Key Features
Power Over Ethernet Adapter
The DWL-P100 Power Over Ethernet (PoE) adapter is designed to supply operational power to wireless LAN devices such as 
access points, bridges and routers. It enable power current to travel on the Ethernet network cable, thus eliminates the need to 
directly connect a power supply to the wireless LAN device. 
Facilitates Installation
Data and DC Power Transmission on the Same 
Network Cable
The Power Over Ethernet allows you to install the wireless 
LAN device at places such as on a building rooftop, on or 
near a ceiling, or other difficult places where power is not 
easily accessible. The idea is increase the usefulness of 
your wireless LAN to provide connectivity to users 
regardless of their proximity to a power outlet or a network 
cable.
On a standard UTP Category 5 cable, only two pairs (pins 
1, 2, 3 and 6) are used for Ethernet data transfer. Power 
Over Ethernet is designed to take advantage of the unused 
pins of the remaining pair of cable wires. Consequently, a 
single Category 5 cable will now carry both Ethernet data 
and DC power. The idea is to supply the remote end with 
power and the requirements of Ethernet connectivity via a 
single Cat 5 cable. 
Base Unit and Terminal Unit
The DWL-P100 includes a base unit and a terminal unit. At one 
end, the base unit inserts DC voltage into the unused wires 
(pins 4, 5, 7 and 8) of the network cable. At the other end, the 
terminal unit splits the data and DC power apart. Data signals 
continue to travel on remaining network cables, while DC 
power is fed into the power adapter, which connects to an AC 
power outlet.
