Bosch HIGH POWER 95 W SINGLE PORT PoE MIDSPAN - NPD-9501A

Bosch NPD-9501A 95W Single-Port PoE Midspan Injector

Overview

The Bosch NPD-9501A is a single-port Power over Ethernet midspan injector rated at 95 W — purpose-built to deliver sustained high-wattage PoE to power-hungry IP devices that standard 802.3at switches can't fully satisfy. Where a typical PoE+ switch port caps out around 25–30 W per port, the NPD-9501A pushes up to 95 W through a single shielded RJ-45 connection, making it the right tool when you're deploying PTZ cameras with integrated heaters, high-draw pan-tilt units, or other IP devices that demand more headroom than a managed switch port can provide. The NPD-9501A (often searched as NPD 9501A) supports both IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at standards, so it negotiates correctly with compliant devices without manual configuration. Universal 100–240 VAC input means you're not re-speccing the power path when deploying internationally or in facilities with legacy electrical infrastructure. Explore the full Bosch surveillance line to pair this midspan with compatible cameras and video management systems.

Key Features

• 95 W PoE Output: Delivers up to 95 W on a single port — significantly above the 30 W ceiling of 802.3at. If you're powering a PTZ with an integrated defroster or a high-draw multi-sensor camera, this is the spec that keeps those devices from throttling or dropping offline during cold-weather power spikes.
• IEEE 802.3af / 802.3at Dual-Standard Compliance: Negotiates correctly with both Class 0–3 (af) and Class 4 (at) devices. You don't need to manually configure power class — the injector and the connected device handle the handshake, reducing commissioning errors on multi-device rollouts.
• 54–57 VDC Output Voltage: Operating in the upper range of the PoE voltage window minimizes resistive losses over long cable runs. At 100 m — the maximum supported cable length — higher rail voltage means the device at the far end still receives adequate power without voltage droop degrading performance.
• 100 m Maximum Cable Distance: Full IEEE 802.3 Ethernet reach is maintained, so you're not sacrificing distance coverage to gain wattage. Standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling to the device is sufficient — no supplementary power cabling required at the endpoint.
• 10/100/1000 Mbps Data Pass-Through: Gigabit-transparent data path means the midspan doesn't become a bandwidth bottleneck when inserted between a Gigabit switch and a high-bitrate camera or device. Data integrity is maintained; the injector adds power without constraining throughput.
• Universal 100–240 VAC Input, 50/60 Hz: A single SKU covers North American and European electrical standards. At 1.8 A input current draw, the NPD-9501A fits on a standard 15 A branch circuit alongside other equipment without dedicated circuit planning for most single-injector installations.
• Flexible Mounting — Wall, Shelf, Bench, Desktop: The compact 87.9 mm × 43 mm × 166 mm footprint installs in IDF closets, on equipment shelves, or on a bench without requiring rack ears or dedicated panel space. Weight is 400 g, so surface loads are negligible.
• –10 °C to +40 °C Operating Range: Covers typical indoor mechanical room and IDF closet environments. Storage down to –20 °C means the unit survives unheated warehouse staging without damage before installation.
• FCC Part 15 / CE / EN 55032 Class B EMC: Class B emissions compliance means the injector is qualified for office and light commercial environments, not just industrial spaces. Reduced interference from the power conversion stage protects co-located sensitive equipment.
• UL/cUL Listed, GS Mark (EN 60950-1): Safety certifications support AHJ approval in both US and Canadian jurisdictions, and the GS Mark covers EU deployments — one unit clears the most common certification requirements without sourcing region-specific variants.
• RoHS and WEEE Compliant: Meets EU hazardous-substance and end-of-life directives. Relevant for enterprise procurement policies requiring environmental compliance documentation, and for disposal planning in regulated industries.

Integration & Compatibility

The NPD-9501A inserts inline between any existing Ethernet switch and a PoE-capable endpoint — no changes to switch configuration required, and no managed switch features are lost. It is compatible with any IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant device. For PoE switches already at their per-port power budget limit, this midspan offloads the power delivery burden while keeping data flowing through the existing switch fabric. Shielded RJ-45 connectors on both the data-in and powered-device ports maintain signal integrity in environments with elevated EMI, such as manufacturing floors or loading docks adjacent to motor-driven equipment. If you're sizing power infrastructure for a multi-camera deployment, review our PoE planning guide to match injector wattage to device class before finalizing your design. The NPD-9501A pairs naturally with PTZ cameras and other high-draw IP endpoints in the Bosch product family that exceed the output capacity of standard switch ports.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What PoE standards does the NPD-9501A support?

A: The NPD-9501A supports IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at. It negotiates power class automatically with compliant devices — no manual configuration is needed at the injector.

Q: Can I use the NPD-9501A with my existing non-PoE switch?

A: Yes. The NPD-9501A is a midspan injector — it inserts inline between your existing switch and the powered device. Your switch does not need PoE capability; the injector adds power to the data line independently.

Q: What is the maximum cable length supported?

A: 100 meters, consistent with IEEE 802.3 Ethernet specifications. Standard Cat5e or Cat6 cabling is sufficient over this distance.

Q: Will the NPD-9501A work on European electrical supply?

A: Yes. The unit accepts 100–240 VAC at 50 or 60 Hz, covering both North American and European supply voltages without an external adapter or transformer.

Q: What are the safety and EMC certifications for the NPD-9501A?

A: The NPD-9501A carries UL/cUL listing and GS Mark (EN 60950-1) for product safety, and meets FCC Part 15, ICES-003, CE, EN 55032 Class B, EN 55024, and VCCI for electromagnetic compatibility. It is also RoHS and WEEE compliant.

Q: What mounting options are available for the NPD-9501A?

A: The unit supports wall, shelf, bench, and desktop mounting. Its compact dimensions (87.9 mm × 43 mm × 166 mm) and 400 g weight make it practical for IDF closets and equipment rooms without dedicated rack space.
