Hikvision 60W PoE LAS60-57CN-RJ45 Single Port Midspan Injector with Gigabit Ethernet, 56VDC Output, Surge Protection

Model: LAS60-57CN-RJ45

Who This Is For

Property managers and installers who need to power a single high-draw PoE device without replacing an entire switch will find the Hikvision LAS60-57CN-RJ45 a straightforward solution. It is designed for scenarios where one camera, PTZ, or access point requires more power than a standard PoE port provides - such as adding a single 60W PTZ to an existing non-PoE or standard PoE switch, or powering a high-wattage device at the end of a long cable run. The LAS60-57CN-RJ45 delivers 56VDC over a single Gigabit Ethernet port with built-in surge protection, making it suited to outdoor-adjacent installs where transient voltage events are a genuine risk. It keeps Gigabit data throughput intact while injecting up to 60W of power, so there is no trade-off between bandwidth and device capability.

What This Actually Does

Who Buys This Model

• CCTV installers adding a PTZ to an existing system: A site already has a standard PoE switch but needs one PTZ camera that draws above 30W - the LAS60-57CN-RJ45 avoids a full switch upgrade.
• Facilities managers with non-PoE switches: Where the installed switch cannot be replaced, a single midspan injector provides PoE power to one critical device without touching the rest of the network infrastructure.
• Installers dealing with long cable runs: The 56VDC output helps maintain adequate voltage at the device end of extended Cat6 runs where a lower-voltage standard PoE source would result in power drop-off.
• Outdoor surveillance deployments: The built-in surge protection makes this injector suitable for installs where the cabling path is exposed to outdoor conditions or where the site has a history of voltage transients.

Honest Assessment

The LAS60-57CN-RJ45 does one job well: it adds high-power PoE to a single port without requiring a switch replacement. The 60W output and 56VDC supply handle devices that standard PoE and PoE+ ports simply cannot power, and the Gigabit throughput means there is no compromise on data bandwidth. The surge protection adds a layer of hardware safety that many basic injectors omit. What it will not do is scale across multiple devices - if you need to power 4, 8, or more high-draw cameras, a dedicated PoE+ or PoE++ switch is the more practical and cost-effective path. It is also a purely passive power solution with no management interface, so there is no remote port monitoring, power cycling, or VLAN configuration available. Available through Security Australia, the LAS60-57CN-RJ45 is best suited to single-device additions or targeted upgrades rather than whole-system deployments.

Before You Buy

Quick Fit Check

• Good match if: You need to power a single PTZ or high-wattage camera that exceeds your existing switch's per-port PoE budget, and replacing the switch is not practical or cost-justified.
• Good match if: Your install location is exposed to voltage transients or lightning risk and you want hardware-level surge protection between the switch and the outdoor device.
• You may need a different model if: You need to power multiple high-draw devices - a managed PoE++ switch will be more cost-effective and give you per-port monitoring and control that a single-port midspan injector cannot provide.

Real-World Scenarios

How It Compares

• Choose this if: You need to power exactly 1 high-draw PoE device and replacing or upgrading your switch is not practical - the single-port midspan approach is the lowest-cost and least-disruptive solution.
• You may need a different model if: You need to power 4 or more high-wattage devices - a dedicated PoE++ managed switch will handle multiple ports, provide per-port power monitoring, and deliver better value per port at scale.
• Pairs well with: High-power PTZ cameras, PoE-powered access control panels, or outdoor wireless access points that exceed standard 802.3at power budgets.

Common Questions

1. Will this injector work with my existing non-PoE switch?

   Yes. As a midspan injector, the LAS60-57CN-RJ45 sits between your existing switch and the powered device - the switch itself does not need to support PoE. The injector draws standard AC power and adds the 56VDC PoE supply to the data line passing through from the switch port.

2. Does the 60W output support IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) devices?

   Yes. The 60W / 56VDC output aligns with the IEEE 802.3bt Type 3 standard, which covers devices drawing up to 60W at the power sourcing equipment. Devices negotiating at lower wattage (802.3af or 802.3at) are also supported - the injector supplies only what the connected device requests through the PoE handshake.

3. Will the Gigabit pass-through affect my camera stream quality?

   No. The LAS60-57CN-RJ45 passes data at full Gigabit (1000Mbps) speeds, so high-resolution video streams are not throttled by the injector. The data path is transparent - the injector adds power to the cable without interrupting or slowing the network signal between your switch and the camera.

4. Does this work for outdoor camera installations with lightning risk?

   Yes, the built-in surge protection makes it more suitable for outdoor-adjacent installs than a basic injector without protection. The surge protection is designed to absorb transient voltage events on the cable, reducing the risk of damage to both the powered device and the upstream switch. For direct outdoor exposure, additional external surge arrestors on the cable entry point may still be advisable depending on the site's risk profile.

5. What cable type and maximum run length should I use with this injector?

   Cat5e is the minimum; Cat6 is recommended for runs beyond 50 metres or for devices drawing close to the 60W maximum. The standard Ethernet limit of 100 metres applies. The 56VDC output helps offset voltage drop on longer runs compared to standard 48V PoE sources, but cable quality and gauge still affect delivered power at the far end.

6. Is this injector manageable - can I power-cycle the port remotely?

   No. The LAS60-57CN-RJ45 is an unmanaged midspan injector with no network management interface, web interface, or remote power-cycling capability. If remote port management or power scheduling is required, a managed PoE switch is the appropriate product type. The injector is a passive power-delivery device only. The LAS60-57CN-RJ45 is stocked by Security Australia for straightforward single-port power upgrade applications.
