PoE+ Power and Data Adapter for USB-C Tablets - 22W PoE to USB-C

In this review the PoE Texas PoE+ Power and Data Adapter is presented as a practical solution for fixed USB-C tablets and devices that need both power and network connectivity without a nearby outlet. The bottom line: it delivers up to 22 watts of continuous USB-C power and wired data over a single Ethernet cable, making it ideal for digital signage, point of sale tablets, and conference room schedulers where clean, secure cabling and long reach are priorities.

Key Features

• 22W USB-C Power: Provides continuous 22 watts of power to keep compatible tablets running 24/7 without relying on nearby AC outlets, reducing the need for external chargers.
• 10/100 Fast Ethernet Data: Passes wired 10/100 Mbps network traffic for greater reliability and security than Wi-Fi for POS and signage applications.
• Extended Reach: Extends power and data up to 328 ft from the PoE source, enabling flexible device placement across large rooms or retail floors.
• Two Outputs: Built-in dual outputs give flexibility in installation and device arrangement for multi-device mounting or future upgrades.
• In-wall Mountable: Fits standard US and European junction boxes for clean installations inside mounted tablet enclosures and wall mounts.
• Plug-and-play Compatibility: Ships with a USB-C to USB-C cable and supports a wide range of tablets and mounts for straightforward setup.

Who It's For

This adapter is best for integrators, retail managers, and AV teams who deploy fixed USB-C tablets for digital signage, check-in kiosks, POS terminals, or room scheduling panels and want a tidy, secure wired connection. It suits environments where device placement is distant from power sources and where wired network security is preferred over Wi-Fi.

Those who should look elsewhere include users needing very high USB data transfer speeds beyond USB 2.0 rates or devices with nonstandard power delivery profiles. The adapter is also not compatible with devices that require unique proprietary power signatures.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Delivers continuous 22W USB-C power so tablets can remain powered without visible AC adapters.
• Provides wired 10/100 Mbps Ethernet for reliable, secure connectivity in managed networks.
• Supports runs up to 328 ft so devices can be placed far from the PoE source.
• In-wall form factor fits standard junction boxes for neat installations in tablet enclosures.

Cons

• USB data uses the USB 2.0 standard (about 95 Mb/s), so it is not suitable for high-speed USB transfer needs.
• Not compatible with devices that require proprietary or unusual power delivery profiles.

Our Verdict

The PoE+ Power and Data Adapter is a pragmatic choice for installations that require tidy, secure power and network delivery to USB-C tablets. It offers good value for integrators and retailers who need reliable 22W PoE power and wired Ethernet over long runs; however, teams needing very high USB data throughput or support for nonstandard power profiles should consider other options.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this adapter power any USB-C tablet?
It powers most USB-C tablets that accept up to 22W via standard USB-C power delivery, but it is not compatible with devices that require proprietary power profiles.

Does it carry network data as well as power?
Yes, it provides wired 10/100 Mbps Ethernet through the same PoE cable for secure network connectivity.

Can it be installed inside a wall mount?
Yes, the in-wall design fits standard US and European junction boxes for clean installations with mounted tablet enclosures.
