Honeywell Commercial Security MPA1C1 Single Door Poe Controller

Product Description

The Honeywell Commercial Security MPA1C1 is a single-door Power over Ethernet access control unit designed to manage entry at one door using a standard US junction box as its mounting base. It draws power directly from the network switch via PoE, eliminating the need for a separate power supply at the door location. The MPA1C1 is intended for commercial and light-industrial access control installations where network-based door management is required. Security integrators and low-voltage electricians install this controller as part of a broader access control system, connecting it to readers, locks, and the site network through a single structured-cabling run.

The MPA1C1 fits commercial deployments that require a compact, network-powered door controller without a dedicated power enclosure. It mounts directly to a standard US electrical junction box, making it suitable for new construction and retrofit projects where conduit and j-box infrastructure is already in place. The unit falls within the multiple-door category of access control hardware, supporting installations that scale by adding controllers per door on a shared network segment.

Key Features

• Power over Ethernet operation eliminates a separate door-side power supply
• Mounts to a standard US junction box for clean, code-friendly installation
• Single-door control in a compact form factor suited for commercial retrofits and new construction
• Network-connected architecture supports centralized access management
• Sold as an individual unit for per-door deployment flexibility

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style single-door PoE access controller for commercial security systems that support network-based door control with standard US junction box mounting.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage technician or security integrator familiar with access control systems and applicable local codes. Disconnect and lock out power to the PoE switch port before making or breaking connections at the controller. Verify the PoE switch port meets the power budget required by the MPA1C1 before commissioning. Follow the manufacturer datasheet wiring diagrams for reader, lock, and request-to-exit device terminations.
