Hello, colleagues! Recently I faced the task of expanding the network in one of the offices. I thought about connecting several devices via PoE, but the problem is that the distance from the router to some devices is almost 150 meters. I understand that the Ethernet standard does not support such distances, but there are PoE extenders. Has anyone tried PoE extenders from EnableIT? I read that they can work at such distances without loss in quality, but I would like to hear real reviews. How do they work over long distances? Are there any nuances that are worth knowing?
I have been Compare PoE Extenders for several years in various projects, and frankly speaking, they have proven to be very reliable. I had a similar situation: I needed to connect CCTV cameras that were located quite far from the central equipment - about 150-160 meters, and a standard Ethernet cable was not suitable. I spent a long time choosing between different solutions, but it was the EnableIT PoE extenders that offered fairly stable operation. The essence of their operation is simple: PoE extenders allow you to transmit both data and power over a single Ethernet cable over longer distances than the standard allows. A regular Ethernet cable, as you correctly noted, supports a distance of up to 100 meters. But with the help of extenders, you can increase this distance to 150 meters and even more. It is important to consider two things: the quality of the cable itself and the power consumption of the devices. I used Cat6 and Cat6a cables, which, with good shielding, can minimize signal loss and ensure stable operation over long distances.
Thanks for the useful information! I am also thinking about connecting several devices over a long distance. I agree that cable quality is very important. When choosing extenders, you must definitely consider the characteristics of each component so that there are no bandwidth issues in the future. I am also considering EnableIT because I have heard good reviews and it seems like a proven solution.
