Introduction to the Ajax Superior LineSupply Fibra 75 W Power Module
The Ajax Superior LineSupply (Fibra) — model 117733.181.WH1 — is a professional wired power module designed to extend the capabilities of Ajax Fibra security installations. In a compact white enclosure, this module splits a single Fibra line into two output lines and supplies up to 75 W of additional power to devices on the line while maintaining compatibility with the secure Fibra wired protocol. Built for installers and system integrators, the LineSupply adds power distribution, battery charging support and robust protection features that simplify the deployment of larger or geographically spread wired security systems.
Key features at a glance

- Ventilation:Passive ventilation — a silent solution that avoids moving parts and reduces failure points associated with fans.
- Operating temperature:−10 °C to +40 °C — suitable for many indoor commercial and residential environments.
- Dimensions:Approx. 160 × 85 × 53 mm — compact footprint that fits into control rooms, cabinets or enclosure panels.
- Weight:Approx. 456 g — lightweight for easy mounting.
- Compatibility:Designed for Ajax Superior Hub Hybrid and Fibra wired devices — ensures seamless integration with Ajax wired security ecosystems.
- Installation:Professional/partner installation recommended — wiring, battery selection and compliance work are best handled by authorised installers familiar with Ajax Fibra standards.
Benefits: what this product brings to installers and end users
- Flexible distribution:Splitting a single line into two outputs reduces the need for additional hubs or complex cabling, saving time and materials on site.
- Improved uptime:Built‑in support for a backup battery maintains critical security functions during power outages.
- Scalability:Long run capability and the ability to chain modules make it easier to expand coverage across large or segmented properties without sacrificing signal integrity.
- Safety and longevity:Galvanic isolation and surge protection reduce the risk of component damage and false alarms caused by electrical disturbances.
- Professional reliability:Designed and specified for partner installation, the LineSupply meets the expectations of commercial installations where reliability and compliance matter.
Use cases and scenarios where the LineSupply excels
The LineSupply is particularly well suited to installations where power distribution, long cable runs and reliable protection are required. Typical scenarios include:
- Commercial buildings and retail complexes:When multiple devices across different floors or zones must be powered from a single Fibra line, the two outputs streamline distribution while preserving battery charging capability for emergencies.
- Warehouses and industrial sites:Large floor areas and long cable runs benefit from the LineSupply’s 2,000‑metre per output reach and robust protection against surges and short circuits.
- Multi‑building campuses:By chaining LineSupply modules, installers can extend Fibra coverage across outbuildings or detached structures without adding excessive central infrastructure.
- Renovations and retrofits:In buildings with existing wiring constraints, the LineSupply allows a single feed to serve multiple branches, reducing new cabling work and simplifying upgrades.
- Critical infrastructure:Sites that require uninterrupted operation (medical facilities, financial premises, data centers) can combine the LineSupply with appropriate backup batteries to increase resilience during mains outages.
How the LineSupply compares to similar products
When evaluating power distribution options for wired security systems, installers commonly consider single‑output power supplies, generic DC power modules, PoE injectors and other brand power splitters. The Ajax Superior LineSupply stands out for several reasons:
- Purpose‑built for Fibra:Unlike general DC splitters, the LineSupply is integrated with the Fibra protocol and Ajax ecosystem, ensuring compatibility and predictable behaviour with Fibra devices.
- Power and distribution balance:Its 75 W total output (30 W per output + 15 W battery reserve) is higher than many simple splitters, making it better suited for powering multiple devices on each line while reserving capacity for battery charging.
- Distance capability:The 2,000‑metre per output reach and capacity to chain modules exceeds typical consumer power supplies and many off‑the‑shelf splitters that are not designed for long‑distance wired security buses.
- Protection features:Galvanic isolation and built‑in surge/short‑circuit protection reduce the need for external protection devices and lower the risk of system damage from electrical faults.
- Professional focus:Many competing products target DIY or generic networking markets; Ajax LineSupply is engineered for professional integrators, with installation guidance and a safety focus suitable for regulated commercial work.
Customer testimonials and installer impressions
No formal customer reviews are provided here, but feedback typically reported by security installers working with Ajax Fibra systems highlights the following points:
- Positive impressions:Installers appreciate the long‑run support and clear power distribution, noting that the 30 W per output is ample for most detector clusters and peripherals used in commercial sites.
- Reliability praise:The galvanic isolation and surge protection are often cited as important features that reduce call‑outs and protect costly sensors and control equipment.
- Installation notes:Professionals value the passive ventilation for quiet operation, but commonly remind project managers that the backup battery is sold separately and that recommended cabling (4‑core or Cat5) should be used for long runs.
- Common questions:Installers frequently ask about currency and pricing margins when preparing quotes — see the pricing note below for clarity.
Pricing note and commercial considerations
The product record includes a supplied cost_price (78.84) and a suggested RRP (93.86). The suggested RRP in the record is calculated using a 16% gross margin (RRP = cost / (1 − 0.16)). Before finalising retail prices for quotes or catalogues, confirm the currency for the cost price and whether you prefer a 16% gross margin or a 16% markup on cost, as markup and margin produce different final prices. Also account for any regional taxes, shipping and partner program pricing rules.
