The DPE-302GE 2-Port Gigabit PoE Extender allows a Gigabit Power-over-Ethernet connection to be extended up to 500m. With several mounting options, the DPE-302GE allows PoE devices to be deployed virtually anywhere over longer distances, eliminating the need for a nearby power outlet and attached power supply. The DPE-302GE offers a plug-and-play PoE solution, capable of transmitting up to 10 to 28 W of output power. It allows connection of up to two devices over a maximum distance of 500 m by daisy-chaining up to 4 units. With support for PoE/PoE+ and Gigabit speeds, the DPE-302GE is designed to be deployed in situations with high bandwidth requirements, over long distances. The DPE-302GE is powered by consuming only a very small fraction of PoE power. Combined with three flexible methods of mounting (built-in magnet, screw anchors, and Velcro), the DPE-302GE can be deployed virtually anywhere. This PoE solution frees network devices from the restrictions of power availability by removing the need for a local power source. The DPE-302GE has built-in 4 kV surge protection and is also capable of operating in temperatures of up to 60 C (140 F), allowing it to be deployed in harsher environments. The DPE-302GE 2-Port Gigabit PoE Extender intelligently communicates the maximum available current with a Powered Device (PD). This protection feature keeps the device safe from damage by preventing it from powering on in case there is not enough current. This safety feature can also automatically disable the port in the event of an electrical short circuit.
