Power delivery

This HPE midspan injector supplies 60 W of power over Ethernet using the 802.3bt standard. It adds PoE capability to existing network links without replacing the switch. The unit is black and weighs 1.0000. It suits installations that need to power compatible access points or cameras from a non-PoE switch port.

Deployment fit

It suits network teams adding a single powered device where the switch lacks 802.3bt support. It does not suit deployments that require multiple powered ports from one unit or buyers who need a managed PoE switch with per-port control.

Standard compliance

The decisive specification is 802.3bt 60 W output, which determines whether your powered device will operate correctly. Verify that the end device supports this exact standard before purchase.

Questions about this item

Should I choose the 60 W model or a lower-power injector for my access points?

The 60 W rating follows IEEE 802.3BT, so select this model when your devices need up to 60 W; a lower-power unit would not deliver enough power for Class 6 or 7 equipment.

What does the 60 W figure mean once the injector is installed in a rack?

It supplies up to 60 W per port over four-pair cabling, allowing a single cable to power high-density APs, cameras or IoT gateways without separate AC adapters.

How does the 802.3BT interface cap the power delivery in practice?

The 802.3BT standard negotiates Class 6 (60 W) at the link layer, so the injector will never exceed 60 W even if the connected device requests more.
