Product Overview and Features

The Cisco AIR‑PWRINJ5 is a streamlined, single-port PoE injector crafted for Cisco Aironet access points in environments lacking PoE switches or nearby power outlets. It delivers 15.4 W of IEEE 802.3af power through standard Cat 5 (or better) Ethernet cable, supporting cable runs up to 100 m—including its own 2 m integrated cable.

Designed for ceiling- and wall-mounted installations, the device features a rugged enclosure with integrated keyhole mounting tabs. One LED clearly indicates status: blinking green during startup, solid green when powering a valid AP, and rapid green flashes during fault conditions . It is a compact, reliable solution that supports Aironet models like 1040, 1140, 1260, 1600, 2600, and 3500 series—plus the 3600 series when no expansion modules are attached (Cisco recommends AIR-PWRINJ4 instead for powered modules)
