About the extender
The extender supports 10Mbps, 100Mbps and 1000Mbps (Gigabit) network speeds
and will automatically detect the speed of the incoming connection.
The extender should be installed between the PSE (Power Source Equipment) and
the PD (Powered Device). It is powered by the PSE and forwards the Ethernet data
and remaining PoE power to the PDs. The PoE extender does not require an external
power supply and will inject power to the PDs without affecting data transmission
throughput.
Once connected, each cable segment is limited to 100 m, when used with standard
RJ45 terminated Cat5 or better Ethernet cable. Any other non-standard cable, or
distances greater than 100 m, might result in unstable connections.
About power output
The extender accepts 30 watts of power input, with up to 23 watts of power output
shared between the two PoE output ports. It converts IEEE 802.3at 30 watt input to
IEEE 802.3af/at 23 watt output, over a maximum of 100 meters in distance.
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.
Note:
The amount of available wattage depends on the number of extenders used, the
number of PDs connected, and the power draw of each of your connected PDs.
About the ports
The extender features three RJ45 ports. The
IN
port functions as PoE input (data plus
power). The
OUT
ports function as PoE output (data plus power).
