), the POE380S supports the 802.3bt standard, making it future-proof for the next generation of IoT and networking hardware. It eliminates the bottleneck often found in older injectors when paired with Multi-Gigabit switches and high-performance endpoints.
Q&A:
- Does the POE380S support 10Gbps speeds? Yes, it features two Multi-Gigabit ports supporting 10 Gbps, 5 Gbps, 2.5 Gbps, 1 Gbps, 100 Mbps, and 10 Mbps.
- What is the maximum power this injector can provide? It delivers up to 90W of power, compliant with the IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ standard.
- Is it safe to use with non-PoE devices? The injector features auto-sensing technology that ensures power is only delivered to compatible PoE devices, protecting non-PoE equipment from damage.
- Do I need a separate power adapter? No, the POE380S features a built-in power supply; you simply connect the included AC power cord directly to the unit.
- What are the mounting options for this device? The unit is designed for versatility and can be placed on a desktop or mounted to a wall using the integrated mounting slots.
