Cradlepoint TAA-170732-001 PoE Injector, 56 V with 1.8 m North America Line Cord

The Cradlepoint TAA-170732-001 PoE injector powers supported Cradlepoint devices over their Ethernet cable, eliminating the need for an outlet at the mounting location. Operating at 56 volts, the injector sits near existing power—an equipment closet, UPS, or power strip—and pushes both data and power up a single Ethernet run to the device. It ships with a 1.8-meter North America Type B line cord terminating in a C5 connector, and carries Trade Agreements Act compliance under its TAA part number. The named application is the CBA850 cellular broadband adapter, a failover device that performs best mounted high and near windows or exterior walls where cellular signal is strongest—precisely the places without convenient outlets. With this injector, the CBA850's placement is decided by signal survey, not electrical availability, and the single-cable run keeps the installation clean through ceilings and walls. The same logic applies to other supported PoE-powered Cradlepoint equipment; Cradlepoint's W-series and captive modem accessories commonly use PoE feeds for the identical reason. Centralizing power at the injector also improves resilience: plug the injector into a UPS and the remote device rides through outages with the rest of the network stack—essential for failover gear whose entire job is functioning when things go wrong. The injector is black, weighs about half a pound, and stocks easily as a spare. Verify your device's PoE input specification against the 56 V output before deployment.
