2. Introduction
The 60W 5Gb 1-port PoE Extender is a component of CommScope's® powered fiber cable
system, a hybrid optical fiber/copper cable system for remote powering of network access
devices. It is designed to simply and easily function with the powered fiber cable system to extend
the distance of PoE (Power over Ethernet) enabled devices. The extender encompasses four primary
elements:
1.
Environmentally sealed enclosure
2.
Electrical power management
3.
Circuit protection electronics
4.
Optical to electrical Media Conversion
When coupled with any standard NEC Class 2 48V DC power supply, CommScope's Powered
Fiber Cable system can power and communicate with PoE standard devices at far greater
distances than "category style" copper cabling systems (typically limited to 90 meters) while still
meeting NEC Class 2 and SELV standards, eliminating the need for qualified electricians during
installation.
The extender contains circuit protection and DC/DC conversion electronics which automatically
condition electrical voltage to the correct level needed for PoE powered end devices such as small
cells, high definition security cameras, Wi-Fi hot spots, etc...
