FAQ: iPad Ethernet & PoE Adapters

Q: What is the difference between an iPad Ethernet adapter with PoE and without PoE?

A: An adapter with PoE (Power over Ethernet) provides both a wired data connection and charging through a single Ethernet cable, making it ideal for kiosks, POS, and digital signage. Adapters without PoE provide only a reliable wired Ethernet connection — a great choice when you need stable internet without charging through the same cable.

Q: Which iPads are compatible with these adapters?

A: USB-C iPads (iPad Pro, iPad Air 4+, iPad 10th Gen, iPad A16 and iPad Mini A17) work with USB-C Ethernet/PoE adapters.

Q: Do I need special software or drivers?

A: No, iSynC and nSynC adapters are plug-and-play while eSynC adapters require a special app (LTM) which is free to download.

Q: Can I use these adapters in commercial settings (kiosks, POS, conference rooms)?

A: Yes. iSynC, nSynC and eSynC adapters are designed for continuous use in professional environments such as kiosks, digital signage, and retail POS systems. PoE models are especially popular in locations where a single cable for power and data is preferred.

Q: What is the benefit of PoE for iPad setups?

A: With PoE, you can run both power and data through one Ethernet cable, reducing clutter, eliminating power bricks, and ensuring your iPad stays charged while maintaining a stable wired connection.

Q: What if I only need data without charging?

A: In that case, a non-PoE Ethernet adapter is sufficient. It gives your iPad a stable wired connection while keeping power consumption low.
