Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G PoE Adapter

Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G | 48V PoE to 802.3af Gigabit Converter

The Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G PoE adapter Gigabit Ethernet 48 V bridges legacy 24V Ubiquiti PoE devices with modern 802.3af-compliant networks, delivering seamless power and data integration for professional installations.

Key Specifications

Reliable Power Delivery for Mixed Networks

This converter ensures your existing 24V Ubiquiti PoE devices operate flawlessly on standard 802.3af switches. By transforming the power signature, it eliminates compatibility headaches when upgrading network infrastructure. The 0.5A output current provides stable power delivery for most small to medium PoE devices, making it ideal for security cameras, access points, and VoIP phones in hybrid network environments.

Gigabit Ethernet Performance

With full Gigabit Ethernet support, the INS-3AF-I-G maintains maximum data throughput without bottlenecks. The RJ-45 ports support auto-negotiation for optimal speed and duplex settings. This ensures your connected devices achieve their rated performance whether you’re streaming high-definition video or managing large file transfers across your network.

Built-in Protection for Professional Installations

The 15kV surge protection safeguards both the converter and connected devices against electrical spikes. This industrial-grade protection is essential for outdoor deployments or installations in areas prone to electrical interference. The compact 50g design and white finish allow for discreet mounting in various environments while maintaining professional aesthetics.
