Gigabit + PoE Adapter
The Redpark Gigabit + PoE Adapter connects Lightning iPads and iPhones to ethernet and uses power over ethernet (PoE) to charge the iPad. This enables an iPad to receive both data and power over a single Ethernet cable when connected to a PoE-enabled switch or a PoE injector.
This iPad ethernet adapter is instantly recognized as a network connection. The ethernet connection can be configured using the Settings app on the iPad when running iOS 10 (or later).
The adapter physically connects to the iPad or iPhone using a Redpark Lightning to USB Micro B cable (sold separately). It supports 10/100/1000 networking and provides bandwidth up to 225 Mbps.

Support
If the power LED is ON the 3 most likely causes of the problem are:
- The Redpark Lightning cable that you are using is bad.
- You chose to use a cable that is not a Redpark Lightning cable — and your cable does not work with the L6-NETPOE.
- The PoE switch is not providing a full 15.4W to the L6-NETPOE. (The switch may be loaded with too many PoE devices and is unable to provide full power to the L6-NETPOE.)
If the power LED is OFF the 5 most likely causes of the problem are:
- Your ethernet switch does not provide PoE. (If you are not sure, email the brand and model of the switch to us.)
- You are plugged into a port on the switch that is not a PoE port. (Most PoE-enabled switches have PoE ports and non-PoE ports.)
- There is a problem on your network between the L6-NETPOE and the switch. (Try plugging the L6-NETPOE directly into the switch using a short ethernet cable.)
- The PoE port on the switch may be configured to power a lower power device (i.e. a VoIP phone) and provides no power to the L6-NETPOE (because the L6-NETPOE requires more power).
- The switch provides a non-standard version of PoE. Ubiquiti, for example, sells switches that provide 24V PoE. These switches work with certain Ubiquiti devices but are not able to power the L6-NETPOE.
- Cisco sells several series of switches that use UPOE — a Cisco extension of the PoE standard. Some early customers reported problems using the L6-NETPOE with a Cisco UPOE switch. In studying this issue with Cisco’s help we learned that UPOE switches use a proprietary method to detect powered devices. We revised the L6-NETPOE to ensure reliable detection by UPOE switches. The revised units have the code “0418” appearing on the label on the underside of the L6-NETPOE. These units have been in production since May 2018.
