Ubiquiti Networks INS-3AF-O-G PoE Injectors
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the Ubiquiti INS-3AF-O-G PoE injector used for?
The INS-3AF-O-G is an Instant 802.3af Passive PoE to 802.3af Adapter that converts passive PoE input to standard 802.3af output. It's designed to power devices that require 802.3af PoE when used with non-PoE switches or when upgrading legacy systems. We offer this adapter as a solution for extending compatibility across your UniFi network infrastructure.
What are the power specifications for the INS-3AF-O-G?
The INS-3AF-O-G accepts 48V DC input and provides 24V, 500mA output, delivering up to 12W of power to connected devices. This makes it suitable for powering UniFi access points and other devices that require 802.3af PoE at these power levels. Contact us today if you need to verify compatibility with your specific equipment.
Is the INS-3AF-O-G compatible with UniFi switches?
Yes, the INS-3AF-O-G is compatible with UniFi switches and is specifically listed as a required adapter for certain UniFi AP and camera models that need 802.3af power when used with switches that provide only 802.3af output. According to Ubiquiti documentation, models like the UVC-G3 and UVC-G3-DOME require the INS-3AF-O-G or INS-3AF-I-G converter. Visit barcodesinc.com to verify compatibility with your exact switch and endpoint models.
What network connectivity does the INS-3AF-O-G provide?
The INS-3AF-O-G features one 10/100/1000Base-T input port and one 10/100/1000Base-T output port, providing Gigabit Ethernet connectivity. This allows it to pass high-speed network data while simultaneously injecting power to PoE devices without requiring separate cabling.
Can the INS-3AF-O-G be used with NanoStation devices?
Yes, according to Ubiquiti documentation, NanoStation M models can become 48V, 802.3af compliant through use of the Ubiquiti Instant 802.3af Adapter, which includes the INS-3AF-O-G. This makes it an effective solution for upgrading legacy wireless equipment to modern PoE standards. Contact us today for assistance with your specific NanoStation deployment.
What is the difference between passive PoE input and 802.3af output on this adapter?
The INS-3AF-O-G accepts passive PoE input (48V DC) and converts it to standard 802.3af PoE output (24V, 500mA). This conversion allows devices designed for standard 802.3af PoE to work with systems using passive PoE power delivery, bridging compatibility between different PoE standards. Available from us for networks requiring this adapter for legacy or mixed-standard deployments.
