Same connector form, different documented roles

P018: Data input / no PSE output — Documented non-PoE data group · Power + data output — Standards-based PoE source

Do not transfer a capability from one location to another merely because the connector outline matches.

Read before using the profile

  • Data input and power-plus-data output have different power roles.
  • Do not infer 2.5 Gbps passthrough from endpoints connected to this Gigabit injector.
  • Only one documented injector is modeled; no passive supply, splitter or cascaded power-source path.
