Applications

Outdoor CPE & routers

Weatherproof 12V/24V adapters feed customer-premises equipment on poles and building facades where AC is unavailable.

PoE midspan power

Compact adapters drive PoE injectors that deliver data and power over one cable to access points and cameras.

Small cell & DAS

Low-noise DC keeps radio units stable and reduces EMI into the RF path.

IoT gateways

Efficient adapters power edge gateways and sensors with low standby loss for always-on deployments.

CPE Adapter vs Desktop Adapter vs PoE Injector

All three deliver low-voltage DC, but they differ in where they mount and how they reach the device.

Form factorSealed, wall/pole mountDesktop brickInline or rack module
Typical output12V / 24V, 1A - 5A5V - 24V, 1A - 10A48V PoE (15W - 90W)

Use a CPE adapter for outdoor radio equipment, a desktop adapter for indoor gear, and a PoE injector when you want data and power on a single cable.

Frequently Asked Questions

12V or 24V for my CPE?

Match the device label. Most outdoor radios take 12V or 24V; 24V reduces line loss on long cable runs.

Do these adapters have surge protection?

Outdoor CPE adapters include surge and lightning protection on the DC side. Add an AC surge arrester at the source for exposed sites.

What efficiency should I look for?

Look for 85%+ and a low no-load draw. Efficient adapters run cooler and cut energy cost in always-on networks.

Can XGW customize the connector and voltage?

Yes. OEM/ODM starts at 500 units with custom barrel jacks, terminal blocks or DC jack and tuned output voltage.
