Panduit Power over Ethernet Extenders Application Guide
Introduction
The Panduit Power over Ethernet (PoE) extenders provide the most cost-effective and reliable method to extend data
and power at lengths up to 2,000 feet using standard off-the-shelf 4-pair copper cabling. The goal of this document is to
provide application instructions for these PoE extenders. This includes:
●
Overview of the offering
●
Length and power guidelines

PoE Extender Product Overview
System Overview
The PoE Extenders can operate at either 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s. Both the switch and end device must be capable at
operating at these speeds and both must operate at the same 10 Mb/s or 100 Mb/s speed.
To extend power and data beyond 100 meters, each link will require (1) transmitter and (1) receiver. There is only one type
of transmitter, but two types of receivers: a 1-port and 4-port. An exemplary deployment is shown in Figure 1.
The system does require power, either through a Power over Ethernet enabled switch or at least one external power
supply. The amount of power needed is dependent on the amount of power needed by the end device attached to the
receiver. This is detailed in the next section.
