Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G Instant Gigabit PoE Converter 48V-24V
The Ubiquiti INS-3AF-I-G Instant Gigabit PoE Converter transforms passive 48V PoE devices into 802.3af-compliant 24V equipment, enabling longer cable runs and compatibility with standard PoE switches. It suits network operators upgrading legacy Ubiquiti installations to standards-based power delivery without replacing endpoints.
Why this product
802.3af compliance from passive PoE
Converts 48V Ubiquiti passive PoE to standard 24V 802.3af output, making devices compatible with industry-standard PoE switches and remote power management.
Longer cable runs
Higher-voltage input power carries more efficiently over distance, reducing voltage drop and enabling extended deployments beyond typical PoE limits.
ESD and surge isolation
Built-in ±15kV Ethernet isolation protects connected devices from electrostatic discharge and transient surge damage.
Works with airMAX and UniFi
Compatible with most Ubiquiti PoE devices on 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet ports, including wireless and switching infrastructure.
- Input Power48V DC passive PoE, 0.5A
- Output Power24V DC, 0.5A (12W max)
- Ethernet Ports2 × Gigabit RJ45 (PoE in / PoE out)
- ESD/Surge Protection±15kV isolation
- Operating Temperature0–70°C
- DimensionsØ 30.3 × 95.5 mm
- SKUUBI-1360
- EAN810354024634
- Ubiquiti airMAX and UniFi PoE devices with 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet ports
- 802.3af-compliant PoE switches for remote power control and management
- Outdoor use requires additional weatherproofing; this unit is rated for indoor deployment only
- Non-Ubiquiti devices or Ubiquiti products without passive PoE support
Best for
- Network operators standardizing on 802.3af
- Extended cable runs beyond standard PoE distance limits
- Existing Ubiquiti airMAX or UniFi installations needing PoE switch integration
- Deployments requiring surge and ESD protection
Trade-offs
- Outdoor installations. This unit is rated for indoor use only and lacks weatherproofing.
- Non-Ubiquiti PoE devices. Compatibility is limited to Ubiquiti airMAX and UniFi product lines.
- High-power endpoints. Maximum output is 12W at 24V DC; devices requiring more than 0.5A will not function.
Transforms almost any Ubiquiti PoE device into a fully compliant 24V, PoE-compatible product.
Instant 802.3af Converters transform passive PoE devices into 802.3af-compliant products.
Ubiquiti Compatibility
The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter is compatible with most Ubiquiti PoE devices* using 100 Mbps or Gigabit Ethernet ports. Compatible products include airMAX® and UniFi® devices.
Longer Cable Runs
High voltage carries power more efficiently. The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter enables longer cable runs due to a more efficient power delivery.
ESD/Surge Protection
Instant 802.3af Converters provide an additional ±15kV of Ethernet isolation to lessen the risk of ESD or surge damage to connected devices.
PoE Switch Compatibility
The Instant 802.3af Gigabit PoE Converter integrates seamlessly with a variety of auto-sensing 802.3af PoE switches for remote power control applications. As you manage and monitor your network, you can conveniently power or power cycle your remote devices using your 802.3af switch.
