Product Information
Full details
The Veracity VOR-OS-30-UK PoE adapter is designed for IT professionals and network installers needing to power IP cameras, wireless access points, and other network devices over existing Cat 5 cabling. Its key benefit is providing reliable, industry-standard IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet, simplifying installations by eliminating the need for local power outlets at device locations. A potential caveat is that it's designed for specific PoE standards, so compatibility with non-standard devices should be verified.

FAQs
What is Power over Ethernet (PoE)?
Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a technology that allows network cables to carry electrical power along with data, enabling a single cable to supply both connectivity and electricity to devices like IP cameras and wireless access points.
Is the Veracity VOR-OS-30-UK compatible with PoE+ (802.3at) devices?
No, this adapter is specifically designed for the IEEE 802.3af standard. It will not provide sufficient power for devices that require PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at).
What is the maximum distance for PoE transmission with this adapter?
Standard Ethernet cabling limitations apply, typically up to 100 meters (328 feet) from the injector to the powered device for reliable operation.
Can I use this adapter with any network cable?
It is recommended to use Cat 5e or higher-grade Ethernet cables (Cat 6, Cat 6a) for optimal performance, especially with Gigabit Ethernet speeds.
What safety features are included?
The adapter includes built-in protection against overload and short circuits to safeguard both the injector and the connected network devices.
Does this adapter require a separate power source?
Yes, the PoE injector itself needs to be plugged into a standard AC power outlet using the provided power cord.
What certifications does this product have?
The Veracity VOR-OS-30-UK holds CE, FCC, RoHS, EN 55032 Class B, EN55024, VCCI, and UL/EN/IEC 60950-1 (Ed2) certifications.
Troubleshooting
PoE device not receiving power
Verify that the device connected is IEEE 802.3af compliant. Ensure all Ethernet cables are securely connected at both ends. Check that the injector is receiving AC power and that the connected device is within the cable length limitations (typically 100 meters).
Network connectivity issues after connecting the injector
Confirm that the Ethernet cable from the input port is correctly connected to the network. Test the network cable and the connected device directly without the injector to rule out cable or device faults. Ensure the injector's Ethernet data rates (10/100/1000 Mbit/s) are compatible with your network.
Injector is not powering on (no lights)
Check the AC power connection and try a different power outlet. Ensure the power cord is fully inserted into the injector. Verify the input voltage range (100-240V AC) matches your local power supply.
Device powers on but disconnects intermittently
This could indicate insufficient power delivery or a faulty cable. Ensure the connected device's power requirement does not exceed the injector's 30W output. Check for loose connections or damaged Ethernet cables. Test with a different Cat 5e or better cable.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Simplifies network device installation by providing power and data over a single Ethernet cable.
- Supports Gigabit Ethernet speeds for high-performance networking.
- Includes essential safety features like overload and short circuit protection.
- Wide operating temperature range (-20 to 40 °C) for various environments.
- Certified for multiple safety and emissions standards (CE, FCC, RoHS, UL).
Cons
- Only supports IEEE 802.3af standard; not compatible with PoE+ (802.3at) or non-standard PoE devices.
- Requires a separate network cable run from the injector to the device.
- The form factor might be less compact than some alternative injectors.
- Limited to a single port per injector unit.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Connect a standard Ethernet cable from your network switch or router to the `RJ-45 input port` on the Veracity VOR-OS-30-UK.
- Connect an Ethernet cable from the `RJ-45 output port` on the injector to your PoE-powered device (e.g., IP camera, AP).
- Plug the included power cord into the injector and then into a standard AC power outlet.
- The injector will automatically begin powering the connected device.
Compatibility:
- Network Cabling: Compatible with Cat 5, Cat 5e, Cat 6, and higher-grade network cables.
- PoE Standard: Strictly adheres to IEEE 802.3af. It is *not* compatible with PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) or passive/non-standard PoE devices.
- Devices: Suitable for IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other network devices that support IEEE 802.3af.
Care:
- Keep the adapter in a well-ventilated area. Avoid covering vents.
- Clean the exterior with a dry or slightly damp cloth only. Do not use liquid cleaners or solvents.
- Ensure the operating temperature ( -20 to 40 °C) and humidity (10-90% non-condensing) specifications are met.
- Regularly inspect the power cord and Ethernet cables for damage.
