Altronix is what working security integrators specify when the power layer of a deployment needs to be predictable for a decade. Founded in Brooklyn in 1983, still US-manufactured, the catalog spans PoE midspans with integrated surge, hot-swap rack power, fire-rated supplies for life-safety integration, and the inline TVS suppressors that prevent the cascade failures rule -7's surge-protection writeup describes. The hardware is over-engineered in the way infrastructure should be: heavier transformers than the spec demands, longer warranty than the segment median, and field-replaceable parts that arrive next-day. Altronix is rarely the cheapest line item on the BOM. It's the line item that doesn't generate a callback at year five.

\"NetWay

NetWay outdoor PoE midspans

The NetWay and NetWaySP series deliver 802.3at and 802.3bt PoE up to 90W per port with integrated multi-stage surge protection on the data and power lines. For long outdoor cable runs in flash-density regions, this is the upstream protection that converts \"every storm season we lose cameras\" into a sacrificial $50 inline suppressor at the camera enclosure.

\"TKIT

TKIT inline surge suppressors

The TKIT series is the inline TVS+GDT surge clamp that sits between the cable entry and the switch port. Three-stage protection: GDT primary (10kV+ clamp), MOV secondary (1kV), TVS tertiary (50V). One per outdoor PoE camera at the IDF entry. The TVS is the part that fails sacrificially during a strike so the switch port doesn't.

\"eFlow

eFlow + Maximal rack power

The eFlow and Maximal series ship 1U rack-mount power with hot-swap supplies, network monitoring via SNMP, and the input-conditioning transformer for sites where the building's mains are not clean. Common deployment: pair an eFlow rack supply with the NetWay midspan to deliver clean, monitored PoE+ across 16 to 24 outdoor cameras.

\"Altronix

Fire-rated and NFPA 72 supplies

The Mercury and Pinnacle lines are UL-listed fire-rated power supplies, sized for emergency exit hardware, magnetic locks on fire-doors, and the supervision wiring that NFPA 72 Chapter 24 requires. The supervised output design means a fault in the load wiring annunciates at the central station \u2014 which is the audit trail compliance inspectors look for after an incident.

\"Battery

Battery backup sized for NFPA 72

The battery backup enclosures pair with the power supplies to deliver 24 hours of standby plus the active comm time the AHJ specifies. Sealed lead-acid is the default; lithium-iron-phosphate options exist for environments where off-gassing is a concern. The supervision circuit reports low-battery state to the head-end before the threshold becomes operational risk.
