Product Features
Technical Overview
This PoE extender operates with a minimum output voltage of 48V DC and a maximum of 55V DC, delivering up to 68W of total power across both output ports. The Gigabit Ethernet ports maintain full network throughput while extending PoE capability up to 300 meters from the source, effectively overcoming distance limitations in structured cabling installations.
The unit's small footprint measures 3.50 inches wide by 3.41 inches high by 1.10 inches deep, with a lightweight construction of just 7.41 ounces. This compact design facilitates installation in space-constrained environments while maintaining robust performance for powering access points, IP cameras, and other PoE-enabled devices.
Relevant factors for this section include Protection Type, Minimum Output Voltage, Maximum Output Voltage, Maximum Output Power. When those points are considered together, they give buyers a clearer picture of how the product is equipped, how it fits into deployment, and what kind of day-to-day role it is meant to support.
Key Product Advantages
The AP-GXC-0200 extends both data and power over existing Ethernet infrastructure, eliminating the need for separate power runs and reducing installation complexity. The surge protection circuitry provides an additional layer of security for connected devices, particularly valuable in environments prone to electrical fluctuations.
Port Expansion
Converts a single PoE input into two independent PoE outputs, effectively doubling connectivity options without requiring additional switch ports or power injectors.
- 1 input to 2 output conversion
- Independent port operation
- No switch port expansion needed
Installation Flexibility
The compact dimensions and lightweight construction enable installation in ceiling voids, wall cavities, or surface mounting with minimal structural impact.
- Fits standard electrical boxes
- Low-profile design
- Multiple mounting options
Deployment / Use Cases
This PoE extender is particularly effective in scenarios where network infrastructure needs to reach devices beyond standard Ethernet distance limitations. The 300-meter extension capability makes it suitable for large floor plans, warehouse environments, and campus settings where cable runs exceed typical specifications.
Common deployment scenarios include extending PoE to wireless access points in perimeter areas, powering IP surveillance cameras at building exteriors, and connecting VoIP phones in remote office locations. The unit's indoor rating makes it appropriate for climate-controlled environments where temperature and humidity remain within standard operating ranges.
Wireless Network Expansion
Extend Wi-Fi coverage by powering access points in locations beyond standard PoE switch reach, maintaining consistent network performance across extended distances.
Security System Integration
Power multiple IP cameras from a single PoE source while maintaining video quality and network reliability for surveillance applications.
Physical Profile
The extender features a compact rectangular enclosure with dimensions optimized for discreet installation. The 3.50-inch width and 3.41-inch height allow the unit to fit within standard electrical boxes or surface-mount enclosures, while the 1.10-inch depth ensures minimal protrusion from mounting surfaces. The 7.41-ounce weight reduces stress on mounting hardware and simplifies handling during installation.
The physical profile is practical for deployment planning because the dimensions and weight are clearly defined: 3.41" (86.50 mm), 3.50" (89 mm), 1.10" (28 mm), 7.41 oz (210 g). This helps confirm rack, shelf, desk, or cabinet fit before installation.
