3 Port PoE Ethernet Extender for IP Cameras

3 Port PoE Ethernet Extender for IP Cameras

This 3 port PoE Ethernet extender is designed for IP camera installations where a network cable needs to continue beyond a normal Ethernet segment. It carries network data and PoE power through the same cable, allowing the extender to be installed along the camera run without needing a separate AC power outlet at that location.

The extender has one PoE input and two PoE outputs. One output is intended for a compatible PoE security camera, while the second output can be used to continue the connection to another matching extender when a longer supported cable run is needed.

For a straightforward installation, connect the incoming Ethernet cable from the PoE source to the extender's input port, then connect the camera to the camera output. The extender receives its operating power through the Ethernet connection and forwards both network data and PoE power to the remote device.

One PoE Input and Two PoE Outputs

Unlike a basic one-input, one-output PoE repeater, this model has three 10/100Mbps Ethernet ports. Each port has a specific role in the installation.

Extend a PoE Camera Run Beyond 328ft

Standard Ethernet installations are normally designed around cable segments up to 100 meters, or approximately 328 feet. This extender can add up to another 100 meters to a supported camera run while continuing to carry both network data and PoE power.

This makes it useful for cameras located at gates, parking areas, warehouses, detached buildings, long hallways, property entrances, and other locations where the camera is farther from the PoE switch, NVR, or network equipment.

For longer supported layouts, two matching extenders can be cascaded when the upstream PoE source provides enough available power for the complete installation. A supported two-extender layout can provide a total transmission distance of up to 300 meters and can accommodate up to three IP cameras when the combined connected camera load remains within 25W.

The amount of PoE power available at the far end of a cable run depends on the upstream power source, cable distance, cable quality, connections, and the power required by the connected equipment. Always plan the complete cable run and camera power requirements before using multiple extenders.

IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at Camera Output

The camera output is designed for compatible IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at PoE network cameras. This makes the extender useful with many standard fixed-lens and other PoE IP cameras that operate within the available power budget.

The extender itself does not require a separate wall adapter or local AC outlet. It receives power from the incoming Ethernet connection, which can simplify installations where adding electrical power at the midpoint of a camera run would be inconvenient.

Compact Installation for Camera Networks

The compact enclosure measures approximately 79 x 52 x 23mm, making it easy to place near a camera cable connection or inside a suitable equipment enclosure. The unit supports installation inside a junction box or on a DIN rail where the installation allows.

The extender should be protected from direct weather exposure. When it is installed outdoors or in another exposed location, place it inside a suitable junction box or equipment enclosure and protect the Ethernet connections from moisture.
