Bosch High PoE Midspan 60 W single port AC in for AUTODOME 7000 cameras and for MIC7000 - NPD-6001B

Bosch NPD-6001B High PoE Midspan 60W Single-Port Power Injector

Overview

The Bosch NPD-6001B is a single-port, 60W High PoE midspan injector engineered specifically to power the AUTODOME 7000 camera series and MIC7000 cameras configured without illuminators — two camera families that exceed the 30W ceiling of standard 802.3at PoE+. If your existing switch delivers only PoE or PoE+, this injector sits in-line on the Ethernet run and delivers the higher wattage these cameras demand, without requiring a switch upgrade. For integrators deploying Bosch Security cameras in demanding PTZ or dome applications, the NPD-6001B (often searched as NPD 6001B) is a targeted infrastructure fix rather than a general-purpose power solution.

Key Features

• 60W User Port Power Output: The AUTODOME 7000 and MIC7000 series draw more than a standard PoE+ switch can deliver. This unit's 60W port output covers those requirements directly — no separate power supply run needed at the camera end, preserving clean cable management in ceiling and conduit installations.
• 54–57 VDC Output Voltage: The elevated output voltage (54–57 VDC) reduces resistive losses over long cable runs compared to lower-voltage PoE implementations. On a 100m run, you're delivering more usable power at the camera end than a lower-voltage injector of equivalent rated wattage would provide.
• 100m Maximum Cable Length: Full 100m support means you can place the injector at the IDF or in a wiring closet and reach cameras at standard Ethernet distance limits. No need to shorten the run or add mid-span repeaters just to accommodate the higher power requirement.
• Universal 100–240 VAC Input at 1.5A: The wide-range AC input (100–240V, 50/60 Hz) means this unit installs without modification in North American or international deployments. Draw is capped at 1.5A, so a standard 15A branch circuit handles multiple units on the same breaker.
• 10/100/1000 Mbps Data Throughput: Gigabit data passthrough ensures the injector doesn't become a bottleneck. High-resolution AUTODOME 7000 streams — including multi-stream HD video — pass through at full network speed. You are not sacrificing bandwidth for power.
• Flexible Mounting — Wall, Shelf, Bench, or Desktop: No dedicated rack space or DIN rail required. The unit can be wall-mounted in a junction box area, placed on a network shelf, or set on a desktop in smaller deployments. This flexibility matters in retrofit installations where rack space is already committed.
• Operating Temperature Range –10°C to +40°C: Rated for operation down to –10°C, the unit handles unheated IDF closets and cold-climate mechanical rooms without issue. The +40°C ceiling accommodates warm telecom rooms but is not suitable for unsheltered outdoor enclosures — the camera itself handles the outdoor environment; this injector needs shelter.
• Operating Humidity Up to 90% RH, Non-Condensing: Suitable for humid utility spaces and parking structure equipment rooms where moisture levels run high, provided the environment doesn't cycle through dew point. Non-condensing is the operative limit — keep condensation away from the unit.

Integration and Compatibility

The NPD-6001B is designed as a purpose-built companion to the Bosch AUTODOME 7000 series and MIC7000 cameras without illuminators. It is not a universal High PoE injector for arbitrary cameras — if you are powering other high-wattage cameras from different manufacturers, verify their specific voltage and wattage requirements against this unit's 54–57 VDC / 60W output profile before deploying. Integration is straightforward: the injector connects inline between your existing PoE network switch and the camera's Ethernet run. No configuration, management interface, or software is required. The unit does not perform any data inspection or QoS shaping — it is a Layer 1 power injection device. For multi-camera PTZ deployments, plan one injector per camera port; this is a single-port device only. Consider a compatible NVR or VMS alongside this injector when commissioning the full AUTODOME 7000 recording infrastructure. Rack-based or multi-port PoE solutions should be evaluated separately via a PoE power supply comparison if you need to power multiple high-wattage cameras from a single unit.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will the NPD-6001B work with cameras other than the AUTODOME 7000 and MIC7000?

A: The NPD-6001B is specified for the Bosch AUTODOME 7000 series and MIC7000 cameras without illuminators. Other cameras requiring a 54–57 VDC / 60W High PoE supply may be compatible, but you should verify the target camera's exact voltage and wattage requirements against the unit's output spec before deploying outside of the specified Bosch camera families.

Q: Does the NPD-6001B require any configuration or management software?

A: No. The NPD-6001B is a passive inline power injector — it requires no configuration, has no management interface, and involves no software. Connect it between the switch port and the camera Ethernet run and it operates automatically.

Q: How many cameras can a single NPD-6001B power?

A: One. The NPD-6001B is a single-port device. Each AUTODOME 7000 or MIC7000 camera (without illuminator) requires its own dedicated injector.

Q: What is the maximum cable run supported?

A: The NPD-6001B supports cable runs up to 100 meters (approximately 328 feet), which is the standard Ethernet distance limit. No derating of cable length is required for the higher power delivery.

Q: Can the NPD-6001B be installed in an unheated outdoor enclosure?

A: Its operating temperature range is –10°C to +40°C. An unheated enclosure in moderate climates may be acceptable if ambient temperatures stay within that range, but the unit is not weather-rated for unsheltered outdoor exposure. The camera handles the outdoor environment — the injector needs a sheltered, enclosed mounting location.

Q: Does the NPD-6001B pass Gigabit Ethernet speeds?

A: Yes. The NPD-6001B supports 10/100/1000 Mbps data throughput, so Gigabit network speeds are fully preserved through the injector without any bandwidth penalty.

The NPD-6001B is a purpose-specific infrastructure component, not a general-purpose PoE injector — and that distinction matters when you're commissioning AUTODOME 7000 installations. The 60W output at 54–57 VDC is sized precisely for these high-wattage Bosch PTZ cameras that standard 802.3at (30W) switch ports simply cannot feed. I pull this unit into the BOM any time an existing PoE+ switch is already in the rack and a full switch replacement isn't justified for one or two high-power cameras.

Technical Highlights:

• 60W / 54–57 VDC Output: Covers the power envelope of AUTODOME 7000 and MIC7000 (without illuminator) precisely — the elevated voltage also limits current draw on the cable, reducing heat and voltage drop across a full 100m run.
• 1.5A AC Input Draw: At 1.5A max from the wall, you can place several of these on a shared 15A branch circuit in an IDF closet without load-balancing headaches. Factor this when planning multi-camera clusters.
• –10°C to +40°C Operating Range: Handles cold-climate telecom rooms and unheated closets down to –10°C, which covers most North American indoor secondary spaces. The +40°C ceiling is the constraint — verify ambient temperature if the closet is near HVAC exhaust or in a warm climate with poor ventilation.

Deployment Considerations:

• Wire the injector as close to the IDF switch as practical. Since it supports the full 100m Ethernet distance, placing it at the switch end maximizes the sheltered cable run and keeps the camera end clean — particularly useful in pendant-mount or ceiling-dome AUTODOME installations where cable management is visible.
• The 90% RH (non-condensing) humidity rating is adequate for most utility spaces, but watch deployments in covered parking structures or loading dock enclosures where temperature swings can push through the dew point. Non-condensing is a hard limit — condensation inside the unit will cause failure.

This injector earns its place in Bosch AUTODOME 7000 retrofit projects where the backbone switch is capable but PoE budget is insufficient for high-power PTZ cameras — particularly in hospitality lobbies, airport terminals, and large-format retail where AUTODOME 7000 PTZ coverage is the camera of record and a full switch swap is not in the project budget.
