What is a PoE Extender?

A PoE extender is a device that can extend Ethernet network devices beyond the basic 100m distance limit for twisted pair Ethernet cable.

Ethernet Distance Limit? – Not Any More!
You Need An Industrial PoE Extender

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is a networking standard defined by the IEEE as 802.3af, 802.3at and 802.3bt standards.  Also sometimes referred to as PoE Ethernet.

PoE is a technique to bridge Ethernet LAN Signals over twisted pair or other wiring and transport electrical power in concert with Ethernet signals up to 100m or 328 feet.  This electrical power can be combined on the same wire pairs as the Ethernet signal or on separate unused wire pairs in the same cable.

Power Over Ethernet Extender concept and creation came to fruition in 2005 when Enable-IT adapted it’s Ethernet Extender technology to allow Long Distance Power Over Ethernet transport for self powering end PoE device like PoE WiFi Access points and PoE IP Cameras.

Make the most of your existing wiring infrastructure and utilize Power Over Ethernet Extender technology to drastically lower your cost for installing any PoE Ethernet devices such as PoE IP-based video surveillance, PoE WiFi (Wireless) Access points and PoE IP Access Control Devices.

We recommend for long distance PoE Ethernet, to use our PoE Extender Solutions that can go up to 4,100 feet. Put Your PoE Where You Need It!

What is Power Over Ethernet - PoE?

Electrical currents flow in a loop and therefore two conductors are required to deliver power over any wiring.
One for Positive and One for Negative power.

Power Over Ethernet (PoE) can be deployed on only 1-pair (2-wires) of wire – Like coaxial cabling, however the more physical copper you have the stronger and safer the delivery of long distance of electricity can occur.

Traditional PoE is restricted to the Ethernet Data distance limits of just 328 feet or 100m. This is a false distance barrier that is made up by LAN Engineers that don’t understand electricity transport. Enable-IT PoE Extenders leverage electrical principles to optimize your existing wiring for each pair as a single or combined conductor allowing you to use 1-pair, 2-pair, 3-pair or all 4-pair wiring to maximize your effective distance in deploying PoE Devices.

Power over Ethernet is injected onto the cable at a voltage between 44 and 57 volts DC, and typically 48 volts is used. This relatively high voltage allows efficient power transfer along the cable, while still being low enough to be regarded as safe.

This voltage is safe for users, but it can still damage equipment that has not been designed to receive PoE. Therefore, before a PoE switch or midspan (known as a PSE, for power sourcing equipment) can enable power to a connected IP camera or other equipment (known as a PD, for powered device), it must perform a power signature detection process.
Power signature detection uses a lower voltage to detect a characteristic signature of IEEE-compatible PDs (a 25k Ohm resistance). Once this power signature has been detected, the PSE Power Injector knows that higher voltages can be safely applied.

Enable-IT revolutionized it’s own PoE Extender industry by reaching further distances than anyone ever could by engineering Power Over Ethernet drive up to 4,100ft, PoE Powered AC Outlets capable of delivering 120 ~ 240V AC in wall plate or portable outlets.

Ethernet Distance Limit?, No,
They all go back to a basic copper Ethernet Interface for data-transmissions

How Does a PoE Ethernet Extender Work?
Invented by Enable-IT

In 2005 Enable-IT Invented the World’s 1st PoE Ethernet Extender adapting it’s Ethernet Extender technology for transport with Power Over Ethernet (PoE) technology to deliver Ethernet LAN packets with DC power and transport them over a 1-pair, 2-pair, 3-pair or 4-pair wiring before reversing the process and converting back to an Ethernet LAN interface with PoE output power.

In April 2005, Enable-IT announced that it had created the worlds’s 1st standalone PoE Ethernet Extender product and coined the terms PoE Ethernet, PoE Extender and PoE Ethernet Extender.

From then on, Enable-IT has created and dominated the Planet’s PoE Ethernet Extender and Industrial PoE Ethernet Extender industry from scratch as the original source.

