D-Link DWL-P50 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter


Price : Too low to display

This Adapter works with a switch to provide both data and power to Ethernet enabled devices using a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need to place those devices near outlets. D-Link, an industry leader in networking, introduces the DWL-P50 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter. By using the DWL-P50, both data and electrical power can be delivered to a non-PoE Ethernet-enabled device from a single CAT5 Ethernet cable.

Likes to blow smoke and splatter electrolyte but still works! =) . I've had 5 of these make a popping noise, put out a bit of smoke, and eject some electrolyte (presumably all from a popping capacitor). However, after these episodes, they've all worked just fine. I'm using the 12 V setting, no idea how it'll work for 5 V.

They were popping when connected to a Netgear fs108p switch. After manually adding ground to the switch, no more of these babies have popped. Kinda miss it, to be honest... but it's nice not to have to worry about the sprinklers going off.
D-Link DWL-P50 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter Reviews
Does exactly what it's supposed to do. . Spares having to supply separate power to remotely placed Ethernet devices, and reduces network clutter and the number of those annoying "wall wart" transformers that are the plague of electronics these days. Great for placing Web cams in out-of-the-way places where you are not likely to have 120VAC outlets.
D-Link DWL-P50 Power over Ethernet (PoE) Adapter Opinions
For D-Link Equip Only? . I'm with the other reviewer, this is not a standard POE injector, it is designed to work with D-Link equipment it seems, the description needs to be better. I gave it 3 stars because I don't know how well it would work if I could use it. It does *not* come with a AC adapter, it assumes there is power on the ethernet and breaks it back down into just enet and just power -- it's the OPPOSITE of a power injector. Anyway, maybe I'm wrong, I messed with it for 5 minutes and then a glance at the manual made it seem like a lost cause so back to the jungle it goes!

Aesthetically Non-Appropriate . I tried to use this for my security cameras. I was thinking that it would inject the power over the Ethernet cable so that I could have one Ethernet cable go to the security camera.

It turns out that you have to plug this adapter into the Camera power jack in addition to the Ethernet cable. . . rather than input the power at the switch, and run a single cable to the camera. The power cable provided from the adapter to your camera isn't that long either, so I didn't even bother to plug and test the adapter.

They should've added this fact to the description of the product.

Cons Review
Misleading Description . The description for this items suggests that it works independently to provide POE, but that isn't the case. It requires a compatible D-Link switch. I can't vouch for the functionality of this item because it wouldn't work with my existing network equipment, so I had to send it back for a refund.
