What is the HX-PG30 used for?

The HX-PG30 adds power to a single cable run from the power side, the usual fix when the existing switch is a plain non-PoE unit. In a typical IP camera installation it is the part that decides how many devices can be powered, how much headroom is left for future cameras, and whether a long cable run still needs a relay point.

As built: 10/100/1000Mbps forwarding.

How much power does it inject?

This unit feeds power into one run: it applies IEEE802.3af/at, over 10/100/1000Mbps.

Injectors are the pragmatic answer when the installed switch has no PoE: the data path stays on the existing switch, and only the powered run changes. The constraint is one injector per port — past about four injectors, a PoE switch usually costs less to install and leaves fewer failure points.

There is a second reason to prefer them on retrofit work: the injector sits outside the switch, so adding a powered run does not mean touching a configured, in-service switch or finding a maintenance window for it.

Injector, mid-span or a new PoE switch — which one?

The three options solve the same problem at different points in the cable plant. The table is the decision, in one screen.

OptionWhat changes on siteBest when
This injectorOne cable run gets a power source; switch untouchedOne to four powered runs, existing switch stays in service
Mid-span injector panelSeveral runs powered from one chassisA floor of cameras is being added but the switch has no PoE
PoE switchThe whole edge is replacedNew installation, or the port count is growing anyway

How far can the link run?

Structured cabling limits a copper channel to 100 m between active devices. Switches and injectors terminate one segment; extenders exist to start a new one, so a run built from three segments can reach roughly 300 m — but every extra hop also re-supplies power from the same original budget.

How do I choose between the models in this range?

The siblings in this family differ on a small number of axes. Compare the powered port count first, then the budget, then the uplink — a model with SFP uplinks only pays off when the run back to the core is fibre.

What should I confirm before ordering?

Five checks catch most of the mismatches we see on purchase orders for this family:

  • Port count against the camera count, with at least two spare ports — the listed powered ports here are the hard ceiling.
  • Budget against the sum of device labels at their peak, not their average.
  • Uplink: copper is fine inside a building; SFP matters when the run back to the core is longer than 100 m — see the Uplink Ports row above.
  • PoE class of the cameras versus the PSE class (AT here) — a mismatch only shows up at the powered device.
  • Mechanical: see the size row above, and whether the enclosure is going on a wall, a DIN rail or a pole.

FAQ

Is HX-PG30 compatible with cameras of a different PoE class?

A AT PSE negotiates down: it will run af or at devices happily. The reverse is the problem — a AT powered device asked to run from a lower class PSE either refuses to power up or browns out under IR load. The PSE class sets the ceiling; the device class sets the demand.

Does an injector reduce the link speed?

No — the data path is passive at the physical layer. A gigabit injector passes gigabit; a 10/100 unit caps the run at 100 Mbps because the magnetics are rated for it. Check the speed row: 10/100/1000Mbps here. Mixing a 100 Mbps injector into a gigabit backbone is the most common silent downgrade we see.

Active or passive injection — what is the difference?

Active (802.3af/at/bt) injection negotiates with the powered device before applying full voltage, so a non-PoE device is never damaged. Passive injection applies a fixed voltage immediately and relies on the installer to wire the right pins — it is why passive 24 V and 48 V systems must never be mixed.

What supply does it need?

Input is AC100-240V 50/60Hz. That is the unit's own supply, separate from the PoE it hands out on the ports; budget the circuit for the full rated load rather than the typical one.

Where can I see the full specification?

Every figure in the specification table above comes from the current production data for this model. If a figure matters for a tender, ask for the current datasheet before quoting — printed documents and production revisions drift apart.
