Altronix NETWAY161G 16-Port PoE/PoE+ Midspan Injector with Battery Charger

Altronix NETWAY161G 16-Port PoE/PoE+ Midspan Injector with Battery Charger

The Altronix NETWAY161G is a professional-grade 16-port PoE/PoE+ midspan injector housed in a compact 1U rack enclosure, specifically designed for IP camera and edge device deployments requiring power over Ethernet with backup capability. IEEE 802.3af (15W) and IEEE 802.3at (30W) compliant, this midspan delivers up to 30W maximum power per port with 480W total power budget, enabling simultaneous powering of 16 PoE+ devices. Data passes at 10/100/1000 Mbps speeds over standard CAT5e or better structured cabling at distances up to 100m (328 feet), with auto-crossover RJ45 connectivity and half/full duplex auto-negotiation ensuring seamless integration with existing network infrastructure.

Designed for mission-critical installations, the NETWAY161G features an integral battery charger supporting sealed lead acid or gel type batteries (sold separately, requires separate RE2 enclosure) with instantaneous failover upon AC loss, ensuring continuous PoE power during outages. Auto-detection and protection of legacy non-PoE cameras/devices prevents damage to equipment not designed for PoE. Comprehensive LED indicators including port status (green), power (red), and yellow/green IP link status LEDs provide real-time monitoring of system operation. The unit accepts universal input of 115VAC 60Hz 5.5A or 230VAC 50/60Hz 3.0A, operating in extreme temperatures from -20°C to 50°C (-4°F to 122°F) with 85% ±5% relative humidity tolerance. Compact dimensions of 1.625" × 19.125" × 8.5" (41.3mm × 486mm × 216mm) enable standard 1U rack mounting. CE European Conformity certified with Altronix Lifetime Warranty, ideal for security camera systems, access control, and VoIP deployments requiring reliable PoE distribution with battery backup capability.
