Product Overview

The Lightware TPS-PI-1P1 is a single-port, standalone TPS (Twisted Pair Signal) power injector designed to deliver remote powering to Lightware TPS receivers over a single Cat cable. It eliminates the need to run a separate power circuit to remote display locations, supporting structured cable AV deployments in boardrooms, classrooms, and multi-room installations. Available from Creation Networks at .

Product Description

In Lightware TPS systems, HDBaseT or proprietary TPS signals travel over Cat5e/6 structured cabling to remote receivers. The TPS-PI-1P1 injects DC power into that same cable run, powering the remote device without a local power outlet at the endpoint. This is the single-port variant: one Cat input from the TPS transmitter or switcher, one Cat output toward the receiver, with inline power injection happening transparently.

The unit is standalone it sits outside the rack on a desk or mounts near a cable tray junction and requires only mains power at its location. Its compact form factor makes it practical for under-table or above-ceiling placement at cable termination points.

Key Features

• Single-port TPS power injection over Cat5e/6 structured cabling
• Standalone form factor no rack required
• Transparent inline operation no signal processing or latency
• Powers remote Lightware TPS receivers over the same cable as the AV signal
• Eliminates need for local power at remote display locations
• Compatible with Lightware TPS transmitters and matrix switchers

Typical Applications

• Boardrooms: powering a TPS receiver at a display wall from a rack-mounted switcher
• Classroom AV: remote powering of wall-plate receivers without outlet access above ceiling
• Hospitality: in-room TPS endpoints powered from a corridor or riser cabinet
• Museum and retail digital signage: powering display-side receivers at kiosk locations
• Corporate campus: structured cabling AV deployments with centralized sources

Frequently Asked Questions

What TPS receivers is this compatible with?The TPS-PI-1P1 is designed for use within the Lightware TPS ecosystem. It is compatible with Lightware TPS receivers and systems that support remote powering over Cat cable.Can this power injector be used with standard HDBaseT devices from other brands?The TPS-PI-1P1 is optimized for Lightware TPS infrastructure. Compatibility with third-party HDBaseT devices is not guaranteed and should be confirmed with Lightware technical support before deployment.Does the power injector affect signal quality or introduce latency?No. The TPS-PI-1P1 is fully transparent. It injects power onto the cable without processing the AV signal, adding no latency or signal degradation.Does it require rack mounting?No. The TPS-PI-1P1 is a standalone unit. It can be placed on a desk, mounted under a table, or secured in a ceiling void near the cable termination point.What cable category is required?Cat5e or Cat6 structured cabling. Shielded cabling (STP/FTP) is recommended in electrically noisy environments.Is this the same as a PoE injector?No. This is a TPS power injector specific to the Lightware signaling protocol. It is not a standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE injector and should not be used as a substitute for standard PoE applications.
