Product Description
The AT13F-A takes one incoming PoE (Power over Ethernet) connection and splits it into three powered ports, so you can add extra IP cameras or access points without running new mains power to each one.
What it does
It's a small 4-port switch: one port is the uplink that plugs into your existing PoE source, the other three are PoE outputs feeding cameras or similar 802.3af devices. Both power and data travel over the same Ethernet cable to each device, which is the whole point of PoE — fewer cables, no separate power adapters at the camera end.
Where it fits
- Useful when you're adding cameras beyond the port count of your existing PoE switch or NVR.
- Useful when the install point has no nearby mains socket, only an Ethernet run.
- Supports the IEEE 802.3af standard (the common PoE spec most basic IP cameras use), taking 44–57 V DC in.
What to check before buying
- Total output is capped at 25 W across all three ports — add up your cameras' power draw and make sure it fits within that.
- Ports run at 10/100 Mbps (Fast Ethernet), which comfortably handles standard IP camera video streams but isn't gigabit speed.
- Confirm your upstream source is genuinely 802.3af PoE before relying on this to power downstream devices.
Compact enough to sit in a cabinet, junction box, or wall-mounted near the cameras it feeds, with ventilation to help it run continuously without overheating.

Frequently Asked Questions
How many devices can I power from the AT13F-A?
Up to three, via its three PoE output ports, as long as their combined power draw stays within the 25W total the unit can supply.
Does it work with any PoE camera?
It supports the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, so it's designed for devices using that standard — check your camera's PoE spec matches before relying on it.
Will it slow down my camera footage?
The ports run at 10/100 Mbps Fast Ethernet, which is generally sufficient for standard IP camera video streams, though it isn't gigabit speed.
