Gigabit Ethernet POE Extender 1 Port 60W - 2 Ports 30W Out POE

In this review the Gigabit Ethernet POE Extender proves to be a focused tool for network installers and small-site integrators who need to push Power over Ethernet beyond standard cable limits. The bottom line: this extender is for situations where a single PoE feed must be split and extended another 100 meters without adding a local power supply. The reviewer found it straightforward to install, compliant with common PoE standards, and especially useful when running Cat5e or Cat6 cabling between switches and remote devices.

Key Features

• Standards compatibility: Works with IEEE802.3af, IEEE802.3at and IEEE802.3bt devices so it can handle a wide range of PoE cameras and access points without negotiation failures.
• PoE passthrough: Accepts one PoE input and provides two PoE outputs with up to 30W on each port for powering multiple remote devices from a single source.
• Damage protection: Built-in automatic detection and protection helps prevent damage from incorrect installation or incompatible devices.
• Range extension: Extends both PoE and Ethernet an additional 100 meters, letting installers place devices well beyond the 100 m limit of a single run.
• No extra power required: The unit runs from the incoming PoE source so there is no need to find a local AC outlet at the intermediate location.
• Easy setup: Plug-and-play installation with common Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a cable makes deployment fast and predictable.

Who It's For

This product is best for network technicians, CCTV installers and small business IT teams that need to extend a PoE feed to two devices without adding power at the midpoint. It fits installations where the incoming PoE injector or switch can supply sufficient wattage for both downstream devices and the extender itself.

It is not aimed at large enterprise racks that require managed switching features or at sites that need local AC-powered redundancy; those buyers should consider powered or managed PoE switches. Also, if your PoE budget is tight for very high-draw devices you will want to verify the source can supply a combined load before relying on passthrough extension.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Compact device that extends Ethernet and PoE by 100 meters without local power.
• Supports IEEE802.3af/at/bt standards so it works with a wide variety of modern PoE devices.
• Simple plug-and-play setup using Cat5/5e/6/6a cable keeps installation time low.
• Built-in protection reduces risk of damage from incorrect wiring or incompatible devices.

Cons

• Requires sufficient power from the single PoE input to supply two downstream devices, which may limit use with very high-power equipment.
• No managed features or local power option for redundancy in critical deployments.

Our Verdict

The Gigabit Ethernet POE Extender is a practical, cost-effective option when you need to split and extend a PoE feed without adding a local power source. Installers will value the wide standards compatibility and simple plug-and-play use, while buyers who need managed switching or local redundancy should look elsewhere. For mid-range PoE deployments it represents good value and predictable performance.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can this extender power two devices at the same time?
Yes, it accepts one PoE input and provides two PoE outputs, but the source must supply enough combined wattage for both downstream devices.

Do I need a separate power supply?
No, the unit runs from the incoming PoE and does not require an additional local power supply.

What cable should I use?
Use Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6 or Cat6a cable; higher-grade cable like Cat6a is recommended for best Gigabit performance over longer runs.
