For £15.52 ex-VAT, this Omada PoE+ injector is the kind of “small fix” that actually prevents bigger faff. If you’ve got an Omada-powered device that needs PoE+ but you’re not using an Omada PoE switch (or your switch only delivers PoE, not PoE+), the injector is an easy, low-risk way to get the link up without changing your whole network. It’s also handy for temporary installs and troubleshooting—swap it in, prove the device works, then decide whether you want to standardise PoE switching later.
That said, I’d avoid buying these “just because” if you already have (or plan to have) proper PoE+ on your switch—injectors add boxes, more cable management, and more things to document. Also, if you’re expecting to power multiple devices, it’s usually better value to use a PoE+ switch and keep things clean. But for single-device deployments, odd corners of a site, or when you need PoE+ compatibility with minimal disruption, this is absolutely the right kind of purchase.
