Network transmitter Dahua Technology PFT1300

The Dahua Technology PFT1300 network transmitter provides powered Ethernet extension for network devices over copper cabling. Supporting 10 and 100 Mbit/s Ethernet LAN speeds and IEEE 802.3af/802.3at power delivery standards, this compact unit enables data and power transmission up to 300 meters. Its small footprint (79 mm x 52 mm x 23 mm) and low power consumption of 3 W make the device suitable for installations where space and energy efficiency are important.

Advantages

The transmitter extends both data and Power over Ethernet (PoE) beyond standard cable length limits while maintaining compatibility with PoE and PoE+ devices that follow IEEE 802.3af and 802.3at. Its support for 10/100 Mbit/s links ensures interoperability with a wide range of network equipment. The compact dimensions and minimal power draw allow installation in constrained spaces and reduce ongoing energy costs.

Suitable for

• Extending Ethernet and PoE connectivity to remote cameras or access points up to 300 m away
• Small network deployments requiring low-power, compact transmitters
• Retrofit scenarios where existing copper cabling must carry data and power over longer distances

Key specifications

• Supported data rates: 10/100 Mbit/s
• Maximum transmission distance: 300 meters
• PoE standards supported: IEEE 802.3af and IEEE 802.3at
• Power consumption: 3 W
• Dimensions: 79 mm × 52 mm × 23 mm

How to use

Connect the transmitter inline between the network switch and the powered device using appropriate Ethernet cabling rated for the installation length. Ensure the network switch or injector provides PoE in accordance with IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at as required by the connected device. Verify link speed negotiation to 10/100 Mbit/s and confirm stability over the extended distance. Mount the unit in a dry, ventilated location and avoid placing it near strong electromagnetic interference sources.

Usage recommendations

Use Category-rated cabling appropriate for the environment and distance; verify the power budget of the PoE source to ensure sufficient power delivery at the far end. Test the link after installation and periodically inspect cabling and connectors to maintain reliable operation.
