D-link Systems DPE-301GI 1-port Gigabit Poe Injector

Product Description

The D-Link Systems DPE-301GI is a single-port Gigabit Power over Ethernet injector designed to deliver both data connectivity and DC power over a single Ethernet cable to a connected device. It eliminates the need for a separate power adapter at the powered device end, making it a practical solution for installations where running additional AC power lines is impractical or costly. Network technicians and low-voltage installers commonly deploy this unit in commercial and light industrial environments where IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, or similar Gigabit-capable devices require both network access and power at the same drop point.

The DPE-301GI is suited for single-device PoE deployments in both new construction and retrofit scenarios. It connects inline between an existing Ethernet switch and the powered device, requiring no special PoE-capable switch on the upstream side. This makes it useful for adding PoE capability to a specific port without replacing existing network infrastructure. Typical applications include IP security camera installs, wireless AP ceiling mounts, and access control readers in commercial buildings.

Key Features

• Single-port design delivers power and data over one Ethernet cable
• Gigabit-speed data throughput supports bandwidth-intensive devices
• Inline installation works with any standard Ethernet switch upstream
• Eliminates the need for a local AC power outlet at the powered device
• Sold as an individual unit, one injector per package

Compatibility

Designed for use with Gigabit Ethernet-capable powered devices such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and access control equipment that accept PoE input per standard PoE specifications.

Installation Notes

Installation is typically performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or network installer. Power down or unplug the injector before making or changing Ethernet connections to the powered device. Ensure cabling meets Cat5e or better standards for Gigabit performance and that total cable run lengths comply with IEEE 802.3 specifications. Verify the powered device is rated to accept PoE input before connecting to avoid equipment damage.
