The AMX PS-POE-AF-TC is a Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector designed to deliver both data connectivity and electrical power to compatible PoE-enabled devices over a single Ethernet cable. This unit complies with the IEEE 802.3af standard, providing up to 15.4 watts of power, which is suitable for powering a wide range of network devices such as VoIP phones, wireless access points, IP cameras, and certain AMX control system peripherals. The injector simplifies installations by eliminating the need for a separate power outlet and adapter at the device location, reducing cable clutter and enabling more flexible placement of equipment in ceilings, on walls, or in furniture where AC power may not be readily available.

Operation is straightforward: the injector has two Ethernet ports—one for connecting to a standard data network switch (Data In) and one for connecting to the PoE-powered device (Data & Power Out). It also features an AC power input. The unit takes the data signal from the switch, adds the required DC power to it, and outputs a combined signal on the single output cable. The injector includes protection against over-current and short-circuit conditions to safeguard both the network infrastructure and the connected device. Its compact, desktop-style enclosure is designed for easy placement on a shelf or within an equipment rack, and it may feature status LEDs for power and link/activity indication.

Designed for reliability in commercial and residential AV/IT installations, the PS-POE-AF-TC operates silently and is built for continuous use. Its specific part number (FG423-83) indicates it is a genuine AMX accessory, ensuring compatibility and support within AMX systems. By providing a dedicated, standards-compliant PoE source, this injector ensures stable power delivery, which is critical for the reliable operation of network-dependent devices within an AMX-controlled environment or any standard IP network.
