Introduction
This 2-port Gigabit PoE+ extender spans your Power over Ethernet (PoE) devices
over longer distances, letting you double the 100 m limitations of a traditional PoE
infrastructure. You can connect two Gigabit PoE devices up to a maximum of 200 m
(total distance) away, so it’s easy to install a remote IP camera or access point. Plus, the
extender can be daisy-chained, for more scalability.
Packaging contents
• 1 x Gigabit PoE+ Extender
• 4 x rubber feet
• 1 x quick-start guide
System requirements
• Three RJ45-terminated Cat5 or better Ethernet cables (solid UTP cable is highly
recommended)
• 10/100/1000Mbps compatible network and devices
• One or two PoE or PoE+ Powered Device(s) (PD) that comply with IEEE 802.3at or
802.3af standards (extends up to two PoE or PoE+ devices)
• One PoE or PoE+ Power Source Equipment (PSE) device that complies with IEEE
802.3at or 802.3af standards
Notes:
• Total extension distances might be shorter due to power-delivery voltage drop on
the connected cables. The maximum distances can vary based on the quality of the
UTP cables and the environment the extender is integrated into.
• To ensure optimal performance and extension distance, it’s highly recommended
that you use solid Cat5 or better ethernet cable, rather than using stranded cable.

About the extender
The extender supports 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps (Gigabit) network speeds
and will automatically detect the speed of the incoming connection.
The extender should be installed between the PSE (Power Source Equipment) and
the PD (Powered Device). It is powered by the PSE and forwards the Ethernet data
and remaining PoE power to the PDs. The PoE extender does not require an external
power supply and will inject power to the PDs without aecting data transmission
throughput.
Once connected, each cable segment is limited to 100 m, when used with standard
RJ45 terminated Cat5 or better Ethernet cable. Any other non-standard cable, or
distances greater than 100 m, might result in unstable connections.
About power output
The extender accepts 30 watts of power input, with up to 23 watts of power output
shared between the two PoE output ports. It converts IEEE 802.3at 30 watt input to
IEEE 802.3af/at 23 watt output, over a maximum of 100 meters in distance.
Each extender requires approximately 2.5 watts to power the extender itself.
• Check the total power consumption of your devices and the extender(s) before
installation. If the overall power consumption is overloaded, the local PSE might
shut down the entire power system.
Note: The amount of available wattage depends on the number of extenders used, the
number of PDs connected, and the power draw of each of your connected PDs.
About the ports
The extender features three RJ45 ports. The IN port functions as PoE input (data plus
power). The OUT ports function as PoE output (data plus power).
Port Function
IN (Input) Connects to your Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) (for
example, a PoE injector, or PoE switch)

Install the extender
The extender can be integrated into your PoE network infrastructure as a single unit, or
you can use multiple units in a daisy-chain conguration.
Install a single extender
1. Use RJ45 cable to connect your Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE) device to the
extender’s IN port.
2. Use RJ45 cables to connect your Powered Device(s) (PD) to the extender’s OUT
port(s).
Note: According to the IEEE 802.3at and IEEE 802.3af standards, the extender won’t
inject power to the connected RJ45 cable if it isn’t connected to PoE device that meets
the IEEE 802.3at or 802.3af standard.
Install multiple extenders
Each extender requires approximately 2.5 watts to power the extender itself. Check the
total power consumption of your devices and the extender(s) before installation. If the
overall power consumption is overloaded, the local PSE might shut down the entire
power system.
1. Use RJ45 cable to connect one of the rst extender’s OUT port to a second
extender’s IN port.
2. Use RJ45 cable to connect your remote PoE powered device (PD) to one of the OUT
ports on the second extender, or to the last extender in the chain.
Optional: To daisy chain additional extender units, use RJ45 cable to connect one of
the second extender’s OUT port to a third extender’s IN port. Continue this pattern as
needed to include all extender units.
Note: You can daisy chain up to four extenders to a maximum distance of 500 m.
The amount of available wattage depends on the number, and power draw of the
connected PoE PDs.
Mount the extender to a surface
The extender features two built-in surface-mounting holes on the bottom of the unit.
The mounting holes let you install the extender on a surface (for example, a wall, or a
desk).
To mount the extender, do the following:
1. Secure two screws to your desired surface. Ensure the screw spacing matches the
spacing between the mounting holes on the bottom of the extender.
2. Mount the extender to the surface, placing the extender’s mounting holes over the
screws from step 1.
