Planet POE-E201 PoE repeater

Planet POE-E201 is a device that extends both the reach of Gigabit Ethernet data and IEEE 802.3at/802.3af Power over Ethernet over the standard 100 m Cat 5/5e/6 UTP cable to 200, 300, 400 and a maximum of 500 m.

Normally only up to 100 m of cable can be used for IP-based and PoE-powered device (PD) installation. The POE-E201 is designed as a repeater to forward both Gigabit Ethernet data and high-power PoE power and thus extend the range of PoE installation. Each POE-E201 can increase the PoE range by an additional 100 m. By daisy-chaining multiple PoE-E201s, it is possible to extend the distance of the PoE network further.

The POE-E201 gigabit high-power PoE Extender injects power to the PD without affecting the data transmission performance. The PoE Extender is designed in a compact mini box containing two RJ45 ports, of which the PoE IN port functions as PoE (data and power) input and the PoE OUT port on the other side functions as PoE (data and power) output. The PoE OUT port is also the power injector to provide DC in the Cat 5/5e/6 cable and transfer data and power simultaneously between the PSE and PD.
