Wi-Tek WI-POE61-24

The Wi-Tek WI-POE61-24V is an intelligent Gigabit PoE converter designed to bridge the gap between standard 48V PoE systems and 24V passive PoE devices. It is widely used in wireless networking and CCTV to power devices like Ubiquiti or Mikrotik access points and wireless bridges directly from a standard PoE switch.

Core Functionality

The device takes a standard 802.3af/at (48V–52V) power input and converts it into a 24V Passive PoE output. This allows you to integrate 24V equipment into a modern 48V network infrastructure without needing separate proprietary power injectors or extra AC outlets.

Common Use Case

If you have a standard PoE+ switch (like a Cisco, TP-Link, or UniFi 48V model) and you need to power a 24V Wireless Bridge (like a Ubiquiti NanoStation or Wi-Tek CPE) located 50 meters away, you place this converter at the end of the cable run to safely step down the voltage.
