A rapidly expanding small business needed to add several new Ubiquiti UA Hubs to their office network to enhance access control and security. Their existing network switches lacked sufficient PoE++ ports to power all the new devices, and upgrading to a completely new switch was a significant and potentially unnecessary expense.

ALFA TECH’s Solution

ALFA TECH proposed using Ubiquiti U-PoE++ injectors as a cost-effective and scalable solution:

✔ PoE++ Support: Provides the necessary power (up to 60W) for the Ubiquiti UA Hubs.

✔ Cost-Effective: More economical than replacing the entire network switch infrastructure.

✔ Flexibility: Allows for adding PoE++ capability exactly where it's needed, without overhauling the entire network.

✔ Easy Deployment: Simple plug-and-play installation with minimal configuration.

✔ Reliable Power: Ensures stable operation of the access control hubs.

By deploying U-PoE++ injectors, the business could efficiently power their new access control system without a major network upgrade.

Customer Satisfaction

The small business benefited significantly from this approach:

✅ Cost Savings: Avoided the large investment of a new PoE++ enabled switch.

✅ Scalability: Easily added PoE++ ports as needed for future device deployments.

✅ Simplified Network Expansion: Quick and straightforward integration of new devices.

✅ Reliable Access Control: Consistent power supply ensured the smooth operation of the UA Hubs.

✅ Minimized Downtime: No need for complex network reconfiguration or lengthy hardware replacement.

U-PoE++ offered a smart and budget-friendly way to extend PoE++ capabilities to their existing network.

Installation & Configuration Details

Installation Steps:

? Connect the U-PoE++ adapter to a nearby power outlet.

? Connect an Ethernet cable from an available port on the existing network switch to the "LAN" port of the U-PoE++.

? Connect an Ethernet cable from the "PoE++" port of the U-PoE++ to the PoE input of the Ubiquiti UA Hub.

?️ Ensure all connections are secure.

Configuration Overview:

? Automatic Power Negotiation: The U-PoE++ automatically negotiates and delivers the required power to the UA Hub.

? Status LED: Indicates power and data link status.

? Standard Compliance: Adheres to IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standards for compatibility.

?️ No Software Configuration: Operates as a transparent power injector.
