Inline Power Injector (PoE)

The OW-1000A is equipped with an Inline Power Injector module. The
Inline Power Injector (PoE) delivers both data and power to OW-1000A
unit via a signal Ethernet cable, and gives the following benefits to
improve the performance vs. installation cost ratio.
This works great in areas where you may not have power , like
house roof.
This also allows you to place the OW-1000A unit closer to the
antenna, to make installation easier more thus reducing signal
loss over antenna cabling.
Ethernet signal travels well over CAT 5 cable but 2.4GHz signal
doesn't do as well over antenna cabling.
Ethernet cabling is much cheaper than Antenna cabling.
