User Manual
FAQ
What is the maximum distance I can extend PoE using this extender?
Each POEEXT1GAT extender adds 100 meters (330 feet) of reach for both power and data. You can connect up to four units in a daisy chain for a total extension of 500 meters (1640 feet) from the original PoE source, though power output decreases slightly with each additional unit in the chain.
Does this extender support both PoE and PoE+ standards?
Yes, it fully supports both IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) standards. It accepts a 30W PoE+ input and delivers a 24W output that is compatible with devices requiring either standard, ensuring broad interoperability with existing network equipment.
Can I use this extender outdoors or in harsh environments?
While the extender has a rugged metal housing and surge/ESD protection, it is not rated as waterproof or for direct outdoor exposure. It is suitable for indoor use or protected outdoor installations like under eaves or in enclosures where it is shielded from direct moisture and extreme weather conditions.
What types of devices are compatible with this PoE extender?
It is designed to power a wide range of PoE-powered devices (PDs), including wireless access points, IP phones, surveillance cameras, and digital kiosks. The automatic detection feature ensures compatibility and safe operation with any IEEE 802.3af/at compliant device without manual configuration.
Is an external power supply required for the extender to function?
No external power adapter is needed. The extender operates entirely from the PoE power it receives from the upstream switch or injector, making it a true plug-and-play device. This simplifies installation and reduces clutter, as no additional electrical outlets are necessary at the extension point.
What protection features does the extender include for connected equipment?
The extender incorporates 2kV surge protection and ESD (electrostatic discharge) protection to safeguard both itself and any connected PoE devices from voltage spikes and transient electrical events. This enhances reliability and longevity, particularly in environments with unstable power or where equipment is susceptible to static discharge.
