PoE Injector Cisco AIR-PWRINJ6 — up to 30W, Gigabit Ethernet, IEEE 802.3at, Black

The Cisco AIR-PWRINJ6 PoE Injector supplies power and network connectivity over a single Gigabit Ethernet cable, delivering up to 30W (with 25W typical output) and complying with the IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standard. Designed for use with compatible Cisco Aironet access points and other network devices that accept PoE+, this compact black injector provides an alternative to local AC adapters or inline powering from multiport switches. It supports 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Ethernet data rates and includes the necessary power supply, power cable and pointer card for straightforward installation.

Advantages

The Cisco PoE injector simplifies deployment by combining power and data delivery over the same Ethernet cable, reducing cabling complexity and the need for nearby power outlets. Compliance with IEEE 802.3at ensures standardized power negotiation and compatibility with PoE+ capable devices. Its Gigabit Ethernet support preserves full network throughput for modern access points and other high-bandwidth equipment. The compact form factor and included power accessories enable quick integration into existing networks without modifying switches or patch panels.

Suitable for

• Powering Cisco Aironet access points that require PoE+.
• Supplying power to standalone network devices in locations without AC outlets.
• Upgrading existing installations to Gigabit-capable PoE delivery.
• Temporary or permanent deployments where a single-cable solution is preferred.

Key specifications

• Power standard: IEEE 802.3at (PoE+)
• Maximum power rating: up to 30W (output power typically 25W)
• Data interface: 10/100/1000 Mbit/s Gigabit Ethernet
• Physical colour: black
• Included items: external power supply, power cable, pointer card

How to use

Connect the injector's LAN input to an Ethernet switch or router using a standard Ethernet cable, then connect the PoE output port to the powered device such as a Cisco Aironet access point. Plug the included power supply into the injector and into an AC outlet. The injector and the powered device will perform PoE negotiation automatically; verify device LED indicators or management interface to confirm successful power and data delivery. For cable runs approaching the Ethernet distance limit, use quality Cat5e or higher cabling to maintain performance.

Recommendations

Use the injector with devices that support IEEE 802.3at to ensure proper power negotiation and device protection. Avoid exceeding the specified power budget by confirming the target device's power draw. Install the injector in a ventilated environment and follow local electrical codes when routing the power cable and positioning the unit.
