Are there any injectors on the market that can do 2.5Gbps passthrough but can also be set to power off when a link goes down on the input? I'm looking for something like we can do on regular PoE switches where we do a shut on the port and the power goes off. I'm hoping someone made an injector that can shut off when the link status on the input goes off. This would be so I could still remotely power cycle an AP or camera that's tied to an injector.
My newer APs can support 2.5Gbps, but all my PoE switches are 1Gbps, except for the SFP ports. My thought was get a 2.5Gbps SFP to Ethernet, run that through the injector and have the higher speed link to the AP. Or even just having the ability to easily cycle the injector without having to get something that requires its own IP address to do the power cycling.

good question, - i do not see any uplink port that can support 2.5Gbps (i may be wrong not tested myself)
Uplink can only support(as i know) 1GB /10GB / 25GB / ....so on -Not that i have seen 2.5 can support.
I believe you mentioned AP Cat 9K Model do support with conjuntion with Cat 9300 have mgig ports.
yes you can use PoE adaptor (i have tested with ) which can boot up Cat 9K AP and connect to 3750 with 1GB ports.

I know it all works, we've got 3650s and 9300s just starting to come in. The issue I deal with is the things like 1562E APs that are mounted high on buildings with the PoE injector not easily accessible.

Cisco-branded power injectors are manufactured by PhiHong.
They have several 802.3bt power injectors that can remotely disable the downstream (to the far end) port using SNMP. POE240U-4BT-N-R can support up to 60wac (per port) and also support 2.5 Gbps. Link is HERE for the entire catalogue.
I recommend buy one and try it out. If it works, then buy more.
