HPE R7T40A Aruba 60W 802.3bt Outdoor PoE Injector
Overview
The HPE R7T40A is a high-power, outdoor-rated Power over Ethernet (PoE) midspan injector designed to reliably deliver power and data over a single network cable. It is engineered for deployments where AC power outlets are unavailable or impractical, providing a robust solution for connecting high-demand devices such as modern wireless access points, IP surveillance cameras, and other network endpoints in external environments. This unit’s core function is enabled by its full compliance with the IEEE 802.3bt standard, allowing it to supply up to 60 watts of power to a connected device. This capability is essential for supporting the advanced features of next-generation equipment that require more power than older PoE+ standards can provide. The injector also includes integrated surge protection, a critical feature that safeguards sensitive network equipment from electrical transients common in outdoor installations. As an external, plug-and-play device, the R7T40A is deployed “midspan” between a standard non-PoE network switch and the endpoint device. This form factor allows IT teams to add high-power PoE capabilities to an existing network link without needing to perform a costly and disruptive upgrade of the core network switch. Its design is optimized for simplicity and reliability in the field, ensuring stable power delivery for critical infrastructure.
