HPE R6P68A Aruba AP-POE-AFGE 1-Port GbE midspan PoE injector 15.4 Watt

HPE R6P68A – 1‑Port Gigabit Midspan PoE Injector (15.4 W)

Overview

The HPE R6P68A is a single‑port Gigabit midspan injector designed to supply both data and power over one Ethernet connection to a compatible device such as a wireless access point. It solves the problem of powering an access point in locations where the switch does not provide PoE, or running a separate power feed would be impractical (e.g., ceiling mounts, retrofit installations). With support for the IEEE 802.3af standard and a maximum output of 15.4 W, it is suitable for lower‑power enterprise devices. Typical deployment scenario: you have a legacy switch without PoE in a branch office or meeting room, you install the R6P68A between the switch and the AP, and you now deliver full Gigabit data plus reliable power without changing the core switch. It is managed as a plug‑and‑play accessory (no management interface) and fits into campus infrastructure for supplementary power injection.

Key Features

• Supplies 15.4 W PoE power compliant with IEEE 802.3af — sufficient for many access points and IP devices.

• Single‑port Gigabit data (10/100/1000 Mbps) ensuring full throughput for the connected device.

• Midspan form factor lets you add PoE where the existing switch lacks it — ideal for ceiling/room installs without new AC outlets.

• Compatible with a wide range of HPE/Aruba access points and other 802.3af devices — simplifies retrofit upgrades.

• Compact design, low‑profile installation; minimal footprint in wiring closets or ceiling voids.
