SL Power Electronics Corp has announced a single port power injector for Power-over-Ethernet (PoE), Gigabit-compatible applications (10/100/1000 MbPS data rates). The Ault PW182 family provides power to devices through RJ45 jacks and high-speed data transfer over a single Ethernet cable. The PW182 family has four models --- PW182RA, PW182RB, PW182RC and PW182RD. The models vary slightly in their functionality, power level and compliance with IEEE 802.3af , the standard that defines the specifications for building Ethernet-powered sourcing equipment and powered terminals.

“We are very excited about our new Power over Ethernet offering because of its depth and performance,” said Nigel Davies, European Managing Director, SL Power Electronics. “We have traditionally been a leader in developing solutions for this popular technology and our customers look to us to maintain that leadership role. Our PoE product offering is available in all volume levels through our sales channels.”

The PW182RA is a 19W Gigabit designed for legacy equipment. The PW182RB is 17W Gigabit that complies with the IEEE802.3af specifications. The PW183RC is a 19W injector supporting data rates of 10/100 MbPS. The PW182RD is 17W, supports 10/100 MbPS data rates and complies with the IEEE802.3af detection, disconnect, overload and over voltage control function.

Each product in the Ault PW182 power injector family has overload shutdown, short circuit protection and regulated output with low ripple. A load diagnostic LED advises when power is active, on, or if there is an error so users always know the status (IEEE802.3af compliant) or Power ON LED for RA and RC models . AC input voltage range for the single port injector is 100 VAC to 240 VAC and AC input frequency from 47Hz to 63Hz. All models meet safety approvals for OEMs to support customers worldwide.

SL Power also offers a service called Personalized PoE. This service provides customers an array of options to truly customize the power injector to meet their unique technical, marketing or branding needs.

The PW182RB is available immediately for approximately $15.45 in OEM quantities of 1,000 (pricing is model dependent).
