The useful distinction
Understand the requirement.
Follow the documented data input and powered output instead of treating an injector as an interchangeable coupler. [C146A]
An inserted injector has its own Ethernet interface evidence. The captured TL-POE160S rates are 10/100/1000 Mbps. Two 2.5 Gbps endpoints do not establish 2.5 Gbps across that documented path. The worksheet compares the upstream and downstream segments and the shared end-to-end captured rates separately. [C146B]

A boundary, not an omission to guess around.
An inserted injector has its own Ethernet interface evidence. The captured TL-POE160S rates are 10/100/1000 Mbps. Two 2.5 Gbps endpoints do not establish 2.5 Gbps across that documented path. The worksheet compares the upstream and downstream segments and the shared end-to-end captured rates separately.
The power source for the modeled downstream device is the injector output, not the upstream data endpoint. A selected upstream PSE or PD port is outside this simple documented topology; the tool does not silently chain power equipment.
Respect the boundary
No mains work, passive power, splitter design, pin assignment, surge protection, outdoor installation or hardware safety approval is provided. The source report is a documentation checklist, not instructions to energize an unknown device.
AI-assisted inspection is not independent engineering review. Source scope and access limitations are disclosed below. Procedural checklists are editorial requirements, not hardware measurements.

The TL-POE160S version-path 2.6 documentation distinguishes a data input from a power-plus-data output. The worksheet inserts only this exact documented topology. It does not infer that an arbitrary adapter, splitter or power supply works the same way.
Locator: Interface / PoE power / Product diagram labels in accessible text Access: public page. Only the documented data-in / power-data-out topology is modeled. No passive injector, splitter, multi-gig passthrough or mains-work advice.

Scoped support: The US version-path 2.6 page documents one 10/100/1000 Mbps data input and one 10/100/1000 Mbps power-plus-data output, af/at operation and up to 30 W.
