Product Description
The DWL-P200 Power over Ethernet Adapter provides DC power to a network device, such as a wireless access point or Internet camera. The DWL-P200 can send power over a standard Cat5 Ethernet cable for distances up to 328 feet (100m). Using a single Ethernet cable that delivers both data and power eliminates the need to connect your Ethernet-enabled device directly into a power outlet. Power over Ethernet technology gives you greater freedom in device placement and easier cable management. |

I have a WRT54G linksys router. I have it very far away from my internet modem. In the room were the router is there is no UPS (I live in Dominican Republic) so, I have installed this to my UPS and I was able to send the power over the ethernet cable to the router from my room. I you’re asking why not to have the router closed to my room it is because the room where the router is now is the central location of my home.

First off, I’m sure that this is a great product for what it’s supposed to do. But i was looking at all of the other POE adapters and wondering why this one was so much cheaper, I bought it and thought I was getting a steal. When it came in the mail I was confused this POE adapter unlike most of the others requires for a long long ethernet cable (not included) to be ran from your router to the device you want to hook it up to, it isn’t one of those wall to wall ethernet adapters. So in short if you know what your doing buy this product, if not Don’t. Know I have to purchase another POE adapter so that i can finally get my XBox 360 online.

Even when you can’t get power to a remote router, you can take advantage of your ethernet line to operate the unit and it provides the means to easily reset the unit by toggling the power remotely. This solution is perfect for an application where power is not available in a ceiling or in the rafters for running a wireless access point or router.

Installation went without a hitch, excellent directions. My reason for 4 stars is that the power adapter cord to the device that you are powering thru this system only has one size of “barrel plug”, about 3mm. Fortunately it fit my Netgear WGR614 wireless G router, but some newer routers (such as the popular D-link DIR-855) have a larger power port, and no adapter is included in this kit. Also make sure that your device to be powered thru this adapter is either 5V DC (2.5A) or 12V DC (1A), which are the only two outputs that can be selected. D-link also cautions that the device must be “compliant with IEEE 802.3af standard”, meaning that the data is transmitter through the 1,2,3,6 wires of the ethernet cable and power through 4,5,7,8 wires (this is the most common wiring configuration).
