Extenders

The 100m distance limitation is often insufficient for the needs of many potential users. That is where the PoE extender comes into the picture.

The PoE extender (often called a PoE repeater) is a connected device on the physical layer of a network used to increase (or extend) PoE transmission beyond the 100m limit of PoE switches and PoE injectors. This device is used by venues such as hotels, academic and medical campuses, shopping malls, factories, sports arenas, etc., to create a low-cost network.

FAQ's on Extenders

How does a PoE extender work?

PoE extenders are easy to use. Typically, they are “plug-and-play” devices that do not require specialized knowledge to deploy. Here’s how they work:

A PoE extender receives power and data from the PSE it is connected to (usually a PoE switch). It uses some of the electrical power it receives to power its own operation, while the remaining electricity is sent onto the PoE device.

For example, let’s say the PD that needs to be powered is an IP camera. A PoE extender has two separate ports labeled “in” and “out.” The “in” port must be connected to the PSE, while the “out” port is linked with the IP camera. Note: if these connections are not made correctly, the IP camera will not work.

If your IP camera is more than 100m but less than 200m from the PSE, only one PoE extender will be needed. However, if the IP camera is placed at a distance of 300 to 400m, at least two or three PoE extenders will be required. Note: if the IP camera is one kilometer (km) or more away (around 3,280 feet), a PoE extender will not help. The only other option is a fiber optic PoE solution.

Why use a PoE extender?

There are several reasons to consider the use of a PoE extender.

1) A PoE extender is an easy solution to increase the network’s range and strength.

2) A PoE extender reduces overall costs. They can be placed anywhere convenient because there is no need for an electrical outlet. This saves both time and money. Besides being easy to install, using a PoE extender provides significant savings compared to the use of multiple costly PoE switches or even more expensive fiber solutions. Also, glass fiber is highly vulnerable to damage due to extreme cold or movements.

3) PoE extenders are flexible. Changes or additions can be made without much fuss or significant time investment.

4) PoE extenders use PoE power, which means they use relatively low voltages and have a low chance of electrical hazard.

Where do I install a PoE Extender?

PoE extenders are installed in-line between the PSE (powering source equipment: i.e., PoE switch) and the PD (powered device).

What are the different types of PoE extenders?

It’s crucial to know how much electrical power a powered device needs. This is because individual PoE extenders can comply with different IEEE 802.3 standards; thus, their power output differs. Following, we will discuss the three most common “flavors” of PoE extenders.

Type 1: IEEE 802.3af (PoE) Extender

Extenders that use this PoE standard can supply a maximum of 15.4W of power to a PoE PD. However, some power is always lost over the length of the cable, so the maximum capacity cannot be fully reached. So, it is essential to be aware of your power budget. Extenders that use standard PoE deliver 12.95W to the PD—which means that even though it has a maximum power output of 15.4W, it will only be able to power devices that require 12.95W or less to work. PoE extenders are sufficient for PDs such as VoIP phones, sensors, and wireless access points (WAPs).

Type 2: IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) Extender

A PoE extender that complies with the PoE+ standard can deliver a power budget of 25.5W. As a result, the PoE+ extender is an excellent solution for IP cameras, parking systems, and video surveillance.

Type 3: IEEE 802.3bt (PoE++) Extender

IEEE 802.3bt standards come in two types. The PoE ++ (also referred to as Type 3) supports 60W of power, with PDs receiving 51W, while the POE++ (Type 4) standard supports 100W, which dissipates to 71.3W to the PD. These types of PoE extenders are sufficient to power devices such as screen kiosks and LED lighting, respectively.

A Word About Industrial Grade PoE Extenders

PoE extenders also come in “hardened” versions suitable for outdoors or even the factory floor. These sturdy devices are housed in fortified casings that are dust and waterproof and can withstand harsh environments and temperatures.
