Cisco AIR PWRINJ7= – 60 W Power Injector for Catalyst & Aironet APs (802.3bt / UPoE)

Product Overview and Features

Overview

The Cisco AIR‑PWRINJ7= is a high‑capacity Power over Ethernet (PoE) midspan injector engineered to support the latest high-power Cisco access points, including Catalyst and Aironet models requiring up to 60 W via Cisco UPoE (802.3bt). It integrates both 5G multigigabit data and power delivery over a single Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for local AC power at access point locations. It dynamically negotiates power, delivering 54–57 V DC at up to 1.161 A, and will only power compliant devices—protecting non‑compliant gear from accidental damage Encased in a compact, mountable chassis with mounting tabs and a single status LED indicating power states, the AIR‑PWRINJ7= ensures reliable operation with high MTBF and worldwide AC compatibility while supporting fast Ethernet speeds up to 5 Gb/s. This injector is ideal for powering high-end Wi‑Fi 6/6E access points, IP cameras, network convergence hardware, and multigigabit DSLAMs in environment where power access is limited or costly.
