PLANET POE-E101 is a newly designed and simple device which extends both the reach of Ethernet Data and IEEE 802.3af Power over Ethernet over the standard 100m (328 ft.) CAT5e/6 UTP cable to 200m, 300m or longer distance.

Currently, PoE supported networking devices such as PoE IP cameras, PoE wireless access points and PoE IP phones have become the mainstream of network deployment because of the convenience of easy installation regardless of additional power supply. However, limited by the UTP cable specifications, only up to 100 meters (328 ft.) of cable could be applied for IP-based and PoE powered devices (PD) installation. Therefore, the POE-E101 is designed as the repeater to forward both Ethernet data and PoE power, thus extending the range of the PoE powered device installation. By just plug and play but with no additional power supply or setup required, one single POE-E101 can increase the PoE range to 200m. By daisy-chaining multiple PoE-E101s, it offers you great flexibility to extend the distance of PoE network to triple or quadruple.

Providing PoE and Ethernet data extension ability, the POE-E101 is an ideal solution for service providers, campuses and public areas for networking application which requires PoE deployment of wireless access points, IP-based surveillance cameras or IP phones in any places. It enables you to centrally manage the power from one location easily, efficiently and cost-effectively.

The POE-E101 PoE Extender is quite easy to be installed by simple plug and play. It is used between a power sourcing equipment (PSE) and a powered device (PD); it injects power to the PD without affecting the data transmission performance. The POE-E101 offers a cost effective and quick solution to doubling the standard range of PoE from 100 to 200 meters. There are 2 RJ-45 ports in a compact mini box of PoE Extender, of which the IN port functions as "PoE (Data and Power) input" and the other port on the other side functions as "PoE (Data and Power) output". The "PoE OUT" port is also the power injectors which transmit DC voltage to the Cat5e/6 cable and transfer data and power simultaneously between the PSE and PD.
