Chapter 2: Overview
2. Overview
2.1 Introduction
Use the PoE Repeater to extend PoE connections beyond the Ethernet limit of
100 meters to access distant Class 2 PoE devices. Data and power both run over
the same cable, so you don’t need a separate power supply. The maximum dis-
tance using two repeaters is 300 meters (984 feet). The maximum distance with
one repeater is 200 meters (656 feet).
Each repeater uses about 2.5 watts, so we don’t recommend daisychaining more
than two units. Two repeaters daisychained support a PoE PD end device up to
6.49 watts.

3. Installation
To install the repeater, simply plug in the Ethernet cable. Then follow these steps:
1. Connect the first repeater’s RJ-45 connector that’s labeled “IN” to the incom-
ing line (from the PoE switch or injector).
2. Connect the next repeater or an IP camera or access point to the RJ-45 port
that’s labeled “OUT” on the first repeater.
NOTE: The repeaters require no special configuration. Operation is plug-and-play.
4. About PoE 802.3af
PoE 802.3af divides devices into classes. These classes refer to the power demand.
Table 4-1 shows which applications are possible with the LPR110.
Table 4-1. PoE applications.

1 or 2 6.49 watts 328 feet (100 meters)
NOTE: Distances shown in Table 4-1 apply when using 24 AWG CAT5, CAT5e, or
CAT6 cable.

Chapter 5: Troubleshooting
5. Troubleshooting
5.1 Problems/Solutions
Problem: The PoE device is not working but makes a strange sound.
Cause/Solution: Either the power demand from your PoE device is too high or
you have too many LPR110 units installed.
Problem: The repeater only transmits switched data. VLAN traffic and
other special Ethernet frames do not pass through the LPR110.
Cause/Solution: LPR110 does not support Jumbo frames or other frame sizes
beyond the standard Ethernet limits.
5.2 Calling Black Box
If you determine that your PoE Repeater is malfunctioning, do not attempt to alter
or repair the unit. It contains no user-serviceable parts. Contact Black Box
Technical Support at 724-746-5500.
Before you do, make a record of the history of the problem. We will be able to
provide more efficient and accurate assistance if you have a complete description,
including:
• the nature and duration of the problem.
• when the problem occurs.
• the components involved in the problem.
• any particular application that, when used, appears to create the problem or
make it worse.
5.3 Shipping and Packaging
If you need to transport or ship your PoE Repeater:
• Package it carefully. We recommend that you use the original container.
• If you are returning the unit, make sure you include everything you received
with it. Before you ship the PoE Repeater for return or repair, contact Black Box
to get a Return Authorization (RA) number.
