- LED indicators: AC (green); Port LED (green = 4‑pair, yellow = 2‑pair) — simple visual status for installation diagnostics.
Benefits: Full GigE passthrough avoids bottlenecks in high‑bandwidth camera streams or WAP backhaul. The shielded connectors and port LEDs are useful in professional CCTV/network installations where cable shielding and clear status indication matter.
- Dimensions: 167 × 89 × 44 mm; Weight: ~475 g — compact, unobtrusive wall‑mountable unit.
- Input connector: IEC C14 mains inlet — industry standard for reliable AC connection.
- Operating temperature: −10°C to +40°C; Storage: −20°C to +70°C; Relative humidity: up to 95% non‑condensing.
Benefits: The sealed, fanless design minimizes ingress points for dust and moisture, making it a safer choice for sheltered outdoor equipment rooms, CCTV enclosures and indoor network closets that require quiet, maintenance‑free power.
- Certifications: CE, FCC, UKCA, RoHS, EN 55032 Class B, EN55024, VCCI, UL/EN/IEC 60950‑1 (Ed2).
- Safety features: Integrated overload protection prevents damage to connected devices in fault conditions.
Benefits: Broad regulatory compliance simplifies deployments across multiple regions and gives integrators confidence that the injector meets electromagnetic compatibility and safety standards.
Use Cases and Scenarios Where the OUTSOURCE 90 Excels
- High‑power PTZ cameras:PTZ cameras with heating, wipers or high‑powered illuminators can easily draw 60–90 W during operation. The OUTSOURCE 90 supplies the full range of power these cameras can require without an external PSU at the camera.
- Outdoor access points and small cells:High‑capacity wireless APs and some small‑cell radio units require more than 30 W; 90 W gives headroom for PoE‑powered radios and associated auxiliary modules.
- Digital signage and kiosks:Single displays with PoE‑powered players or integrated peripherals benefit from a tidy, single‑cable installation.
- Temporary or remote installations:When you must power a single device in a remote location, a compact wall‑mount injector that provides full Hi‑PoE is often simpler and safer than deploying custom wiring.
- Contractor and DIY CCTV projects:The plug‑and‑play nature (with correct cabling and standards compliance) makes it suitable for both professional installers and informed DIY users who follow local electrical codes.
In short, wherever a single PoE device needs significant headroom for motors, heaters, illuminators or high processing loads, a 90 W midspan is the simplest practical solution.
How It Compares with Similar Products
There are many PoE injectors and midspans on the market; comparison points to consider include power level, number of ports, data throughput, enclosure design and certification. The OUTSOURCE 90 stands out primarily because of its single‑port 90 W output combined with Gigabit data and a sealed, fanless housing.
Typical PoE injectors rated at 15–30 W (802.3af/at) cannot reliably power modern PTZ cameras or high‑end APs. The OUTSOURCE 90’s 802.3bt support means it powers these devices without workarounds. Compared with 60 W injectors, the extra headroom is useful for devices that draw higher inrush currents or have active heaters and lights.
Multiport PoE switches are great where many powered devices are needed from one location. However, for point‑to‑point runs or retrofits where only one device needs high power, a single‑port midspan like the OUTSOURCE 90 is usually smaller, more cost‑effective and easier to install. It also avoids changing existing network switch infrastructure.
Some competing 90 W injectors use vented designs or include fans. The OUTSOURCE 90’s sealed fanless enclosure is advantageous in dusty or insect‑prone environments and reduces maintenance points. However, installations with ambient temperatures consistently above +40°C should consider higher‑temperature‑rated models or install the unit in ventilated enclosures.
Customer Testimonials and Installer Feedback
Public, product‑specific reviews for dedicated industrial midspans can be limited. Installer feedback and typical comments from integrators who choose 90 W midspans like the OUTSOURCE 90 include:
- Reliability: "Appreciated the sealed, fanless design — less maintenance in outdoor enclosures."
- Performance: "Straightforward power delivery for PTZs and modern APs; GigE passthrough preserved camera bitrates."
- Installation: "Compact wall‑mount form factor and IEC inlet made it easy to retrofit into existing equipment cabinets."
Note: These paraphrased comments reflect common installer experience with high‑power, single‑port 802.3bt midspans and are consistent with the OUTSOURCE 90’s design priorities. Customers should check full user reviews and local installer reports for environment‑specific observations.
Considerations and Limitations
- Single‑port only:If you need to power multiple devices from a single location, a multiport PoE switch may be more appropriate.
- Temperature range:Operating up to +40°C suits many indoor and sheltered outdoor locations; consult product guidance for hotter environments.
- Device compatibility:Ensure connected devices support IEEE 802.3bt where high power is required. The injector is backward compatible, but non‑compliant devices may not negotiate power correctly.
- Warranty and procurement:Verify warranty terms with your reseller — the specification set provided here does not include a manufacturer warranty detail. Suggested price and cost will vary by region and distributor (suggested price: 151.00; cost price: 126.76 as provided).
