LevelOne PoE Repeater, Cascadable, 10/100Base-T(X), 200m Range, 3x RJ-45 Ports

The LevelOne PoE Repeater is a professional-grade network device designed to extend the reach of your Power over Ethernet (PoE) infrastructure. By overcoming the standard 100-meter limitation of Ethernet cabling, this unit allows you to transmit both data and power to remote devices up to 200 meters away. The device is fully cascadable, meaning you can daisy-chain multiple units to cover even greater distances depending on your power requirements.

Advantages

This repeater simplifies network expansion by eliminating the need for local power sources at the remote end, as it draws all necessary power directly from the Power Sending Equipment, such as a PoE-Plus switch. Its durable metal housing ensures reliable performance in various environments, while the plug-and-play design allows for immediate deployment without complex software configuration. With its dual-output functionality, the unit provides flexibility by supporting both PoE-powered devices and non-PoE data connections simultaneously.

Suitable for

• Extending the range of PoE IP cameras
• Connecting remote Fast Ethernet PoE devices
• Expanding network coverage in large office or industrial spaces
• Professional system integration projects

When it may not be suitable

This device is designed specifically for 10/100Base-T(X) networks and will not provide Gigabit Ethernet speeds. If your infrastructure requires high-bandwidth data transfer beyond 100 Mbps, this repeater may not meet your performance needs.

Key specifications

• Maximum transfer distance: 200 m
• Cabling technology: 10/100Base-T(X)
• Networking standards: IEEE 802.3, 802.3af, 802.3at, 802.3u, 802.3x
• Ports: 3 x RJ-45
• Power consumption: 2.5 W max
• PoE voltage range: 44 - 57 V
• Mounting: Wall mountable
• Dimensions: 130 x 90 x 28 mm

How to use

Installation is straightforward due to the plug-and-play nature of the device. Connect your primary network cable from the PoE-Plus switch to the input RJ-45 port on the repeater. From the output ports, connect your target device using a standard Ethernet cable. The unit will automatically detect the power requirements and begin forwarding both data and power to the connected equipment. For extended ranges, you may connect additional repeaters in a daisy-chain configuration.

What to consider before purchase

• Verify that your existing switch or injector supports IEEE 802.3af/at standards
• Ensure the total power budget of your PoE source is sufficient for all daisy-chained devices
• Check that your network speed requirements do not exceed 100 Mbps

Usage recommendations

For optimal performance and stability, ensure that all Ethernet cables used are of high quality and properly terminated. When daisy-chaining multiple units, calculate the total power consumption of all connected devices to avoid exceeding the power budget provided by the initial PoE source.
