I was counting on it helping me get the network switch running from afar, more than 50 feet from any power source nearby.
They make network switches that can be powered by poe. Here is a simmilar switch with that feature https://www.netgear.com/support/product/gs105pe
You cannot connect a PoE injector to any switch expecting it to work. It requires a switch that provides PoE input. Using the right PoE type is essential to avoid damaging equipment and meet power needs. The USW-Flex-Mini accepts PoE/PoE+ (44–57V DC, 0.05–0.04A) for its own operation only. Other connected devices won't receive power. It isn't designed for outdoor use, but it is rated for the outdoors and supports PoE++. It can power Ethernet devices at PoE+ up to 46W. Make sure your client devices match this capability.
