Can an AvaEye PoE switch run a PoE camera over 300 ft without an extender? The camera I want to use is PoE+ and consumes 13 Watts when the night time infrared LEDs are on.

Question by: Ed on May 18, 2026, 11:32 AMYes, this AvaEye PoE switch can be used for camera runs over 300 ft without a separate PoE extender when Extended PoE mode is enabled and the installation uses good quality solid copper Cat5e or Cat6 cable.
A 13 watt PoE+ camera is a reasonable load for this type of setup, even when the infrared LEDs are on at night, as long as the total PoE budget of the switch is not exceeded. The bigger factors are cable quality, distance, camera power draw, and whether Extended PoE mode is supported and enabled on the switch.
For best results, use solid copper cable, avoid CCA cable, and test the camera before final installation. Extended PoE mode may reduce network speed on that port, but that is usually fine for security cameras. Higher power devices, PTZ cameras, heaters, poor cable, or very long runs may still require a PoE extender, fiber, or a different network design.
