Multi-speed PoE injector supports Wi-Fi 6 infrastructure
The EKI-2701MPI-5G is a compact, industrial grade injector by Advantech which delivers Wi-Fi 6 network infrastructure, power over Ethernet (PoE) and advanced connectivity to existing infrastructure. It supports multiple data rates, i.e. 10M / 100M / 1G / 2.5G / 5G (data in) and IEEE802.3bt 90W PoE output. Advantech advised that it can be used for obsolete infrastructure applications requiring heavy network connectivity.
The EKI-2701MPI-5G supports downward-compatible 2.5 and 5Gbits per second data rates to deliver Wi-Fi 6 capabilities to existing wireless infrastructure. It also serves as a PoE power source, delivering up to 90W output to IP cameras, Wi-Fi 6 access points, and other connected devices. The injector’s PoE standard is downward- compatible for 15, 30, and 60W PoE power delivery (PD) devices, which can facilitate network infrastructure upgrades. Using the EKI-2701MPI-5G to upgrade infrastructure saves manpower while reducing cabling weight and cost, added Advantech. The downward-compatible data rate helps extend the life cycle of existing devices, the company said.
The compact, palm-sized form factor is adaptable to network infrastructure upgrades where space is limited. It is capable of delivering network service without overheating and supports a wide operating temperature range of -40 to +75 degrees C.
The injector’s force mode power supports up to 90W by DIP switch, power input of 54 to 57V DC and 90W.
The slim industrial grade metal housing is IP40-rated and is for DIN rail mounting.
