About This Device
The 170732-004 completes the regional spread of Cradlepoint's single-port PoE injector family for the southern hemisphere: the same 56 V injector platform, packaged with a 1.8 m Australia Type I line cord terminating in a C13 appliance connector. Australian and New Zealand sites deploy straight from the box, with no local cord sourcing and no travel-adapter improvisation.
Functionally the injector does what its siblings do. It sits at the powered end of an Ethernet run — closet, cabinet or desk — and combines AC-derived PoE power with network data onto the single cable that reaches the endpoint. The endpoint mounts where it works best: a cellular failover adapter high on a wall where signal is strongest, or an access point centered in the coverage area. The 170732 family is cataloged as 802.3af-class (15.4 W) for Cradlepoint's compact endpoints such as the CBA550 and CBA850 adapters and the AP22 access point.
For organizations running standardized kit lists across regions, the suffix system keeps things simple: -001 North America, -002 EU, -003 UK, -004 Australia. Same injector, same endpoint compatibility, locally correct plug — one line on the BOM changes per destination.
Genuine Cradlepoint (Ericsson Enterprise Wireless) accessory, MPN 170732-004. As with all af-class injectors, higher-power devices like the W-series wideband adapters require the 90 W injector (170827-000) instead.
