TP-Link TL-PI60G Gigabit PoE Injector - Supplies up to 60W

In this review the TP-Link TL-PI60G is evaluated as a focused solution for adding Power over Ethernet where only a non-PoE switch exists. The bottom line: this injector is best for installers and small IT teams who need a compact, reliable way to power devices such as PTZ IP cameras and access points without reworking switches or power runs. The reviewer found the unit easy to deploy, compliant with 802.3bt/at/af standards, and capable of delivering up to 60 W to a single powered device across a single Ethernet cable.

Key Features

• Convert Non-PoE to PoE: Lets you power PoE devices from an existing non-PoE switch so you do not need to replace network gear to add powered endpoints.
• High Speed Gigabit Ports: One Gigabit input and one Gigabit output preserve full wired throughput for video or data without a bottleneck.
• 802.3 bt/at/af Compliance: Supplies power and data over one cable to standards-based PoE devices for broad compatibility with cameras, APs, and other networked gear.
• Plug and Play Installation: No software or complex configuration required, which makes initial deployment quick for field technicians and small offices.
• Long Range Transmission: Delivers power and data up to 100 meters (328 ft) so devices can be placed where power outlets are not available.

Who It's For

This injector suits small businesses, installers, and IT staff who need a simple, standards-compliant way to add PoE power to individual devices like PTZ cameras and wireless access points without upgrading a whole switch. It is particularly useful in retrofit scenarios where the existing network switch is non-PoE and running new power lines would be costly.

It is not targeted at large enterprise deployments that require centralized power management or large port counts; those buyers should consider multiport PoE switches. Also, users who need a discreet, ultra-compact power brick may note the unit is larger than some injectors and includes a desktop/wall-mount form factor.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Reliable 60 W PoE++ output supports demanding devices such as PTZ cameras and high-power access points.
• Full gigabit throughput on both input and output preserves network performance for video and data streams.
• True plug-and-play setup requires no configuration, saving time on field installations.
• Mountable design gives flexibility to install on a wall or sit on a desk during deployment.

Cons

• Physical size and integrated power supply may be bulkier than some compact injectors, which a few users noted.
• No multiport capability; only a single powered output limits use to one device per injector.

Our Verdict

The TL-PI60G is a practical, standards-compliant PoE++ injector that delivers solid value for installers and small IT teams who need to power single, high-demand devices without replacing existing switches. It combines reliable 60 W output, gigabit data paths, and easy plug-and-play setup, making it a strong choice for camera and access point deployments where adding power lines is impractical.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this injector power PTZ cameras?
Yes; it provides up to 60 W and complies with 802.3bt/at/af standards, which covers most PTZ cameras that require higher power.

How far can power and data be delivered?
Power and data can be carried up to 100 meters (328 ft) over a single Ethernet cable per standard Ethernet distance limits.

Do I need special configuration to use it?
No; the unit is plug-and-play and requires no software or switch configuration to start powering a compatible device.
