Ethernet and PoE connections both restrict cable distances to 100 meters between network ports. To overcome this distance limit, network installers can simply connect an PoE Extender in-line with the Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable.

With PoE Extender, PDs (such as IP Security Cameras, VoIP telephones, wireless access points) can be installed at greater distances than 100 meters from one another. By connecting PoE Extender for every extra 100 meters of cable, both Ethernet and PoE can be extended to 200 meters, 300 meters, or even greater distances(max. up to 500 meters), depending on PDs power required and power source.

PoE Extender does not require any additional power supply and the connected PDs is fed by an single PoE switch or mid-span, which simplifies installation. PoE Extender offers two Ethernet ports, which are both configured automatically for link speed, duplex and crossover and the full-rate network throughput is maintained.
