Cradlepoint TAA-BEA1-1855-5GC-GN 2.5G Managed PoE Injector
Overview
The Cradlepoint TAA-BEA1-1855-5GC-GN is a managed PoE injector rated for 2.5G data and power delivery. This unit solves the practical problem of powering remote 5G branch adapters over standard Ethernet runs without deploying separate power infrastructure. TAA compliance means it clears federal and Buy American Act procurement gates — a hard requirement for government, state, and institutional buyers. The device integrates with Cradlepoint's NetCloud management platform, allowing remote configuration and monitoring across geographically distributed sites from a single console.
Compatibility
Designed for the Cradlepoint W1855-5GC 5G Wideband Adapter and compatible with standard PoE-enabled network deployments. Works within SD-WAN architectures where managed power delivery and cloud orchestration are required. The injector supports NetCloud Branch 5G Adapter Essentials and Advanced plan tiers, enabling cloud management, analytics, zero-touch provisioning, and security features across your branch network.
Installation Notes
Deploy inline between your switch and the target 5G adapter. The 2.5G speed rating matches modern multi-gig switch ports — verify your upstream switch supports 2.5G or higher to avoid bottlenecking. Cloud-managed provisioning through NetCloud means zero-touch onboarding if you've already enrolled your adapter in the management platform. No local configuration required once the device is powered and networked.
