Where to Buy Altronix Power & Transmission

Why power and transmission hardware belongs in your compliance review

Most NDAA and TAA conversations start and end at the camera. That's a mistake. A camera is only as compliant — and only as reliable — as the power supply feeding it, the PoE midspan pushing bandwidth down the run, and the transmission gear moving signal across copper, fiber, or coax. On a federal, SLED, or healthcare project, every line item on the bill of materials can end up in front of a contracting officer or an IG, not just the recorder and the lens.

Altronix has built its reputation in this space: power supplies and chargers, PoE and PoE+ midspans and injectors, access control power controllers, and copper-to-fiber and UTP-to-coax transmission products. It's US-based manufacturing, a cleaner starting point on country-of-origin questions than most of the camera and NVR market — but that is a starting point, not a substitute for verifying the specific part number on your purchase order.

What Altronix actually covers in a security system

If you've specified access control, video, or intercom on a federal or commercial project, you've likely spec'd Altronix without naming it as a compliance line item. Its catalog runs across a few core categories:

• Power supplies and chargers — linear and switching supplies for access control panels, door hardware, and alarm circuits, including battery-backed units for continuity during outages.
• PoE and PoE+ midspans and injectors — the gear that runs power and data over a single cable to cameras, access readers, and intercoms without a local power drop at every device.
• Access control power controllers — combined power and output modules that integrate with door controllers, electric strikes, and maglocks, often with fire alarm interface and lock-down built in.
• Transmission products — media converters and extenders (including the eBridge line) that move video and data over longer runs than standard copper allows, or repurpose existing coax and UTP during a retrofit.

On a rip-and-replace project — swapping a banned camera brand for a compliant one — the power and transmission layer is often left in place because "it's just a power supply." That's where an audit can catch a project short if nobody documented what's installed.

Verifying compliance per SKU, not per brand

Two separate questions apply to any hardware on a federal bill of materials, and they don't collapse into one answer just because a brand is US-based.

NDAA Section 889 (FAR 52.204-25) targets covered entities and covered components — Hikvision, Dahua, Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, and their OEM relationships — and applies most directly to video surveillance and telecommunications equipment. Power and transmission hardware generally sit outside the direct 889 prohibition, but when a project is reviewed holistically, contracting officers and auditors increasingly expect the full bill of materials — power, transmission, mounts, everything — to be accounted for, not just the camera line.

TAA (Trade Agreements Act, 19 U.S.C. 2501) is a country-of-origin rule that applies more broadly, and it's the one that matters most for power and transmission gear on many federal contracts: the product must be made or substantially transformed in the US or a TAA-designated country. Manufacturing location can vary by product line, and even by model within a catalog, so the correct answer is tied to the exact part number — not inferred from "the brand is American."

The practical rule we apply: confirm country-of-origin and compliance documentation per SKU, at time of order, and keep it on file. A brand's reputation is a reasonable starting assumption — not a substitute for the paperwork.

How sourcing works — direct through Uniqcli

Uniqcli Security is a TAA and NDAA Section 889-compliant physical-security integrator, and we sell direct. We hold no GSA Schedule, SEWP, or other cooperative contract today — a GSA Multiple Award Schedule application is in progress, but we are not yet a Schedule holder. Federal, SLED, and commercial buyers work with us today through:

• Government Purchase Card (GPC) for smaller buys under the micro-purchase threshold.
• Simplified Acquisition (FAR Part 13) for mid-size purchases.
• Open-market FAR purchase orders for larger procurements, with WAWF/PIEE invoicing for DoD.

We design the power and transmission layer as part of the full system, not an afterthought bolted onto a camera order: right-sizing PoE budgets for camera counts and cable runs, specifying battery-backed power where continuity matters, and matching transmission gear to your actual site conditions. We verify and document compliance per SKU across the whole bill of materials, install and integrate the system, and stand behind the paperwork if an auditor asks later.

If you're specifying or replacing power supplies, PoE midspans, or transmission hardware, request a quote from Uniqcli and we'll build the full bill of materials — documented, sourced direct, and ready for your contracting file.
