POE Powered 3 Port Switch for IP Cameras - Extend Cable Range

The POE powered 3 port switch is an innovative solution for extending your network capabilities, especially designed for IP cameras. This unique device is powered by incoming POE power from your existing POE switch or injector, eliminating the need for traditional AC power sources. With a compact design, it can be conveniently installed anywhere, making it ideal for various setups.

One of the standout features of this switch is its ability to act as a POE and data cable run extender. It allows you to surpass the standard 100 meter cable run limitation, extending your incoming data and POE transmission by an additional 100 meters across all three output ports. For those needing even greater range, the optional 'Extend Mode' can boost the POE and data transmission on ports 2 and 3 to an impressive additional 250 meters, although the data rate will drop to 10 Mbps when this mode is enabled.

Additionally, the switch offers two optional modes that can be activated via a dip switch: VLAN mode and 'Extend Mode'. VLAN mode isolates the three output ports, preventing them from communicating with each other, ensuring that each port only communicates with the POE input uplink port. This feature is particularly useful for enhancing security and managing network traffic.

Powered by incoming POE, this switch operates optimally with 30 watts of power. It consumes only 5 watts for its own operation, channeling the remaining power to the three outputs. The device is compatible with standard POE types (802.3af/at/bt), utilizing a maximum of 30W, with a total output wattage budget of 25W shared across the three ports, allowing for up to 25W per port.

Its low-profile design makes it easy to integrate into any environment. The unit measures just 8.25cm wide (11.35cm wide with mounts installed), 5.5cm high, and 2.4cm deep, making it a wall mountable option that can be installed on a flat surface or mounted on a wall using the included mounting ears. This versatility ensures that you can find the perfect spot for your switch without compromising on space.

In summary, the POE powered 3 port switch is an essential tool for anyone looking to enhance their network setup, particularly for IP cameras. With its ability to extend cable runs, optional modes for enhanced functionality, and compact design, it provides a reliable and efficient solution for your networking needs.