Power over Ethernet (PoE) is an evolving technology that extends the already ultra-broad functionality of Ethernet by supplying reliable DC power over the same cables that currently carry Ethernet data.

Unlike Ethernet that requires a minimum or 4 wires (2-pair) for a data connection up to 8 wires (4-pair) for Gigabit Ethernet and above, Electricity only needs 2 wires (1-pair) for Positive and Negative Voltage. Electricity is not limited to the short distances of 802.3 Ethernet and PoE is only distance governed by impedance of the wire over distance.

Power Over Ethernet products (PoE Ethernet Extender or PoE Extenders) provide an easy-to-connect, transparent power and Ethernet network bridge between existing AC power outlets with Ethernet LAN date over your cabling to remote PoE Devices. A Plug and Go simple to use, reliable, and offers seamless solution up to 4,100ft away from your source power/data.

The latest update to PoE is the IEEE 802.3at standard, known as PoE+. The major difference between 802.3af (PoE) and 802.3at (PoE+) is that PoE+ PSEs can provide almost twice as much power over a single Ethernet cable – PoE Ethernet. Because PoE allows you to use one cable for both power and data transmission, PoE saves you money on purchasing and running cable for networking equipment and VoIP phones. PoE makes installing or expanding a network much simpler and cheaper in buildings where it is too expensive or inconvenient to install new power lines.

Cheap Chinese PoE Extender kits like the Axis T8129 only support low throughput, low power, single port PoE Device extension. For Superior, Reliable, Quality PoE Extender solutions that offer incredible functionality, like DIP Switch selectable PoE Output, 2-pair or 4-Pair PoE output, Disabling of PoE to safely attach a PC while installing in the field, and multi-port Drop location all on the same wire run, look no further than the options offered by Made in the USA Enable-IT PoE Extenders.

When installing a Enable-IT PoE Extender kit, they establish a connection automatically and depending on the model, they deliver plug and go Ethernet performance with the right PoE (Power over Ethernet) output to go the distance. Ideal for installing any PoE Device, especially high powered PTZ IP Access cameras like Axis, Pelco, Ubiquity, Sony, HikVision, and FLIR.

PoE Ethernet Extender Applications

Enable-IT branded Power Over Ethernet Solutions do a lot more than extend Ethernet signals beyond the IEEE 802.3 distance limits; they allow you to install your critical PoE Ethernet Network infrastructure more securely at extreme distances to where you need it most. Enable-IT Gigabit PoE Ethernet Extender kits have been the seminal innovators in this concept, technology, encrypted security and gigabit performance long before inferior knock-off copycat Chinese spyware made crap.

PoE Extender Solutions – Real World PoE Ethernet Benefits

As you can see there are many benefits to be able to leverage existing copper wiring, especially the abundance of common coax and telephone wiring. You don’t always need to waste your money on installing Category rated wiring if you do not need to. Keep in mind you only need 1-pair of wire and coax or telephone wire works just as well if not better. In twisted pair CAT rated wiring, you wind up not using three quarters of the copper wiring (3-pairs). Believe it of not – Enable-IT Supreme Engineering has built custom Long Distance PoE Extender Solutions that use only 1 physical wire. No One on the Planet has figured out how to do that!

Another set of key benefits in the use of Industrial PoE Extender Solutions are centered around the significant cost savings over traditional methods such as the use of multiple AC powered Ethernet switches and expensive fiber solutions. Using multiple daisy-chained Ethernet Switches adds performance delays, more points of failure, and the cost of installing AC outlet and supporting infrastructure every 328 feet. An Enable-IT branded PoE Extender Solution can drastically reduce those costs, points of failure and installation/support costs.
Fiber has been a traditional go to solution for long distances, however fiber, especially glass fiber is highly susceptible to breakage, crack and damage in extreme cold or movements. What they never tell you is for troubleshooting fiber for these performance destroying situations is the tens of thousands of dollars fiber troubleshooting equipment costs.
