AXIS Long Range PoE Extender Kit

The AXIS Long Range PoE Extender Kit is a smart, cost-efficient solution designed for professional security networks and industrial deployments. It extends both Ethernet and Power over Ethernet (PoE) up to 1000 meters, enabling reliable IP camera, access point, and sensor placement far from the network core. By enabling long-distance power and data transmission over standard copper cabling, this kit helps you optimize site coverage, reduce cable runs, and maximize the value of your Axis surveillance and network investments.

• Extends Ethernet and PoE connections up to 1000 meters (3280 feet) over standard copper Ethernet cabling, unlocking flexible installation options for security cameras, sensors, and other PoE devices. This long-range capability reduces the need for multiple switches or local power sources, simplifying deployment across campuses, large facilities, parking structures, and industrial environments. It preserves data integrity and ensures reliable performance even at extended distances, enabling consistent video quality and device uptime when distance once constrained your network layout.
• Supports IEEE 802.3af (PoE) and IEEE 802.3at (PoE+) compliant devices, providing the appropriate level of power for a wide range of IP cameras, access points, and networked sensors. Whether you’re powering standard PoE cameras or more demanding PoE+ devices, the extender delivers a compatible solution that helps you optimize power budgeting and installation versatility without extra power injectors at every remote end.
• NEMA TS2 compatibility ensures suitability for traffic environments and smart city deployments where reliable performance is essential. The kit is designed to meet standards important for roadways and signal-controlled intersections, providing engineers with a robust, standards-based option to extend network reach in demanding public infrastructure projects.
• Cost-efficient solution that minimizes hardware and maintenance costs. By extending both data and power with a single, integrated kit, you can reduce trenching, cabling complexity, and the total cost of ownership while maintaining high reliability for critical surveillance and network devices across large sites.
• Smart, easy-to-install design with plug-and-play capabilities and minimal setup required. The extender is engineered for straightforward integration with Axis products and other PoE-enabled devices, enabling faster deployment, quicker ROI, and easier future upgrades as your network grows or changes.

How to install AXIS Long Range PoE Extender Kit

• Plan the installation by identifying the central PoE switch location and the remote device(s) that will benefit from extended reach. Ensure the chosen route uses appropriate Cat5e/Cat6 cabling to support the required distance and performance.
• Connect the primary PoE extender unit to your PoE-enabled network switch using a standard Ethernet cable. This unit will act as the power and data source for the extended link.
• Run a Cat5e/Cat6 cable from the primary extender to the remote location where the PoE device will reside. Keep runs organized and protected from interference, using proper cable routing and protection as needed.
• Connect the remote extender to the PoE device (for example, an Axis IP camera or another PoE-enabled device). Verify that the device is receiving data and power through the extended link.
• Power up the system and perform a basic connectivity check. Confirm that the remote device comes online, video streams are stable, and any management software recognizes the extender and connected device. If necessary, adjust network settings or device configurations to optimize performance.
