Ubiquiti UniFi PoE Adapter 15W (U-PoE) — 48V Single-Port PoE Injector for Chicago

Ubiquiti UniFi PoE Adapter 15W (U-PoE)

The Ubiquiti UniFi PoE Adapter (model U-PoE) is a 15 W passive single-port PoE injector — the entry-level Ubiquiti PoE injector for low-power UniFi access points and IP cameras. 48 V DC @ 0.32 A output, 15 W total, gigabit LAN port, NDAA-compliant. The Chicago choice when a PoE switch port is unavailable, insufficient, or simply not needed for a single low-power UniFi device.

When U-PoE 15W Fits — Low-Power UniFi Devices

Pick the U-PoE 15W when:

• The device is a low-power UniFi access point (e.g., older U6-series APs, small wall-plate APs)
• The protected load is under 15 W
• A single-port injector is sufficient (no need for a multi-port PoE switch)
• The site doesn’t have a PoE-capable network switch or has a fully-utilized PoE budget on the existing switch

For higher-power UniFi devices (modern U6-Pro, U7 APs, PTZ cameras, larger speakers), step up to one of the higher-wattage Ubiquiti PoE adapters:

• Ubiquiti UniFi PoE+ 30W (U-PoE+) — 802.3at-class power
• Ubiquiti UniFi PoE++ 60W (U-PoE++) — 802.3bt Type 3
• Ubiquiti 10G PoE+++ 90W (UACC-PoE+++-10G) — 802.3bt Type 4 with multi-gig data

Ubiquiti PoE Adapter Family Comparison

Model	Wattage	Voltage / Current	Best Fit
U-PoE (this page)	15 W	48 V @ 0.32 A	Low-power UniFi APs, small IP cameras
U-PoE+	30 W	48 V @ 0.65 A	Standard UniFi APs, mid-range cameras
U-PoE++	60 W	48 V @ 1.25 A	Higher-power APs, PTZ cameras
UACC-PoE+++-10G	90 W	54 V @ 1.67 A	Top-tier UniFi devices needing multi-gig data + max power
