PoE Injectors / Inserters

Tycon Power® offers a broad line of AC input and DC input injectors for almost any PoE application. Our most popular PoE injectors are DC input which can run from batteries in remote stations, vehicles, etc.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Injectors/inserters are used to provide power to network devices over CAT5+ Ethernet cable. The main advantage to this approach is that a single cable can be run to supply both high speed data and power.

User Convenience

In addition to performance and reliability, Tycon®’s PoE injectors are engineered with user convenience in mind. Compact and lightweight designs allow for flexible installation, with a broad spectrum of devices. By combining advanced technology with practical features, Tycon Systems® delivers a cost-effective solution for powering network devices, enhancing overall system efficiency and reducing operational costs.

Essential Power

Devices, commonly used in IT and telecommunications, are essential for powering equipment such as IP cameras, wireless access points, VoIP phones, and other network devices without needing separate power cables. By simplifying cabling requirements, PoE injectors improve installation efficiency and reduce costs, making them a popular choice for modern network infrastructures.

Diverse Configurations

PoE injectors work by injecting power into the Ethernet cable, typically at a central location near the network switch or router. They come in various configurations, supporting different power standards such as IEEE 802.3af, 802.3at, and 802.3bt, which dictate the maximum power output (up to 100W for 802.3bt). Some injectors are single-port, designed for individual devices, while others are multi-port, capable of powering several devices simultaneously. PoE injectors are a practical and scalable solution, especially in environments where running separate electrical wiring is challenging or costly. Their reliability and versatility make them an essential component for deploying efficient and connected systems in smart buildings and beyond.

Another unique feature of our DC input PoE Inserters is they have a battery save feature to shut down to zero current if battery voltage is too low. The AC and DC injectors have built in surge protection.

network lighting solutions

PoE Lighting

PoE Lighting involves powering and controlling LED lights over CAT5+ Ethernet cable. These applications typically require higher power PoE devices. Tycon Power® has you covered with single port and multi-port PoE products suitable for Power Over Ethernet Lighting Applications.

Revolutionary Approach

Power over Ethernet (PoE) lighting is a revolutionary approach to modern lighting systems that leverages Ethernet cables to deliver both power and data to LED light fixtures. By integrating lighting with network infrastructure, PoE lighting provides an efficient, flexible, and intelligent solution for managing illumination in commercial, industrial, and even residential spaces. This technology not only simplifies installation by eliminating the need for traditional electrical wiring but also enables advanced functionalities through centralized control and connectivity.

Connectivity

A PoE lighting system typically consists of LED fixtures connected to a PoE switch or injector, which supplies low-voltage power and communication over a single Ethernet cable. This connectivity enables seamless integration with Internet of Things (IoT) platforms, allowing users to remotely control and monitor lighting systems via software or mobile apps. Features like dimming, color temperature adjustments, occupancy sensing, and daylight harvesting can be automated or manually configured to enhance energy efficiency and occupant comfort. Moreover, the centralized control capability of PoE lighting systems supports scalability and adaptability, making them ideal for dynamic spaces where lighting needs may change over time.

Energy Efficient

Beyond operational benefits, PoE lighting systems offer significant cost savings. The energy-efficient nature of LEDs, combined with precise control over usage, can lead to substantial reductions in electricity bills. Installation costs are also lower, as Ethernet cabling is less expensive and more versatile than traditional electrical wiring. Furthermore, the ability to monitor energy consumption and integrate with building management systems (BMS) makes PoE lighting an attractive option for organizations aiming to achieve sustainability goals.

The technology also promotes safety and ease of maintenance. Since PoE systems operate at low voltage, the risk of electrical hazards is minimized. Troubleshooting and updates can be managed remotely, reducing downtime and labor costs. As smart buildings become the standard, PoE lighting is poised to play a pivotal role in creating energy-efficient, responsive, and interconnected environments.

PoE Splitters

Power over Ethernet (PoE) splitters are devices that allow non-PoE-enabled equipment to benefit from PoE technology by separating the power and data delivered over an Ethernet cable.Tycon® PoE Splitters take a PoE input and split out the data and power on separate connectors. A PoE Splitter is mainly used to power devices that are not capable of PoE but it is desired to save cost by running only a single CAT5+ cable and also to future proof the installation.

Data Transmitting

In a standard PoE system, both power and data are transmitted simultaneously to devices like IP cameras, wireless access points, and VoIP phones. However, not all devices are equipped to receive power through an Ethernet port. PoE splitters address this limitation by extracting the power and providing it as a separate output, while still delivering data to the device.

PoE splitters are commonly used in situations where legacy or low-power devices need to be integrated into a PoE network. For example, an older surveillance camera without PoE capabilities can be connected to a PoE switch using a splitter. The splitter will send the data stream directly to the camera while converting and supplying the power as a separate connection, typically using a DC barrel jack or another standard power interface. This eliminates the need for additional electrical wiring, making installation more efficient and reducing overall infrastructure costs.

Variety of Configurations

Available in a variety of configurations, PoE splitters support different power standards, including IEEE 802.3af (15.4W), 802.3at (30W), and 802.3bt (up to 60-100W). These features make them versatile and adaptable for a wide range of applications, from powering small IoT devices to integrating larger equipment into smart building systems.

Network Flexibility and Scalability

In addition to their functional advantages, PoE splitters contribute to overall network flexibility and scalability. They allow organizations to leverage the benefits of PoE technology even when upgrading to entirely PoE-compatible hardware isn’t feasible. This can be particularly useful in retrofitting existing setups or expanding networks incrementally. By bridging the gap between PoE and non-PoE devices, splitters ensure seamless integration, helping organizations build robust and cost-effective network solutions.
