PLINK INJECTOR

The ENTTEC PLink Injector is a compact PLink-to-SPI pixel data injector designed for use with the Pixelator Mini family, enabling long-distance pixel data transmission up to 300 metres over Cat5e/Cat6 cabling with zero configuration required.

From the Manufacturer

The PLink Injector is the essential link between an ENTTEC Pixelator controller and the LED pixel fixtures in a PLink system. Because SPI protocol degrades quickly over distance, the Pixelator sends robust PLink data over Cat5e/Cat6 cabling — maintaining signal integrity up to 300 metres from the controller. Each PLink Injector receives that data and converts it locally into SPI output, delivering clean, accurate signals to pixel strips, dots, and custom fixtures located up to 3 metres from the injector. Power passes directly through to the fixtures with no voltage conversion, simplifying wiring and reducing system complexity.

PLink Injectors are available in three voltage variants to match your pixel fixture requirements. The 5V model suits low-voltage RGB and RGBW pixel strips. The 12–24V model covers mid-voltage installations including Neon Flex, Smart PXL40 dots, and 12V pixel strip. The 12-48V model supports high-voltage and 48V architectural fixtures like the Smart PXL60 or 100x25 dots. 

All variants feature high-power screw terminal connectors for fast, secure wiring and a compact, lightweight design for easy concealment. Auto-addressing means no configuration is required — simply connect and go. Note: PLink Injectors are compatible exclusively with the Pixelator Mini family and are not compatible with OCTO or DIN PIXIE controllers.
