Netwerk-transmitter Edimax GP-101ET

The Edimax GP-101ET is a 1-port Gigabit PoE+ extender that increases Power over Ethernet (PoE) reach by an additional 100 meters (328 ft). It passes both data and IEEE 802.3at/af compliant power over standard Ethernet cabling at Gigabit speeds without requiring extra power sources or configuration. The compact device includes LED indicators for link, activity and PoE status and is suitable for extending connections to devices such as wireless access points, IP cameras and VoIP phones.

Advantages

The GP-101ET extends the usable range of PoE beyond the standard 100-meter limit, reducing the need for extra cabling and eliminating the requirement for local electrical outlets or power injectors at the remote location. Installation is plug-and-play with no additional power supply or configuration required. Built-in PoE short-circuit protection helps safeguard connected Powered Devices (PDs) and the network against power faults.

Suitable for

• Extending PoE feed to WLAN access points
• Extending power and data to IP/network cameras
• Providing PoE to IP phones and VoIP devices
• Remote PoE deployment where power outlets are unavailable

How to use

Connect the upstream PoE switch or injector to the GP-101ET input port using standard Ethernet cable. Plug the downstream Ethernet cable from the GP-101ET output to the Powered Device (for example an access point, camera or IP phone). The device functions immediately as a plug-and-play PoE extender without additional setup; LEDs indicate link/activity and PoE status. No separate power adapter is required.

Recommendations

For reliable operation keep individual cable runs within the overall PoE distance budget (100 m to the extender plus 100 m from the extender to the PD). Use quality shielded or unshielded twisted-pair cables that meet 10/100/1000Base-T specifications and verify that the upstream PoE source supports IEEE 802.3at/af to ensure sufficient power delivery.
