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 configuration.
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 first 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.
