Detailed Specifications
Ubiquiti INS-3AF-USB Instant 802.3af PoE to USB Converter, 5V 2A
Overview
The Ubiquiti INS-3AF-USB is an Instant PoE to USB converter designed to provide power to USB-powered devices from an IEEE 802.3af PoE network connection. It accepts 48V PoE through an RJ45 port and provides 5V DC at up to 2A through a USB Type-A port.
Power Conversion and Connectivity
The converter uses PoE input over Ethernet pairs 1 and 2 as positive and pairs 3 and 6 as return. The RJ45 port provides the PoE input connection, while the USB Type-A port supplies regulated 5V DC power to compatible USB-powered equipment.
PoE Compatibility
The INS-3AF-USB is designed for use with auto-sensing 802.3af PoE switches. The specified PoE input is 48V DC at 0.26A, with a maximum USB output of 5V DC at 2A.
Key Features
- IEEE 802.3af PoE input
- 5V DC USB output at up to 2A
- RJ45 PoE input and USB Type-A output
- Compact 60 g form factor
- ESD/EMP protection with ±8kV air and ±4kV contact ratings
Applications
The converter can supply power to compatible USB-powered equipment from an available 802.3af PoE network connection. Ubiquiti identifies applications including powering or recharging devices such as smartphones, tablets, and other USB-powered equipment.
DC Supplies Product Note
The INS-3AF-USB converts 802.3af PoE input to 5V USB power rather than providing Ethernet connectivity to the USB device. Verify that the connected USB equipment accepts 5V power and does not require more than the specified 2A output.
