Conforming to the 802.3at PoE+ standard, this injector can deliver 30 watts of power over Ethernet, making it ideal for powering a wide range of networking devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras, and even eero Outdoor 7 units (a popular line of outdoor Wi-Fi mesh routers). Ubiquiti, known for its high-quality networking hardware, has designed this injector to offer a reliable, compact, and cost-effective way of providing both power and data over a single Ethernet cable. This review explores the Ubiquiti PoE Injector’s features, performance, and compatibility with the eero Outdoor 7 system to determine if this is a viable solution for powering and supporting eero’s mesh network deployment in outdoor environments. Key Features of the Ubiquiti PoE Injector: 802.3at PoE+ Support (30W) Power Output: The Ubiquiti PoE Injector delivers 30W of PoE+ power, which is ideal for devices that require more than the 15W provided by the 802.3af standard. This makes it suitable for high-performance network equipment, including Ubiquiti’s own access points, IP cameras, and other PoE+ devices. PoE+ Standard Compliance: By adhering to the IEEE 802.3at PoE+ standard, this injector ensures compatibility with any device that supports PoE+, offering flexibility to power a wide range of equipment from different manufacturers. Compact and Efficient Design Size and Build: The PoE injector features a compact plastic housing, making it easy to install in tight spaces or mount on a wall. Its small footprint is particularly useful for installations where space is limited or when keeping equipment discreet is important. Efficiency: The Ubiquiti PoE injector is designed for low power loss during transmission, which is a critical factor when transmitting power over extended distances. This makes it an energy-efficient solution, minimizing wasted energy and improving the overall reliability of the network. Safety and Protection Features Short Circuit Protection: The injector comes with built-in protection against short circuits, ensuring that both the injector and connected devices are protected from electrical failures. Overload and Overvoltage Protection: These safety features prevent the injector and connected devices from suffering damage in the event of power surges or other electrical irregularities, offering peace of mind in outdoor installations. IEEE 802.3af/at Compliance: By meeting these standards, the injector ensures that it operates within safe voltage ranges for both the injector and the powered devices, which is essential for device longevity and safety. Versatility for a Range of Devices Compatibility with Various PoE Devices: The Ubiquiti PoE Injector can power not only Ubiquiti devices but also a broad range of 802.3af and 802.3at PoE+ devices from other manufacturers. This flexibility allows it to be used in multi-vendor environments without worrying about compatibility issues. Ease of Installation Plug-and-Play: The PoE injector is designed for simplicity, offering a plug-and-play installation process. Users just need to connect an Ethernet cable from the injector’s data-in port to their router or switch, then connect the data and power-out cable to the powered device (in this case, an eero Outdoor 7 unit). No Additional Power Adapters Required: The injector eliminates the need for separate power adapters, making for a cleaner, more streamlined installation with fewer cables. Compatibility with eero Outdoor 7 Units: The eero Outdoor 7 is part of eero’s lineup of mesh Wi-Fi systems designed specifically for outdoor environments. These units extend the reach of your home Wi-Fi network into your yard, driveway, or garden, providing fast, reliable Wi-Fi coverage in areas where traditional indoor routers might struggle. The eero Outdoor 7 uses PoE+ to simplify installation by requiring only a single Ethernet cable to deliver both data and power. Power Requirements of eero Outdoor 7: The eero Outdoor 7 unit requires PoE+ (802.3at) for power, which aligns perfectly with the Ubiquiti PoE Injector specifications. As the eero Outdoor 7 requires up to 30W of power, the Ubiquiti PoE Injector with its 30W PoE+ output is perfectly suited to power the unit. PoE+ Compatibility: The eero Outdoor 7 specifically supports 802.3at PoE+, meaning it requires a PoE injector or switch that complies with the 802.3at standard and is capable of providing up to 30 watts of power over Ethernet. The Ubiquiti PoE Injector, with its 30W PoE+ output, fits this requirement precisely, ensuring that it can reliably power the eero Outdoor 7 units. Installation Considerations: The Ubiquiti PoE Injector is easy to install with the eero Outdoor 7 units, as it simplifies the setup by providing both power and data over the same Ethernet cable. This is especially beneficial for outdoor installations where running multiple cables for power and data might be cumbersome. Weatherproofing: While the eero Outdoor 7 is designed for outdoor use, the Ubiquiti PoE Injector is not weatherproof and should only be used indoors. If you’re setting up the eero Outdoor 7 outside, you’ll need to ensure that the PoE injector is placed indoors or in a weatherproof enclosure. The eero Outdoor 7’s Ethernet port is designed to be weather-resistant, but the PoE injector must be kept dry to avoid electrical hazards. Performance: In terms of performance, the Ubiquiti PoE Injector, 802.3at, 30W PoE+ delivers reliable power for eero Outdoor 7 units. The injector's ability to consistently provide 30W of power ensures that the eero unit operates efficiently without interruptions. Whether for high-bandwidth activities such as streaming, gaming, or video conferencing, the Ubiquiti PoE Injector helps maintain optimal performance levels. The Ubiquiti PoE Injector is capable of powering eero Outdoor 7 units at the full 30W required, ensuring that there are no power-related issues that could impact the Wi-Fi performance. The injector also provides stable power even at longer distances (up to 100 meters) using Cat5 or Cat6 Ethernet cables, which is crucial for outdoor installations where the distance between the injector and the eero unit might be significant. Pros: Perfect Match for eero Outdoor 7: Delivers the necessary 30W of power over Ethernet, ensuring compatibility with the eero Outdoor 7 unit. Compact and Efficient: The small form factor and efficient power delivery make it ideal for both residential and commercial setups. Easy Setup: Plug-and-play installation with no need for separate power cables or adapters. Safety Features: Includes short circuit, overload, and overvoltage protection for peace of mind during use. Versatile: Compatible with a wide range of PoE+ devices beyond just Ubiquiti products, making it a flexible addition to any network setup. Cons: Indoor Use Only: The PoE injector is not weatherproof, so it needs to be used in a sheltered indoor location or in conjunction with weatherproof housing if used outdoors. Limited to 30W Output: While 30W is sufficient for the eero Outdoor 7, it may not be adequate for devices requiring more power (such as high-performance PTZ cameras or larger access points). Requires Additional PoE Switch or Router: If you are deploying multiple eero Outdoor 7 units, you will need to use multiple PoE injectors or a PoE switch, which adds to the equipment cost. Conclusion: The Ubiquiti PoE Injector 802.3at, 30W PoE+ is an excellent power solution for outdoor installations, particularly when used with eero Outdoor 7 units. With 802.3at PoE+ support, it provides the required 30W of power and works seamlessly with eero’s mesh Wi-Fi technology. It simplifies the installation process by transmitting both data and power over a single Ethernet cable, reducing cable clutter and installation time. While the injector is not weatherproof and needs to be installed indoors or in a protective enclosure, it excels in terms of power delivery, safety features, and ease of use. For users looking to deploy an eero Outdoor 7 setup in their yard, garden, or other outdoor spaces, the Ubiquiti PoE Injector offers a cost-effective, reliable, and efficient solution.
