T
he cost-effective Power over Ethernet solution
T
he ORiNOCO Active Ethernet solution eliminates the need for power units (AC to DC
converters) and 110/220 V AC cabling installation. With the Active Ethernet solution,
system installation requires only a single Ethernet cable for each Access Point, rather than
separate power and data cables.
The right-sized Power over Ethernet solution
The ORiNOCO Active Ethernet solution encompasses a “power injector”, typically installed in
the wiring closet, that ”injects” DC power to the Ethernet cable. This device is available in
three models: for handling twelve ORiNOCO infrastructure units (19” rack slot), for handling
six ORiNOCO infrastructure units and for handling one ORiNOCO infrastructure unit.
The intelligent Power over Ethernet solution
The ORiNOCO Active Ethernet power injection unit includes Automatic Load Sensing, which
constantly checks for the presence of connected devices that can handle PoE. When no
devices are detected, power is turned off for that port, protecting other devices connected
to the Ethernet cable, pr
eventing permanent damage and r
esulting network downtime.
The ORiNOCO Active Ethernet is part of the complete ORiNOCO product family of
infrastructure and client products - all you need to deliver wireless LAN functionality in
the Enterprise, Public Domain, Small Business or Home or Small Office.
POWER OVER ETHERNET FOR THE WIRELESS LAN
ORINOCO ACTIVE ETHERNET FEATURES
• Provides DC over Ethernet cable to ORiNOCO
and some Tsunami infrastructure products
(AP-2000, AP-600, AP-700, AP-4000 and
MP.11-non-ruggedized products only)
• Preventing power on if Ethernet is
incorrectly connected which protects
against installation err
ors
• Significant savings on installation costs
• Supports Automatic Load Sensing, with
power current limitation and voltage
protection, eliminating the risk of
damaging Ethernet cabling or
connected equipment

provides Power over Ethernet (PoE)
capabilities for the ORiNOCO pr
oduct
line of enterprise, outdoor and public
area wireless networking equipment,
including including ORiNOCO Access
Points and Tsunami MP.11 outdoor
