1. Introduction
The Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector is a mid-span power injector designed and tested for use with
all IEEE802.3af compatible PoE Powered Devices (PDs). The PoE injector sits between a switch port
and the PoE powered device, providing inline power capability to an un-powered switch port.
The injector provides modular power design. For high power applications, the injector can be installed
with 2 power modules to support full PoE power up to 120W for eight powered devices. For low
power applications, the injector can work with only one power module and support PoE power up to
60W for eight connections. This flexible modular power design provides cost-effective solutions for
different requirements.
The PoE injector offers the following significant benefits:
Low purchase cost - Installing an injector costs less than upgrading to new PoE switches, since
PoE injectors can easily connect with existing Ethernet switches.
Low installation cost - The injector is a plug & play product making the installation much easier
than a PoE switch. There is no need any software configuration.
Protecting existing and future investment – The PoE injectors are interoperable with all Ethernet
switches and most terminals. PoE injectors can be used in conjunction with different switch
vendors, and end-terminals, which comply with the PoE 802.3af standard. It protects your existing
network installation and future investment as well.
