Power + Data for iPads/iOS devices
The Redpark Gigabit + PoE Adapter connects iOS devices - like iPads and iPhones - to both ethernet and provides 10.5W of charging power at the same time (data + power), via a single CAT5/5e/6 Ethernet cable connected to a PoE-enabled switch.
MFi-certified for iOS Compatibility
The Redpark iPad ethernet adapter & cable combo is MFi-certified and recognized as a wired, hard-line network connection, and can be configured using the Settings app on the iPad when running iOS 10 (or later).
Required: Custom, Proprietary Cable
The adapter connects to the iPad or iPhone using a special Lightning to USB Micro B cable (required and sold separately). It is compatible with Gigabit networking and provides bandwidth up to 225 Mbps.
Fast Ethernet - Up to 225Mbps
This wired Ethernet connection is compatible with Gigabit PoE switches, and provides reliable LAN connectivity at up to 225Mbps!
Step by Step
Locate the nearest wall outlet (120-240V A/C) to your tablet mounting location. Plug in our
VidaPower PoE Switch to the outlet, and connect a standard CAT/Ethernet cable from your router to the switch's uplink port. Next, run the powered CAT5 cable to your tablet location (up to 600') and connect it to the CAT5 port on the Redpark Power Adapter. Finally, connect your Lightning charging cable to the USB port of the Adapter, run your charging cable to your device and voila - we've connected your device to an A/C outlet up to 600' away! You're good!

Just need power, with no Ethernet? Use our Power Injector & save!
There are three ways to power your iPad, tablet, or USB device. Option one is to use the original charging cable with A/C adapter plugged into a standard 120/240V wall outlet, which may mean installing an A/C outlet if not close enough to your project. Your second option includes this Redpark Power Adapter and the optional Power Injector to bring power from any standard 120/240V wall outlet within 600', if we won't need wired Ethernet! This could save the time, expense, and headaches involved with installing a new outlet! (Yes, you can thank us later!)
Optional, High Wattage PoE Switch
If we need to charge multiple adapters, consider using our high-power, 60W Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) switch and enjoy sustained charging for up to (4) Redpark adapters. A properly connected switch will provide reliable, wired Ethernet via the uplink connection!
