Peplink PoE Activation Kit 48V 802.3af

Activates Router PoE Output

Some compatible Peplink routers include Ethernet ports that support PoE output but require an optional activation kit and higher-voltage power supply. The ACW-609 provides the required 48V power source and enables the router’s 802.3af PoE functionality.

Power and Data Through Ethernet

Once activated, supported router ports can carry network data and electrical power over the same Ethernet cable. This can simplify installations by removing the need for a separate outlet or power adapter beside each connected device.

Typical connected equipment may include:

• Wireless access points
• VoIP phones
• IP cameras
• PoE splitters
• Other compatible 802.3af devices

Up to Four PoE Ports

The kit enables up to four 802.3af PoE output ports on supported router configurations. The actual number of available ports and total power capacity depend on the router model, hardware version, and connected devices.

Router Compatibility

The ACW-609 has been listed for compatible versions of several Peplink and Pepwave products, including:

• Peplink MAX HD2
• Peplink MAX HD4
• Peplink MAX HD2 Mini
• Peplink MAX BR1 ENT
• Peplink HD2 and HD4 MediaFast
• Peplink MediaFast 200
• Selected Peplink Balance models

Compatibility varies by product generation and configuration, so the router’s part number and PoE specifications should be confirmed before ordering.

Installation Considerations

The activation kit powers the router so that it can supply PoE through its supported LAN ports. Each connected device must support IEEE 802.3af and remain within the router’s available PoE power budget. Equipment requiring 802.3at PoE+ or higher power may require a different activation kit or power supply.
