Outdoor GigabitPoE Extender Series

The AP-GXC-0150/0250 is an outdoor Gigabit PoE extender capable of receiving 90W IEEE 802.3bt PoE power from PSE. The AP-GXC-0150 has 1 PoE IN port and 1 PoE OUT port, while the AP-GXC-0250 has 1 PoE IN port and 2 PoE OUT ports. Multiple extenders can be cascaded to increase the cabling distance.

IMPORTANT

  • Install the device in a ventilated and dry place, that is free of electromagnetic source, vibration, moisture, and dust.
  • Make sure the ventilation openings on the extender are not blocked.
  • Use CAT.5e or 6 UTP/STP cables. Avoid using low-quality cables, which will seriously limit the cabling distance.

CONNECTION

Make sure the combined bandwidth consumption does not exceed the uplink bandwidth from the PoE switch.

INSTALLATION

AP-GXC-0150

  • PoE OFF/ON Switch
  • PoE Input: Connect to PoE Switch
  • Ground screw: Make sure the grounding resistance
  • 56VDC PoE Output

AP-GXC-0250

  • PoE OFF/ON Switch
  • PoE Input: Connect to PoE Switch
  • Ground screw: Make sure the grounding resistance
  • Port 1: 56VDC PoE Output
  • Port 2: 56VDC PoE Output

LED DEFINITIONS

PWR PoE LAN
Green ON OFF Green or Amber ON
OFF PoE IN port is connected to PSE. OFF
Green ON Power over ethernet cable status Green ON
Flashing Ethernet cable no Power Flashing
OFF Data link is detected. OFF
Data is being transmitted or received.
The link is not detected.

DIP SWITCH DEFINITIONS:

Pin 1 Pin 2 (AP-GXC-0250 only)
ON: Port 1 Turn on PoE output ON: Port 2 Turn on PoE output Out 1
OFF: Port 1 Turn off PoE output OFF: Port 2 Turn off PoE output Out 2

If the device that is going to be connected to this extender is
not PoE PD, please turn off the PoE output function.

IMPORTANT

The Outdoor PoE Extender must be grounded using a ground wire between the ground screw and earth ground.

INSTALLATION

To disconnect a LAN cable, loosen the cable gland and pull the cable against the socket wall towards the side of the locking tab. Please follow the procedures below carefully to ensure the best seal:

  1. Thread the Cat5e/6 cable through the cap(A) & grip(B)
  2. Fit the washer(E) to the Outdoor PoE Extender connector
  3. Hold Outdoor PoE Extender and then screw the body(D) onto the Outdoor
  4. Push rubber(C) in the grip(B) and screw the cap tighten firmly. The Cat5e/6 cable is sealed when the rubber(C) & grip(B) bulges to the edge of the cap(A).

Note: There are power losses due to cable resistance.

Usage Instructions:

  1. Choose a ventilated and dry place, that is free of electromagnetic sources, vibration, moisture, and dust to install the device.
  2. Make sure the ventilation openings on the extender are not blocked.
  3. Use CAT.5e or 6 UTP/STP cables. Avoid using low-quality cables, which will seriously limit the cabling distance.
  4. Make sure the combined bandwidth consumption does not exceed the uplink bandwidth from the PoE switch. Connect the PoE Input port to PoE Switch.
  5. If you are using AP-GXC-0250, you can turn on PoE output for Port 1 and/or Port 2 using the DIP switches.
  6. If the device that is going to be connected to this extender is not PoE PD, please turn off the PoE output function.
  7. Ground the Outdoor PoE Extender using a ground wire between the ground screw and the earth ground.
  8. To disconnect a LAN cable, loosen the cable gland and pull the cable against the socket wall towards the side of the locking tab. Follow the installation procedures carefully to ensure the best seal.
