The ComNet™ CNFE1RPT is an Ethernet repeater supporting up to 60 watts of
Pass-through PoE, providing a simple and cost-effective way to extend Ethernet
signals beyond the standard Ethernet 328 foot (100 meter) limit. The CNFE1RPT can
be used to double the distance to 656 feet (200 meters) or multiple units can be
combined in series with each unit providing an additional 328 feet (100 meters).
The CNFE1RPT is powered by pass-through PoE from a PoE switch or midspan
injector, requiring no local power. Low power consumption ensures that maximum
power is made available to the remote PD device.
The standard configuration passes through the PoE to the next device, or as a /PD
model, which acts as the final PoE unit in the chain and does not pass through the PoE.
Indicating LEDs are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment operating status.
Figure 3 on Page 2 describes the LED indicators for each light on the unit.
The mini CNFE1RPT units are stand-alone with a small footprint for use where space
is extremely limited. They may optionally be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of
ComNet model DINBKT4 adaptor. The CNFE1RPT/M compact tube design allows for
direct installation within conduit or other small enclosures. See Figure A on Page 3
for mounting instructions.
