1-Port Passive PoE Extender Repeater for CCTV IP Cameras

Extend Your PoE Network Up to 120 Meters — No Configuration Required

The 1-Port Passive PoE Ethernet Extender / Repeater is the smart, plug-and-play solution for extending your IP camera network beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet limit. Simply connect it inline on your existing CAT5 cable run and push both data and power an additional 120 meters (approx. 394 ft) — keeping your CCTV cameras online without rewiring or adding new power supplies.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a passive PoE Ethernet extender and how does it work?

A: A passive PoE Ethernet extender (also called a PoE repeater) is an inline device that regenerates both the Ethernet data signal and the Power over Ethernet (PoE) signal, allowing you to extend your network cable run beyond the standard 100-meter limit. This 1-port model adds up to an additional 120 meters of range using standard CAT5 UTP cable — no extra power source or software configuration needed.

Q: Is this PoE extender compatible with my IP camera or NVR?

A: Yes, this extender is designed to comply with the IEEE 802.3af PoE standard, which is the most common standard used by IP cameras, NVRs, wireless access points, and other PoE-powered devices. It supports 10/100Mbps data speeds and automatically detects compatible PoE equipment, helping protect your devices from damage due to incorrect installation.

Q: Does this extender require any configuration or a power adapter?

A: No. This is a completely plug-and-play passive PoE extender — there is no software, no configuration, and no separate power adapter required. It draws the power it needs directly from the PoE source on your existing cable run and passes both power and data through to your connected device.

Q: What type of cable does this PoE extender require?

A: This extender is designed to work with standard CAT5 or CAT5e UTP (Unshielded Twisted Pair) Ethernet cable. For best results and maximum range of up to 120 meters, use quality CAT5 or better cabling throughout your installation.
