Instant 48V PoE Compatibility for Ubiquiti Devices

The INS-3AF-O-G bridges the gap between non-PoE Ubiquiti devices and standard 48V PoE switches. By converting standard Ethernet connections into PoE-enabled ones, you can integrate older Ubiquiti hardware into modern PoE networks without replacing equipment. This makes it ideal for expanding existing installations or retrofitting devices in hard-to-reach locations where running separate power cables would be impractical.

Gigabit Ethernet Performance Without Compromise

With full Gigabit Ethernet support (10/100/1000 Mbit/s), this adapter maintains maximum network throughput while delivering power. The 0.5A output current provides sufficient power for most Ubiquiti access points, cameras, and other network devices. Whether you’re streaming high-definition video from security cameras or supporting multiple wireless clients, the INS-3AF-O-G ensures your network performance remains uncompromised.

Industrial-Grade Surge Protection for UK Networks

Built with 15 kV surge protection, this adapter safeguards your valuable network equipment against voltage spikes common in UK installations. The robust protection is particularly valuable in industrial environments, outdoor deployments, or areas with unstable power supply. Combined with its wide operating temperature range (-30°C to 70°C), it delivers reliable performance in demanding conditions where standard adapters might fail.

Compact Design for Discreet Installation

Measuring just 30.2mm x 366.6mm x 30.2mm and weighing only 90g, the white-finished INS-3AF-O-G installs unobtrusively in any setup. Its compact form factor makes it perfect for wall-mounting behind devices or tucking away in network cabinets. The clean, professional appearance suits both commercial installations and home office environments where aesthetics matter.
