Tailwind PoE Board for iQ3 2.0 and 2.1 — Wired Network Connection
Description
The PoE board gives an iQ3 2.0 or 2.1 controller a wired network connection in place of Wi-Fi. It fits inside either second-generation controller, and on a Power over Ethernet port it powers the controller from the same cable, so there is no separate power supply to run.
It suits a garage where the Wi-Fi signal is weak and a network cable can be run in. On a regular Ethernet port it still works, as long as the controller has its own power.
Shipping and Delivery
Delivery: Free standard shipping on orders of $100 or more within the 48 contiguous states, and $12 on smaller orders. We do not ship to Alaska or Hawaii.
Key Features
Wired connection: 100 Mbps over Ethernet.
Power over Ethernet: IEEE 802.3af compliant, so a PoE switch or injector can power the controller.
Regular Ethernet: Works on a non-PoE port if the controller is powered separately.
Isolation: 1,500 V DC between input and output.
Product Specifications
Standard: IEEE 802.3af.
Input voltage: 36 to 57 V DC.
Isolation: 1,500 V DC, input to output.
Network speed: 100 Mbps.
