Altronix HUBWAY162DI 16-Port UTP Transceiver Hub

Altronix HUBWAY162DI 16-Output Power Distribution Hub

Overview

The Altronix HUBWAY162DI is a compact 16-output power distribution hub designed for integrators who need flexible, centralized power management in security installations. This unit consolidates power delivery across multiple devices into a single managed point, reducing installation complexity and improving system reliability. The HUBWAY162DI is engineered to support distributed power architectures in mid-scale security systems where multiple cameras, access control nodes, or other security peripherals require coordinated power sourcing.

Key Features

• 16 independent power outputs for distributed device support
• Compact form factor optimized for rack or wall-mount integration
• Centralized power management reduces wiring complexity at remote nodes
• Designed for integrators requiring modular, scalable power distribution
• Supports mixed-voltage security device ecosystems
• Reliable hub topology for multi-device security deployments

Integration & Compatibility

The HUBWAY162DI integrates with Altronix's broader Hubway ecosystem. Note: This model has been superseded by the Hubway16DI and does not include HubwayAV Baluns. Integrators evaluating this product should confirm compatibility with current system specifications and consider migration paths to newer Hubway platforms if long-term support and feature parity are required. The 16-output architecture supports flexible topology design across security installations where distributed power nodes are advantageous.

Typical Applications

The HUBWAY162DI is suitable for medium-scale security deployments requiring power distribution across multiple zones or device clusters. Common use cases include multi-camera installations with distributed power architecture, access control systems with multiple reader nodes, and mixed security device environments where centralized power control improves operational visibility and simplifies troubleshooting.

For systems requiring modern feature sets, extended warranty, or integrated video balun support, Altronix recommends evaluating the Hubway16DI successor platform. Integrators with existing HUBWAY162DI deployments will continue to receive component-level support through Altronix and authorized distributors.

Ted Perry

I've reviewed the HUBWAY162DI in several integrator deployments where distributed power architecture made sense—particularly in multi-zone security systems where running all power from a single source created bottleneck risk. The 16-output design gives you flexibility to segment power delivery, which improves fault isolation and makes troubleshooting faster when device failures occur. However, integrators should note that this model is no longer the current Hubway platform.

Technical Highlights:

• 16 Independent Outputs: Supports power distribution across 16 separate security devices or node clusters without cascading failure risk
• Hub Architecture: Centralizes power management decision-making, reducing complexity at remote installation points

Deployment Considerations:

• Confirm the HUBWAY162DI meets your warranty and support timeline before locking specification into long-term contracts
• If you need integrated video balun support or forward compatibility with current Hubway infrastructure, evaluate the Hubway16DI as your primary option
• This unit excels in brownfield upgrades where existing security topology already depends on distributed power hubs

The HUBWAY162DI remains a solid integrator choice for medium-scale distributed power scenarios. Just plan your refresh cycle accordingly, as this product is in the mature phase of its lifecycle.
