Extending PoE using a GS105PE switch
I have an IP birdbox camera on one end of a 40m cat5E cable with a PoE injector at the other end. I would like to add another IP camera near the first one. The PoE injector has a label saying 48 vol...
Hi DaneA,
I just received this morning a GS105PE switch and a 30W 802.3at/af PoE Injector, and I am convinced that this will be a good solution.
Thanks for your help.

Hi AMal,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. The GS105PE is a PoE passthrough switch which can only be powered by PoE. Since your PoE injector will be the PSE (Power Source Equipment) for the GS105PE, can it give power within the 802.3at standard? It would be best if you could post the specifications of your PoE injector.
b. What is the PoE class of your two IP birdbox cameras? It would be best if you could post the power specifications of the two IP birdbox cameras.
To know more about the GS105PE switch, kindly read the articles below:

AMal,
Based on the power consumption of the IP birdbox camera you have, it is a PoE class 2 device. Since you will be connecting two IP birdbox cameras (which are PoE class 2 devices) directly to the GS105PE switch, it should be powered on by an 802.3at compliant PoE injector in order to give power simultaneously through its ports 1 and 2.
You may want to also check on the GS110TP switch. This switch has 8 PoE ports that complies with the IEEE802.3af standard. I'm sure the two IP birdbox cameras can be powered up simultaneously through this switch. This switch can only be powered on using a power adapter that comes with the package. For more information about the GS110TP switch, kindly check its data sheet here.

Thanks again DaneA.
Unfortunately I cannot take advantage of the GS110TP switch as it would involve extra cabling to supply mains to the switch (or two ethernet cables).
Both options are impractical in my situation.
However I have identified a 802.3at injector that might enable me tp use the GS105PE to support two cameras.
Its spec is shown here. https://www.wifi-antennas.co.uk/gigabit-802-3at-af-poe-injector-30w-4866.html?gclid=CKer0JSU5dICFW4B0wodwjwJwQ
I believe Netgear neith supply or recommend PoE injectors.
Thanks, Alan
