Gigabit PoE to USB C Converter for Smart Phone/Tablet - Wired Internet

In this review the Gigabit PoE to USB C Converter is evaluated as a compact solution for anyone who needs wired Ethernet and device power from a single RJ45 PoE source. It is primarily for mobile professionals and streamers who want reliable 1000Mbps network access and up to 23W of USB-C power without carrying a separate charger. The adapter follows the IEEE802.3at standard, is truly plug and play, and the main reason to consider it is the convenience of combining power and data over one cable to a phone or tablet.

Key Features

• PoE to USB-C conversion: Converts IEEE802.3at PoE on an RJ45 line into USB-C power and Ethernet data so a single cable gives both connectivity and charging when the network supports PoE.
• Multi-voltage output: Supplies multiple USB-C voltages (5V/2.6A, 9V/1.75A, 12V/1.45A, 15V/1.37A, 20V/1.15A) so a variety of phones and tablets receive the appropriate charging level.
• Gigabit Ethernet: Supports 10/100/1000Mbps throughput for stable wired internet access that eliminates common WiFi buffering and disconnects.
• Plug and play: No driver or configuration required - connect the RJ45 and the USB-C device and the adapter works immediately with supported systems.
• Cross-platform support: Works with Windows, Android and iOS devices that accept USB-C Ethernet, making it suitable for a wide set of tablets and smartphones.
• Portable design: Small, lightweight housing is easy to carry in a bag for business trips or field streaming setups.

Who It's For

The adapter is best for journalists, live broadcasters, and remote workers who frequently rely on wired networks and need to power a phone or tablet at the same time. It is also useful for AV setups where stable latency and throughput matter more than wireless convenience.

It is not intended for users with non-PoE ethernet connections who expect device charging; in those situations the adapter will provide internet access but not charging. People who need high-wattage laptop charging should look for a dedicated higher-power USB-C power delivery solution.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Combines power and data from a single PoE RJ45 source, reducing cable clutter and the need for separate chargers.
• Supports full Gigabit speeds for reliable, low-latency wired internet on mobile devices.
• Multiple voltage outputs improve compatibility across many phones and tablets.
• Truly plug and play with cross-platform support for quick setup in the field.

Cons

• Only supplies charging when connected to an IEEE802.3at PoE source; standard non-PoE ethernet gives data but no charging.
• Power is limited to about 23W total, which is insufficient for larger laptops or devices that require higher USB-C power delivery.

Our Verdict

The Gigabit PoE to USB C Converter is a practical, cost-effective accessory for anyone who needs stable wired internet and modest charging from a single PoE cable. It is especially good value for mobile creators and field technicians who already have PoE infrastructure; just remember it will not charge from non-PoE ethernet and it does not replace a high-wattage laptop charger.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will this adapter charge my phone from any ethernet port?
The adapter only supplies charging when the connected RJ45 port provides IEEE802.3at PoE; non-PoE ethernet will provide internet but not power.

Does it support full gigabit network speeds?
Yes, it supports 10/100/1000Mbps so you can expect wired Gigabit throughput when the network supports it.

Which devices will it work with?
It works with phones and tablets that accept USB-C ethernet and power, and with Windows devices that support USB-C network adapters.
