Abstract
A power over Ethernet (PoE) interface device includes a knockout adapter. The knockout adapter is configured for mounting to a conduit knockout opening in an LED luminaire. The interface device includes a power assembly having an input section and an output section. The power assembly is connected to the knockout adapter such that the output section is positioned inside the luminaire when the knockout adapter is mounted to the luminaire. The power assembly further includes a data connector mounted to the input section. The data connector is configured to receive PoE signals from a data cable coupled to the data connector. Power output terminals are mounted to the output section and electrically coupled to the data connector. The power output terminals may be configured to couple the PoE signals from the data connector to an LED light source in the luminaire.
