How to install Intellinet 2-Port Gigabit Ultra PoE Extender

Setting up this extender is straightforward and designed to fit into typical PoE deployments without special tools. Follow these steps to ensure safe, reliable operation and optimal performance:

• Plan your layout to keep the extender within the recommended power budget and ensure the two output devices are positioned within reach of Cat5e or Cat6 cabling up to 100 m away from the extender.
• Connect the PoE source (such as a PoE-enabled switch or injector) to the extender’s input port using a standard Ethernet cable. The extender will draw power from this input to supply the two output ports.
• Run Cat5e or Cat6 cable to each output location. Use shielded or unshielded twisted pair cable as appropriate for your environment, ensuring cable lengths do not exceed the 100 m extension limit per output.
• Attach your PoE devices (for example, a security camera and a wireless access point) to the two output ports on the extender. Ensure each device’s power requirements are within the 30 W per-port limit.
• Power on the PoE source and verify operation. Check link/activity indicators on the extender and connected devices to confirm data connectivity and proper power delivery.
• Configure devices as needed for your network. The extender transmits data at Gigabit speed, so you can manage playback, streaming, or client connections without noticeable lag.
• Monitor performance during initial operation. If devices require more power than the per-port limit allows, consider spreading devices across multiple outputs or adjusting the original cabling topology to balance power needs.
