Aironet 802.3af Power Injector

Product Description

The Cisco AIR-PWRINJ5= from Cisco is a compact Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) injector designed to supply power to compatible Cisco Aironet wireless access points over standard Ethernet cabling.

Supporting IEEE 802.3af PoE, it allows network administrators to deploy access points in locations where PoE-enabled switches are unavailable, eliminating the need for separate power outlets near the AP. The injector delivers both data and electrical power through a single Ethernet cable, simplifying installations and reducing infrastructure costs.

Its enterprise-grade reliability makes it suitable for offices, retail sites, schools, and branch deployments requiring stable wireless connectivity.
