Antaira Launches 100W AC-Powered PoE++ Injector

Antaira Technologies has introduced the INJ-0201G-bt-AC-100-T, a rugged, high-power Power over Ethernet (PoE) injector designed to deliver reliable performance in extreme environments. Featuring an integrated 100-240VAC power input, the device allows users to plug it directly into a standard wall outlet. It provides IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++), 95W High PoE, or 100W four-pair (4PPoE) output over a single Ethernet cable, seamlessly bringing high-wattage PoE capabilities to legacy, non-PoE network infrastructures.

The fanless, IP30-rated injector is engineered to operate reliably in extreme temperatures ranging from -40°C to 75°C. It delivers both high-power PoE and Gigabit data (10/100/1000TX) to support power-hungry edge equipment such as motorized PTZ cameras, Wi-Fi 6 and Wi-Fi 7 access points, and advanced industrial sensors. By connecting directly between a standard non-PoE switch and the Powered Device (PD), the unit reduces cabling requirements and accelerates installation for industrial automation, security, and transportation deployments.

Additional Context
This section provides technological and market background not explicitly detailed in the original release.

The evolution of network edge devices—such as next-generation Wi-Fi access points, advanced PTZ cameras with built-in environmental heaters, and complex industrial sensors—has driven power requirements well beyond the 30W limit of older PoE+ standards. The IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) standard addresses this by utilizing all four twisted pairs of an Ethernet cable to deliver up to 100W. Furthermore, industrial and remote environments often lack the centralized DC power infrastructure typically found in enterprise IT closets. An AC-powered, temperature-hardened injector eliminates the need for separate, bulky external power supplies, allowing system integrators to quickly deploy high-wattage devices using standard network switches and readily available AC wall outlets.
