Product Features
Technical Overview
The AIR-PWRINJ6= operates as a transparent bridge between your network switch and Cisco Aironet 1810 Series access points. It receives standard Power over Ethernet from an upstream switch or another PoE source and passes both data and power through to the connected access point. This maintains Gigabit Ethernet throughput while eliminating the need for separate power adapters at the access point location.
The injector's design focuses on reliability and compatibility, ensuring stable power delivery that meets the requirements of Cisco's enterprise-grade wireless hardware. Its plug-and-play installation requires no configuration, making it suitable for both IT professionals and network installers who need to quickly extend PoE capabilities.

FAQ
What Cisco access points are compatible with this PoE injector?
The AIR-PWRINJ6= is specifically designed for use with Cisco Aironet 1810 Series wireless access points. It provides the correct power specifications and data connectivity required by these enterprise-grade access points. This targeted compatibility ensures reliable operation without the need for additional configuration or compatibility testing.
How does this PoE injector connect to my network?
The injector connects between your network switch and the Cisco access point. You connect a standard Ethernet cable from your switch to the PoE input port on the injector, then connect another Ethernet cable from the Gigabit Ethernet output port to your Cisco Aironet 1810 Series access point. Both data and power pass through the injector to the access point.
What type of PoE does this injector support?
The AIR-PWRINJ6= accepts standard Power over Ethernet input from compatible PoE switches or other PoE sources. It then delivers this power along with network data to the connected Cisco access point. The injector itself doesn't generate power but acts as a pass-through device that enables PoE capability where it wouldn't otherwise be available.
Does this injector affect network speed or performance?
No, the injector maintains full Gigabit Ethernet throughput while passing both data and power. It operates transparently on the network, allowing 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds to pass through without reduction. This ensures that your Cisco access points can utilize their full wireless capabilities without being limited by the power injection method.
Where is this PoE injector typically installed?
The compact design allows installation anywhere along the Ethernet cable run between your network switch and access point. Common installation locations include network closets, ceiling spaces near access points, or wall-mounted near electrical outlets. The injector requires no special mounting hardware and can be placed on any flat surface or secured with standard cable management accessories.
What are the main benefits of using this dedicated PoE injector?
The primary benefits include enabling Cisco Aironet 1810 Series access point deployment in locations without PoE switch ports or nearby electrical outlets, maintaining Gigabit network performance while adding power delivery, and providing a cost-effective alternative to upgrading entire network switch infrastructure. The plug-and-play operation also simplifies installation for IT teams and network installers.
