HP Poly PoE++ 65W 2.5G Adapter with 3.66m CAT6A Cable and Power Cord Black

Product Overview

AI-generated summary

For £56.70 ex-VAT, this HP PoE++ adapter with a decent length CAT6A cable is a pretty sensible “get-it-working” buy if you’re standardising on HP gear and want fewer compatibility headaches. The 3.66m cable is long enough for typical rack/desk runs without making you improvise with patch leads, and PoE++ class power over Ethernet is exactly the kind of thing that saves time when you’ve got devices that need more than basic PoE. If you’re a reseller supporting offices with mixed layouts (and you don’t want field calls), buying matched HP power + cabling for known setups is usually good value.

That said, I wouldn’t buy it if you’re trying to minimise cost across a broad mixed environment. In many deployments, generic PoE power injectors/splitters can be cheaper, and if your existing cabling is already in place (or you’ve got longer/shorter structured cabling), you may not need a bundled cable. Also, if you’re not definitely within the supported PoE++/device compatibility matrix for your exact endpoints, you could end up paying extra for capability you can’t actually use—so it’s worth checking what the powered device expects before you commit. Overall: good for HP-centric, known-power deployments; less attractive if you’re chasing lowest unit cost or you’re not fully sure on device compatibility.
