Description

The RB-EXTGE-104H is a Gigabit Power-over-Ethernet Extender designed to extend the distance for both Ethernet and PoE UTP connections. It can be used with Cat-5e or Cat-6 cables to overcome the 100-meter cable distance restriction between network ports.

By connecting the RB-EXTGE-104H PoE Extender every 100 meters, you can extend the reach of PDs (such as IP Security Cameras and wireless access points). The actual distance achieved depends on the power requirements of the connected PDs and the capacity of the power source equipment (PSE).

The RB-EXTGE-104H does not require an additional power supply as it is powered by a single PoE switch port or injector. It features four Gigabit Ethernet ports, which are all automatically configured for link speed, duplex, and auto direct/crossover negotiation and connectivity. When connected to a PoE Switch, the extender supports PoE class 0, 2, 3, and 4 output. The total PoE power delivered can reach 54W (PoE Switch needs to provide IEEE802.3bt power).

5. Power on the PoE switch or injector.

Maximum Distance Reach for Power Sources

The maximum distance reach for power sources depends on the power requirements and PoE class of the connected devices. The figures mentioned in the user manual are based on operating conditions and using 24 AWG or heavier Cat-5e or Cat-6 cables.

Examples for medium-power PoE Devices (PoE Class 2 or under 6 watts)

• PoE switch (802.3af, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 300m
• 15W mid-span PoE+ switch (802.3af, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 300m
• PoE+ switch (802.3at, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 400m
• 30W mid-span PoE+ switch (802.3at, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 400m

Examples for full-power PoE Devices (PoE Class 0 or 3, or under 12 watts)

• PoE switch (802.3af, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 200m
• 15W mid-span PoE+ switch (802.3af, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 200m
• PoE+ switch (802.3at, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 300m
• 30W mid-span PoE+ switch (802.3at, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 300m

Examples for PoE+ Devices (PoE Class 4, under 22 watts or 802.3at compliant)

• 15W mid-span PoE+ switch (802.3af, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 200m
• PoE+ switch (802.3at, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 200m
• 30W mid-span PoE+ switch (802.3at, output voltage 50V): Maximum Distance – 200m

INSTRUCTION

• Maximum Distance Reach for Power Sources
• Multiple PoE Extenders can be connected every 100 meters to obtain greater distances. The actual figures depend on operating conditions. The range mentioned is for cables 24 AWG or heavier Cat-5e or Cat-6 cable except where specified.

Order Information
RB-EXTGE-104H – Gigabit PoE Extender 1(PoE IN) into 4(PoE OUT)

Description

• Both Ethernet and PoE UTP connections have cable distance restrictions to 100 meters only between network ports. To overcome this limitation, the RB-EXTGE-102H was developed: an in-line PoE Extender working on both Cat-5e and Cat-6 cables.
• With the RB-EXTGE-104H PoE Extender, PDs (such as IP Security Cameras, and wireless access points) can be installed at greater distances. By connecting the PoE Extender for each 100 meters of cable, both
• Ethernet and PoE signals double the reach, all depending on PD power requirements and the capacity of the power source equipment (PSE).
• The PoE Extender does not require any additional power supply and the connected PD is fed by a single PoE switch port or injector. RB-EXTGE-104H offers four Gigabit Ethernet ports, which are all configured automatically for link speed, duplex, and auto direct/crossover negotiation and connectivity. When connecting to a PoE Switch, the extender supports PoE class 0,2,3 and 4 output. The total PoE power delivered can reach 54w (PoE Switch needs to provide IEEE802.3bt power)
