PoE Texas PoE Power and Ethernet Adapter for Apple Tablets and Phones for POS, Digital Signage, & More - 802.3af POE to 5 Volt Splitter - Extends Charging & Data Delivery Up to 328 Feet

Quite simply plug-in play just make sure you have a POE ethernet wire or at least it’s plugged into a POE switch

This does the trick to power and connect Ethernet to an older iPad with the lightning connector. Don’t get the USB-C version. It doesn’t work with the older iPads.

It can get kind of hot (expected) but so far it's been rock solid.

I bought this PoE adaptor so that I could use an iPad as a controller for my movie theatre A/V system, in order to both keep it charged and to utilize the hardwired Ethernet connection.I was able to fit the adaptor inside a single-gang Wiremold junction box. The long cord and right-angle connector gave me plenty of slack to route the cable inside the iPad mount (for which I had to go through the wall and into the back of the mount, since there are no openings on the bottom of the mount I have).The adaptor provides Fast Ethernet (100mbps - NOT gigabit / 1000mbps) connectivity. For my purposes, this is more than sufficient.The adaptor also has two mounting holes, although I did not need them in my instance. The adaptor was a bit too thick to fit inside the iPad mount which I am using (which is actually for the original generation iPads, so it's probably a lot thicker than a newer mount would be). This is why I was glad I could fit it inside the single-gang box, or could have been mounted ouside the enclosure.

Nice compact size. Using as a both a power charger and to provide wired Ethernet (data) connection for iPad for use with Zoom (inside Heckler case). One plus, though it's non-removable, is that it comes with the lightning adapter (right angle) so you don't have to purchase an additional cable. Everything working fine so far - would purchase again.

This works for my wall mounted iPad. It was simple to use with a POE switch.

I design AV systems for corporate and higher-ed environments. I'm currently integrating iPhones as touchscreen control panels, and this adapter is exactly what I needed. I simply connected it to the POE switch with an ethernet cable, and within seconds I had power and a network connection to the iPhone.

My company deploys iPhones and IPads in commercial environments and we needed a PoE solution. We ended up testing both the PoE Texas devices and the Belkin solution. These PoE Texas devices worked great. Plug and play out of the box, even with older devices like iPhone 6s phones. They are compact and support GigE. The Belkin adapters did allow for a lightning-based power source (making it both a regular Ethernet adapter + Power port and PoE), but otherwise, it is at least twice as large as these adapters and only got half the speed (around 300-400 Mbps). I've already deployed over 20 of these adapters and they have really saved the day for us. My only complaint is the rather large 90 degree lightning connector, which impact some cases we used.
