Altronix NetWay1 single-port power injector supplies power and passes on data (text, audio and video) when connected with Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) devices. These PoE devices can be at a maximum distance of 100m from the midspan NetWay1 injector. This NetWay1 injector directly delivers power to the ethernet / data cable that is already in place, instead of installing additional power sockets, thereby reducing extra wiring. The Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) technology lets network cables carry both electrical power & data simultaneously.
Uses:
Altronix NetWay1 can be connected to both PoE and non-PoE devices (using accessories):
- PoE cameras
- IP cameras using NetWayXT repeater module (separately available)
- VoIP Phones
- Wireless Access Point
- Networked Audio
Features:
- Altronix NetWay1 single-pole injector requires 24VAC or 24VDC input power (1.2A current supply)
- PoE port supplies power and transfers data through an ethernet (CAT5) cable with 10/100 Base-T compliant data rate
- IEEE 802.3af compliant port delivers a maximum power rating of 15.4W at a supply voltage of 48VDC
- Integrated with safety features like short circuit protection, PoE manual shutdown (for UL 60950-1 application only) and auto-detection & protection facility of legacy non-PoE cameras / devices
- Comes with LED indicators: red for port status and yellow & green for IP link status
- Compact insulated housing equipped with RoHS-compliant acrylonitrile butadiene styrene enclosure and input & PoE shutdown spring terminals
- Operates at temperatures and altitudes ranging from 0 to 49 deg C and -304.8 to 3048m, respectively
Compatible Accessories:
- NetWayXT repeater module for extending the data range by an additional 100m, to get a maximum range of 600m using multiple repeaters based on the device port requirements
- NetWay1512 adapter for connecting non-PoE compliant fixed IP cameras
Standards and Approvals:
- UL-listed for Information Technology Equipment (UL60950-1), Access Control System Units (UL294) and PoE Access Control (UL294)
- cUL-listed for Information Technology Equipment
- CE-certified (European Conformity)
Installation:
- Mount the NetWay1 injector securely on a wall using a fastener and / or wall anchors
- Connect to a UL-listed Class 2 or LPS (limited power supply) device for supplying the input power
- Then, link 24VAC/24VDC to terminals marked (24VAC/VDC Input) using 22 - 16AWG wire.
- Affix the structured cable from the [IN] port to a UL-listed ethernet switch or a video server
- Attach another structured cable from the [OUT] port to the PoE device
- Port status LED illuminates in case of normal operation & secured connections
- To begin PoE shutdown, manually apply voltage in the range of 12 to 24VAC or 5 to 24VDC to the [PoE Shutdown] marked input terminals on the power injectors
- The NetWay1 unit starts supplying power normally to PoE compliant devices when the applied voltage is removed from the shutdown terminals
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q. Can we connect any PoE device to the Netway1 power injector?
A. Altronix Netway1 is compatible with PoE devices requiring power supply ratings up to 15.4W
Q. How much time does it take to return to normal operation from PoE shutdown mode?
A. It takes around 4 seconds to return to normal operation after PoE shutdown.
Q. What kind of input power supply is required in Netway1?
A. It is recommended to use a UL-listed access control limited power supply (for UL294 applications) or Class 2 rated transformer / power supply (for UL60950-1 applications).
