What’s Inside
PARTS LIST:
- 1 X 32 VOLT 60 WATT POWER SUPPLY
- 1 X 2.1 TO 2.1 Y CABLE ADAPTER
- 1 X GPOE-1AB MIDSPAN INJECTOR
- 1 X POE-USBC PASSIVE POE SPLITTER
The things you want to make sure you get are:
– Patch cables for the data to the midspan and from the splitter to the device
– USB Type C male to male cables in the configuration you need
– Screws for mounting the devices
– Homerun data cable
If you’re looking for a Power and Data over USB Type C solution, we can also offer a USB Type C hub with a female connector in OEM quantities.
General Installation
In order to overcome the power limitations of PoE+ which limits a Powered Device to 25 watts, we have opted to use a Passive PoE allowing up to 41 watts in a full kit.
You must use the PoE Texas provided midspan and power supply included in this kit to ensure the optimal performance. If you need a multi-port alternative, please contact us at poe.shifu@poetexas.com or 512-479-0317.
The installation is simple and only requires a few minutes to set up with now specialty tools.
- Go to the power and/or data source location whether its a server room, IDF, or a space provided near an AC outlet and/or datasource.
- Mount the GPOE-1AB using the M3 mounting tabs near enough to an outlet to allow the 3′ power supply to connect.
- Plug the 21-Y cable into the power port on the top and the bottom of the GPOE-1AB.
- Plug the 32 volt power supply into the female end of the 21-Y cable. Then plug it into the wall outlet. You will see power is available when the two LED lights turn green.
- Run the home-run cable to the final tablet location.
- Mount the POE-USBC onto a surface near the tablet computer. The POE-USBC can be left as an inline device if you want to.
- Connect the home-run cable. The power is functional as soon as the yellow and green LED lights turn on.
- Connect the USB Type C cable from the female port of the POE-USBC to the tablet computer.
- (Optional) You can use the RJ-45 port on the POE-USBC to connect the data. If you’d like combined power and data, we can supply an OEM hub. Otherwise, we’ll come out with the GAT-USBC-PD soon.
CONFIGURATION
The PoE-USBC will automatically configure the Power Delivery (PD) settings with your tablet device, so there is no configuration necessary.
TROUBLESHOOTING:
The POE-USBC-Kit is designed to function right out of the box with all the parts necessary to do so. However, if you are having an issue, here are a couple things to check:
1 – Are the two green LED lights on the GPOE-1AB on? If not you don’t have power to the midspan.
2 – Are the yellow and green LED lights on the POE-USBC? If both lights are “off” you don’t have any power coming to the POE-USBC.
– If only one yellow light is on, then you have power to the POE-USBC, however, there’s a short on power output side. You can try replacing the USBC cable. If that doesn’t work, contact us for a replacement.
3 – If the power cycles on and off a couple times the settles down, that is fine. It’s just the Power Delivery sorting itself out.
If you’re still having issues, don’t hesitate to contact us at poe.shifu@poetexas.com or (512) 479-0317.
