Outdoor IP67 Waterproof Gigabit PoE Passthrough Switch - PoE Extender

In this review of the Outdoor IP67 Waterproof Gigabit PoE Passthrough Switch, the bottom line is simple: this small PoE extender is for installers who need a weatherproof, plug-and-play way to push full gigabit PoE to a remote camera or access point without running AC power. The unit is powered entirely by PoE and passes IEEE 802.3af/at power through a single 10/100/1000Mbps in and out port, so the main reason to buy is reliable, long-distance PoE extension in harsh environments where an IP67 build and simple installation matter.

Key Features

• Gigabit PoE Passthrough: Provides one 10/100/1000Mbps PoE in port and one 10/100/1000Mbps PoE out port to preserve full gigabit bandwidth to the remote device.
• PoE Powered: Draws power from an upstream PoE switch or injector up to IEEE 802.3at 30W, removing the need for a separate AC adapter on site.
• Extended Transmission Distance: Extends PoE reach up to 260m at 1Gbps and farther at lower speeds, making it useful for long cable runs to outdoor cameras and APs.
• IP67 Weatherproof Housing: Rugged ABS+PC shell and waterproof cap protect the RJ45 connection points from rain, dust, and snow for outdoor installations.
• Plug and Play: Automatic power detection and LED port status mean no configuration is required; installers simply connect the ethernet cable and the device powers up.
• Cascading Support: Supports up to three levels of cascading so one feed can serve multiple remote PoE devices when needed.

Who It's For

This PoE passthrough switch is aimed at professional installers and DIYers who need a compact, weatherproof way to power and connect a single remote PoE device such as an outdoor camera, Wi-Fi access point, or IP phone where AC power is unavailable. It is especially useful for long cable runs and installations on poles, walls, or other exposed locations thanks to its IP67 protection.

Those who need multiple Ethernet ports, managed switching features, or support for 24V passive PoE should look elsewhere. Also, if you require local AC redundancy or power greater than 30W to the remote device, a different powered solution will be necessary.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Weatherproof IP67 enclosure makes it dependable for outdoor camera and AP installations.
• Full gigabit pass-through avoids bottlenecks for high-bandwidth video or data streams.
• PoE-powered operation eliminates the need for a local power supply and simplifies installation.
• Simple plug-and-play setup with LED status indicators speeds deployment.

Cons

• Limited to a single PoE out port, so it cannot replace a multiport PoE switch in larger deployments.
• Does not support 24V passive PoE, only IEEE 802.3af/at standards.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does this unit require a power adapter?
The unit is PoE powered and does not require a separate AC adapter; it must be fed from a compatible IEEE 802.3af/at PoE source.

Can it drive PoE+ devices that need 30W?
Yes, the passthrough supports up to 30W input and output under IEEE 802.3at, subject to the upstream injector or switch capacity.

Is it weatherproof for outdoor pole mounting?
Yes, the IP67 ABS+PC housing and waterproof cap protect the RJ45 interface for outdoor use in rain, dust, and snow.
