Network transmitter Repotec IPOE-E174 — network extender, 10/100/1000 Mbps, max distance 200 m, metal housing, blue

Repotec IPOE-E174 network transmitter is a passive network extender and PoE extender designed for wired Ethernet links with 10/100/1000 Mbps data throughput and an extended reach up to 200 m over Cat5/5e/6 cabling. Housed in a blue metal enclosure, the unit provides one PoE input and four Gigabit PoE outputs, enabling point-to-multipoint deployment where both data and power are forwarded to remote devices. The device supports high-power PoE input and delivers power to multiple downstream powered devices without requiring an external power adapter, while a Power LED and additional PoE usage indicators show the device status in real time.

Advantages

The IPOE-E174 extends standard Gigabit Ethernet and IEEE 802.3af/at PoE reach from 100 m to 200 m, allowing installation of remote devices without additional local power. Its metal IP30 housing increases immunity to electromagnetic interference and electrical surge, and the wide operating temperature range supports placement in demanding office, retail or industrial environments. Built-in LED indicators provide a simple, real-time view of PoE power usage, and the plug-and-play design removes the need for complex configuration.

Suitable for

• Extending wired LAN and PoE to remote IP cameras and access points
• Powering point-of-sale terminals, IP phones or small network devices in retail or office areas
• Industrial edge deployments requiring hardened housing and extended temperature operation
• Temporary or remote installations where running separate power lines is impractical

How to use

Install the IPOE-E174 between a compatible PoE power source equipment (PSE) and the remote powered devices (PDs). Connect the PSE to the PoE IN RJ45 port using Cat5/5e/6 cable; connect up to four PDs to the PoE OUT RJ45 ports. The unit automatically detects powered devices and forwards both Ethernet data and PoE power over the extended cable length. Mount the device on a DIN rail or wall surface as required and ensure adequate ventilation around the metal housing. No additional configuration is necessary for basic operation; the front-panel LEDs indicate PoE usage and device status.

Usage recommendations

For reliable operation, use quality Cat5e or Cat6 twisted-pair cable and ensure the PSE can supply sufficient PoE++ input power to cover the downstream power budget. Verify combined power requirements of connected PDs do not exceed the available output budget and allow margin for cable loss when operating near the 200 m extension. Use the device in environments within the specified temperature range and secure mounting to prevent mechanical stress on connectors.
