Instant 3AF to USB Adapter

Like other Unifi products, this thing is super well made and feels good in the hand. I have some of those cheapo no-name POE splitters too, but those are very cheaply made and feel like junk. I'm using these for two Logitech Circle 2 cameras as child monitors. I was able to remove the adapter from the outlet and run everything through the wall. I'm going to use another one to power my Logitech Harmony Hub. So yeah, this just works. It powers USB devices using your POE switch.

So UBNT makes no sense sometimes. Everything as far as I can remember for over 15 years of using their devices have always had the option to be powered by POE. Then they come up with cameras that are wireless but powered by USB. So yes I have ethernet everywhere but no power outlet. Why make an outdoor camera that works via wireless but you have to somehow run power to it as well. This is where this comes into play as a fantastic solution to the problem you never knew you had. So far flawless for almost two months. Someone mentioned that if you use this to power a UBNT camera it then will be configured to work over Ethernet and not work with wireless anymore so far I have not seen any ability to do that and it is still using wireless. These things are amazing I can now run power to other items that I easily run cat cable but would have no option to run power.

These little products are excellent, I used these to adapt POE to USB power for Nest Cameras around my home. This allowed me to not run each USB to an outlet, but into the attic to a CAT5e cable. They also allow me to reset a camera at my POE switch, which is convenient.

Just moved into a new construction home and want to install 6+ nest cameras. Don’t love the idea of having to run multiple electric hookups to the outdoor of the home. Instead, will run Ethernet, hookup to a PoE switch in my network closet and then install these in the attic to convert the PoE Ethernet into powered USB to run the cams. Later most devices will most likely settle on PoE so this seems to be the best solution at this time. Works just as expected. Will be buying more of these.

Good

Great for connecting case fans, webcams or other USB powered devices to your POE switch. Plug it in and it just works, no configuration necessary. Other lower priced alternatives are available and likely do the same job for less, but you're paying for the supposed quality the brand name brings. I haven't had a failure with one of these to date.

Another quality product from Unifi. I use these to power ESP32s for home automation projects. Doesn't hog a power outlet and allows me to remotely cycle power if there's a problem.

Nowadays you pulled POE cables everywhere, but what if you just need a USB powered device along your POE, let's say and the top of the ceiling where no electrician help you pulled power. I tried this adapter to convert POE power from switch to USB power, and it work extremely well. My nest camera now can aligned on anywhere without power cable (I have network cable everywhere) .
