PLink Injector

The ENTTEC PLink Injector is engineered to work seamlessly with the Pixelator family, enabling long-distance data transmission and reliable control of LED pixel fixtures across large-scale installations.

Available in three voltage variants, the PLink Injector gives you the flexibility to match your system to virtually any professional pixel fixture: from low-voltage strips to high-voltage architectural lighting.

SKU: 73546 / 73544 / 73557

The smart way to extend and scale your pixel lighting system: now supporting 5V to 48V

Designed as part of the ENTTEC Pixelator ecosystem, the PLink Injector converts long-distance PLINK data into SPI output locally, allowing you to extend your installation up to 300m over standard Cat5e/Cat6 cabling without signal degradation.

Each injector then drives pixel fixtures up to 3m away, delivering precise, reliable performance exactly where it’s needed.

Simply choose the right PLink Injector for your project:

● 5V (SKU 73546): ideal for low-voltage RGB or RGBW pixel strip
● 12–24V (SKU 73544): suited to mid-voltage installations such as Neon Flex / Smart PXL40 dots / 12V pixel strip
● 12–48V (SKU 73557): NEW! supports high-voltage and 48V architectural fixtures like ENTTEC Smart PXL60 or 100×25 dots

With no voltage conversion required, power is passed directly through to your fixtures – simplifying wiring and reducing system complexity.

Note: PLink Injectors work exclusively with the Pixelator Mini family. They are not compatible with OCTO or DIN PIXIE controllers.

International compliance

The UL Listed Mark is a tier of UL approval for stand-alone consumables that have undergone rigorous testing by Underwriters Laboratories LLC. UL Listed means the product meets internationally recognised standards for sustainability and safety.

5V (73546) and 12–24V (73544) models are UL Class 2 Listed.

12–48V (73557) supports higher voltage applications (UL certification varies depending on installation requirements. Contact your regional ENTTEC office for more information.)

All PLink Injectors also conform to the following international compliance and safety standards:

  • UL Listed compliance mark
  • FCC compliance mark
  • UKCA compliance mark
  • CE compliance mark
  • RCM compliance mark

What is the PLink system?

Built for long-distance pixel control

Because SPI protocol degrades quickly, the Pixelator sends robust PLINK data over long distances, maintaining signal integrity across large installations.

Each PLink Injector converts this data locally into SPI, ensuring clean, accurate output to your LED fixtures.
