Product Description
The Linksys Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit lets you put your access points almost anywhere, by removing the requirement of nearby power outlets. By using the existing Category 5 Ethernet cabling to deliver power to any standard 5 volt access point or other network device, you save the time, hassle, and expense of running AC power to the access point's installation location.The best position for a wireless access point is usually on the ceiling, in the center of the area to be covered. Second best would be high on a nearby wall. Unfortunately, there's usually no easily accessible AC power plugs available in these locations. With the Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit, installing the access point in these preferred spots becomes far less trouble.The Power Over Ethernet Adapter Kit is a two piece set. The "Injector" sends both power and data over one Category 5 cable to your access point, wireless router or bridge. Then the tiny "Splitter", placed at the remote location, separates the network data and DC power back into two cables, and delivers them to the access point. The Injector can also be used by itself with POE-enabled network devices that accept 48 volts directly on a POE port.

 Easy to use December 29, 2007
The hardest part I had in setting up the product was identifying the ethernet cable that went to the remote location. After that was taken care of, I plugged everything in and it worked. (Yes, I'm working on labeling my cables.)
 great idea, poor POE standard support September 24, 2007
says it will work with standard POE on Linksys WAP200 without the endpoint adapter, but it made the ethernet flaky. to get it to be reliable I had to use both ends.
12 Product Solution October 31, 2006

br /Linksys makes a version of this unit ( WAPPOE12 ) - that is designed for 12 volt systems.
Great Product, Shouldn't Be Used With 12V Equipment. February 8, 2006
6 out of 8 found this review helpful
I'll be the second engineer to tell you not to use this product with any 12V equipment. Devices require some fixed amount of power to operate and when you supply 5V to a device that expects 12V, it's going to get the power, at the expense of drawing over twice as much current. This will cause the device to operate outside its operating specifications, probably run hotter, and probably fail earlier.
It really does work with 12v December 2, 2005
I have the WRT54G v.2 that uses a 12 volt power supply. I plugged this PoE in and it worked right way even thought it said 5v output. It has been running now for 4 months with no problems. I guess the reviewer who is "the engineer with 25 years experience" was incorrect- experience does not count for actually doing it.
