Vivotek AP-GIC-011B-090 95W PoE Midspan

Vivotek AP-GIC-011B-090 95W PoE Midspan

The Vivotek AP-GIC-011B-090 is a high-performance indoor PoE midspan designed to deliver up to 90W of power per port to demanding network devices in IP surveillance and security installations. This midspan bridges the gap between standard PoE infrastructure and power-hungry devices like PTZ cameras, multi-sensor systems, and advanced communication equipment that require higher power budgets than traditional PoE+ solutions can provide.

Key Features

• 90W Maximum Power Output per Port – Delivers sufficient power for high-end PTZ cameras and multi-function devices
• Gigabit Ethernet Support – Full 10/100/1000Mbps data transmission for HD video streaming and real-time applications
• IEEE 802.3af/at/bt Compliance – Industry-standard PoE protocols ensure broad device compatibility
• Automatic PoE Device Detection – Intelligently identifies and powers compatible devices without manual configuration
• Multiple Protection Systems – Over-current protection, circuit shorting protection, and ESD safeguards prevent equipment damage
• Compact Indoor Design – Minimal footprint (196.3 x 80 x 39.8 mm) integrates seamlessly into control rooms and equipment racks
• Dual Power Pin Configuration – Supports standard pins 3,6/4,5 (+) and 1,2/7,8 (-) for flexible installation

Technical Specifications

• Power Output: 56VDC at 1.61A maximum (90W total budget)
• Input: 90–264VAC, 50–60Hz (universal voltage)
• Ports: 1x Gigabit Ethernet input, 1x Gigabit Ethernet output (RJ45)
• Operating Temperature: -10°C to 40°C at 90W output
• Storage Temperature: -25°C to 65°C

Applications

Ideal for upgrading existing PoE infrastructure to support high-power devices without rewiring entire facilities. Commonly deployed in:

• IP surveillance systems with PTZ and multi-sensor cameras
• Enterprise security and access control networks
• Outdoor and semi-outdoor installations requiring extended power reach
• Facilities management and building automation systems

Perspective based on aggregated IP Security Depot and affiliated engineering team experience.

The AP-GIC-011B-090 serves a critical role in security infrastructure where standard PoE or PoE+ falls short. At 90W per port, it bridges legacy non-PoE devices and modern high-draw endpoints over Ethernet, eliminating the need for separate power infrastructure. The automatic PD detection prevents power delivery to incompatible devices, reducing risk of failures.

Over-current and circuit protection ensure the midspan itself remains stable under fault conditions. With 200k hours MTBF and multi-standard certification (CE, CB, FCC, VCCI), this device is built for continuous 24/7 security operations. The compact form factor and standard RJ45 connectivity make it a non-invasive retrofit for existing networks, particularly valuable in retrofit projects where drilling for power lines is impractical.
