Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Extender/Repeater

Designed for demanding environments, the Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Extender/Repeater delivers dependable power and data extension over standard Cat5e/6/6a cabling. Built with a rugged IP67-rated enclosure and IK10 impact resistance, this extender thrives in outdoor, industrial, and harsh settings where weather, dust, and physical stress are everyday realities. Whether you’re extending surveillance camera networks, deploying outdoor wireless access points, or powering edge devices in remote locations, this 2-port extender preserves Gigabit performance while safely delivering PoE+. Its compact, weatherproof design provides versatile mounting options, reducing cable clutter and eliminating the need for multiple power adapters.

The extender supports PoE+ (IEEE 802.3at) on its two ports and is powered through your PoE-enabled network, minimizing the need for additional power infrastructure. With a total PoE budget of up to 95W, you can run two high-demand devices simultaneously—perfect for high-resolution cameras, PTZ devices, lighting, or other PoE-powered equipment. By acting as both a data repeater and a power distributor, the unit maintains signal integrity across longer cable runs and through challenging environments. Its robust performance is matched by easy installation and reliable long-term operation, making it an excellent choice for campus networks, transportation hubs, manufacturing floors, and outdoor installations where uptime matters.

• Rugged, weatherproof housing: IP67-rated enclosure protects internal electronics from rain, dust, and immersion, while IK10-rated impact resistance guards against physical abuse in outdoor and industrial settings.
• PoE+ power delivery for two devices: Up to 95W total PoE budget distributed across both ports, enabling power-hungry devices like high-definition cameras and outdoor wireless radios without a separate power supply.
• Gigabit performance over Cat5e/6/6a: Maintains full 1 Gbps data rates on each port, supporting high-bandwidth applications such as HD video streaming, real-time monitoring, and fast network backbones.
• Two-port PoE+ extension/repeater: Extends both power and data to two downstream devices up to 328 ft (100 m) from the PoE source, helping you reach distant installations without sacrificing performance.
• Easy integration and durable design: Supports standard Ethernet cabling, simple mounting options, and reliable operation in challenging environments, reducing downtime and simplifying maintenance for enterprise networks.

how to install Eaton Tripp Lite Series 2-Port Gigabit Ethernet PoE+ Extender/Repeater

Proper installation maximizes reliability and ensures optimal performance. Follow these practical steps to deploy your Eaton Tripp Lite PoE+ extender/repeater quickly and safely:

• Plan placement and cable routing: Identify a secure, accessible location within 100 meters of your PoE source and away from direct physical hazards. For outdoor installations, select a mounting surface that leverages the IP67 enclosure’s weather protection and provides adequate clearance for ventilation and heat dissipation.
• Prepare cabling: Run Cat5e/6/6a Ethernet cables from the PoE-enabled switch or injector to the unit’s input port, then from each of the two output ports to your PoE-powered devices. Use shielded or unshielded cable based on your environment, ensuring cable runs are within the 100-meter limit.
• Mount the extender: Use the included mounting hardware to secure the unit on a wall, pole, or equipment rack. Verify that the enclosure remains unobstructed so that seals and gaskets maintain IP67 protection.
• Connect and power up: Connect the uplink PoE source to the input port. Then connect your two PoE-powered devices to the two output ports. If your switch supports PoE, the extender will receive power from the uplink and begin supplying power to the connected devices.
• Verify operation: Check the LED indicators for link status and activity on both output ports. Confirm that each device powers on and communicates on the network. If issues arise, inspect cable integrity, port status, and ensure the total PoE budget is not exceeded by the connected devices.
• Test and document the installation: Run functional tests for camera feeds, wireless access points, or other devices. Document cable routes, port assignments, and power budgets for future maintenance and scalability.
