Sophos POE Injectors for all XGS Firewalls and Network Switch Models

Description 

Sophos PoE (Power over Ethernet) injectors are versatile accessories designed to provide power and data connectivity to devices like access points, IP cameras, and other PoE-enabled hardware. These injectors ensure seamless integration with Sophos XGS Firewalls and Sophos Network Switches, supporting high-performance networking while reducing the need for separate power sources.

PoE Injector Models

1.      Gigabit/2.5G PoE+ Injector (802.3af/at - 30W)

2.      Gigabit/2.5G PoE++ Injector (802.3bt - 60W)

Power Cord Options

Both PoE injector models come with region-specific power cords to ensure compatibility in different countries:

1.      AU Power Cord: For Australia and New Zealand.

2.      EU Power Cord: For most European countries.

3.      JP Power Cord: For Japan.

4.      UK Power Cord: For the United Kingdom and Ireland.

5.      US Power Cord: For the United States and Canada.

6.      CH Power Cord: For Switzerland and Liechtenstein.

FAQs

1.      What devices are compatible with Sophos PoE Injectors?

·         Sophos PoE injectors are compatible with any PoE-enabled devices that support the relevant standards (802.3af/at for PoE+ and 802.3bt for PoE++). This includes Sophos Access Points, IP cameras, VoIP phones, and other PoE-capable devices.

2.      How do I choose between PoE+ (30W) and PoE++ (60W) injectors?

·         Use the PoE+ injector for devices with moderate power needs (e.g., standard wireless access points or IP cameras).

·         Use the PoE++ injector for high-power devices like PTZ cameras or advanced access points.

3.      Do Sophos PoE injectors work with non-Sophos devices?

·         Yes, these injectors adhere to standard PoE protocols, making them compatible with non-Sophos devices that follow 802.3af, 802.3at, or 802.3bt standards.

4.      Can I use PoE injectors with all Sophos XGS Firewall and Switch models?

·         Yes, the injectors are designed to complement Sophos XGS Firewalls and Switches, especially when directly powering Sophos Access Points connected to these devices.

5.      What cable length is supported by the injectors?

·         The injectors comply with Ethernet standards, supporting cable lengths of up to 100 meters (328 feet) for combined power and data transmission.

6.      Do I need a PoE switch if I have a PoE injector?

·         No, a PoE injector can power individual devices without needing a PoE switch, making it a cost-effective solution for smaller deployments.

7.      What is the warranty on Sophos PoE injectors?

·         The injectors typically come with a 1-year warranty, with options for extended coverage through Sophos support packages.

8.      Can the PoE injector support daisy-chaining devices?

·         No, each PoE injector is designed to power a single device. For multiple devices, consider a PoE switch.

9.      What is the input voltage for these injectors?

·         Both PoE injectors operate on standard AC power (100-240V, 50-60Hz), compatible with global power systems.

10.  What happens if I connect a non-PoE device to the injector?

·         PoE injectors are designed to detect whether a device supports PoE. Non-PoE devices will receive only data without any risk of damage.

11.  Can I use PoE injectors outdoors?

·         These injectors are intended for indoor use. For outdoor applications, use appropriate weatherproof enclosures.

12.  How do I know if my device is underpowered?

·         Devices that require more power than the injector can provide may exhibit reduced functionality or fail to operate entirely. Check device specifications to ensure compatibility.
