A power tap allows the use of existing light pole infrastructure to power auxiliary equipment like wireless access points, CCTV cameras, sensors, routers, gateways etc. It taps into the power supply of a streetlight by connecting between the photocontrol and locking type receptacle of the luminaire.
Power Tap with Photocell mounted on a Streetlight
In addition to giving out clean power for auxiliary devices, our power taps allow the retention of different photocontrol operations. The taps can be categorised as:
- 3-pin taps (allow for the on/ off operation of the photocontrol)
- 5-pin taps (allow for on/off with two added contacts for dimming control)
- 7-pin taps (allow for on/off with four added contacts for dimming control)
Typical Connection for a 7 Pin Control Power Tap
Note: The power tap and photocell/ photocontrol are sold separately.
We offer different power taps to convert the street light power into different output voltages based on the auxiliary equipment needs. For example, we provide taps to:
- convert the 120V AC input to PoE (IEEE 802.3af/ 802.3at) output, terminated using an RJ45 connector;
- convert 120/ 240 VAC to 12/ 24/ 48 VDC output;
- step down any AC voltage up to 480 VAC to standard 120 VAC output;
- provide a constant AC output same as the AC input
These power taps are also available with different cable lengths and terminations as per user requirements.
