Intellinet PoE++ Extender: Outdoor Long-Range PoE Solution

The Intellinet PoE++ Extender is a rugged, outdoor-ready device designed to boost Power over Ethernet deployments while preserving performance over extended distances. Built to endure extreme outdoor conditions, this extender empowers network managers to position PoE-powered devices—such as cameras, access points, and other IP-enabled equipment—far from power sources without sacrificing data throughput or reliability.

• Extends PoE range while preserving data integrity, enabling IP cameras, wireless access points, and other PoE-powered devices to operate farther from power sources with minimal packet loss and consistent throughput. This means steadier video, fewer dropouts, and reliable connectivity across large sites.
• PoE++ compatibility delivers higher power for demanding devices without the need for additional power injectors in the field. This supports power-hungry equipment such as high-resolution cameras, PTZ units, and LED lighting, simplifying installations and reducing hardware clutter.
• Rugged outdoor design engineered to withstand extreme weather, dust, and moisture. The robust enclosure protects delicate electronics in the field, ensuring dependable operation in harsh environments—from searing heat to freezing nights and heavy rainfall.
• Plug-and-play deployment minimizes setup time and complexity. With straightforward cabling and intuitive placement, technicians can integrate the extender quickly into existing PoE networks, reducing downtime and enabling faster network expansion.
• Maintains performance with low latency and robust signal quality across extended distances. The extender is designed to sustain stable uplink and downlink performance, enabling smooth streaming, reliable data transmission, and seamless user experiences.
