4 Port Very High Power GigE Passive 4pair PoE Midspan Injector - High

In this review the reviewer focuses on who benefits most from the 4 Port Very High Power GigE Passive 4pair PoE Midspan Injector and why its power density matters. This Tycon Power unit is aimed at installers and systems integrators who need to deliver very high, four-pair passive PoE to multiple devices from a central rack or cabinet. The single biggest reason to buy is its ability to supply up to 100W per port at a universal input range, simplifying power for high-draw cameras and access points without running separate power adapters.

Key Features

• Very high power per port: Supplies up to 100W on each of the four Gigabit ports so high-power cameras and radios can run without local power supplies.
• Wide input voltage range: Accepts 20VDC to 60VDC via a wire terminal, allowing flexible upstream power choices and centralized power backup.
• Gigabit data support: Full Gigabit pass-through ensures network speed is preserved while adding passive 4pair PoE to the data line.
• 4 pair passive PoE pinout: Uses 4pair power with pinout 3,4,5,6 V+ and 1,2,7,8 V- to match compatible high PoE devices reliably.
• DIN rail mountable: Includes DIN rail adapters so the injector installs neatly in equipment racks or industrial enclosures.

Who It's For

The injector is best suited to enterprise and industrial installers who need to power multiple high-draw network devices such as long-range wireless access points, high PoE security cameras, and other 4pair passive PoE equipment from a central room. It addresses setups where running AC to each device is impractical and where centralized battery or UPS backup is desirable.

Users who should look elsewhere include those needing IEEE 802.3at/af negotiation, midspan devices with automatic PoE classification, or environments where non-passive, standards-based PoE is mandatory for device compatibility or warranty protection.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Very high power delivery per port makes it practical to run power-hungry cameras and access points from a central source.
• Wide 20-60VDC input range provides flexibility for different power systems and UPS configurations.
• Gigabit data pass-through preserves network performance while injecting 4pair passive PoE.
• Includes DIN rail mounting hardware for clean installation in racks and industrial cabinets.

Cons

• Passive 4pair PoE means no standards-based negotiation; device compatibility must be confirmed before deployment.
• Requires an appropriate upstream power supply and wiring practices to realize the full 100W per port capability.

Specifications

Our Verdict

This midspan injector is a practical, cost-effective solution for installers who need centralized, very high power PoE for multiple devices. It delivers reliable Gigabit data with robust 4pair passive power and the wide input range makes it easy to integrate with centralized supplies and UPS systems. Buy it if you have compatible passive PoE devices and require high per-port power; choose a standards-based PoE injector if you need 802.3 negotiation or guaranteed device auto-detection.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this unit support Gigabit speeds?
Yes. The injector provides Gigabit Ethernet pass-through while adding passive 4pair PoE to the data line.

What voltage do I need to supply?
Provide a 20VDC to 60VDC input via the wire terminal; the unit accepts this range and outputs the same passive PoE voltage to devices.

Is the PoE standard 802.3af/at?
No. This is passive 4pair PoE (high PoE) and does not perform IEEE negotiation, so confirm device compatibility before deployment.
