Deployment / Use Cases
This injector is purpose-built for Ubiquiti's EdgePoint switch series, specifically the EP-R8 and EP-S16 models. It is ideal for scenarios where these switches are installed in locations without convenient access to AC power outlets, such as in ceiling mounts, industrial environments, or extended network runs.
Common applications include powering EdgePoint switches that, in turn, provide PoE to connected access points, IP cameras, or other PoE devices. It serves as a reliable midspan power source in network topologies where an EdgePoint switch cannot be directly connected to a power outlet.
EdgePoint Switch Power
Primary use is to provide power to Ubiquiti EdgePoint switches (EP-R8, EP-S16) in deployments where local AC power is unavailable or impractical.
Network Extension
Enables the placement of network switches beyond the reach of standard power cables, facilitating flexible network design and expansion.
Physical Profile
The injector has a compact, desktop-friendly design measuring 4.84 inches wide, 2.56 inches deep, and 1.34 inches tall. Its modest footprint and weight of approximately 10.55 ounces allow for placement on shelves, in cable management areas, or mounted securely alongside other network gear. The form factor supports stable operation in typical networking environments without requiring dedicated rack space.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 1.34" (34 mm), 4.84" (123 mm), 2.56" (65 mm), 10.55 oz (299 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
