The maximum allowed continuous output power per such
device in IEEE 802.3af is 15.4 watts and in IEEE 802.3at
is 30 watts.
Note
PD (powered device) such as IP phone, network
camera or wireless access point is a PoE-enabled terminal
that consumes energy supplied by PSE.

5. Hardware Installation
5.1 Before Installation
The POE-E304 is installed between the PSE and the PD; it is powered
by PSE and forwards the Ethernet data and remaining PoE power or an
external power supply to the PD. It can be installed easily by just Plug
and Play without aecting the data transmission performance.
1. To provide you with better PoE power and data
extension quality, we strongly recommend that you use
“Solid UTP Cable” when installing the POE-E304.
Note
5.2 Connecting POE-E304 to PSE
This section describes how to install Gigabit PoE Extender and make
connection to it. Please read the following descriptions and perform the
procedures in the order being presented.
There are 5 RJ45 ports in the Gigabit PoE Extender, of which the “PoE
IN” port functions as "PoE (Data and Power) input" and the four
”PoE Out” ports function as "PoE (Data and Power) output".
Step 1: Connect a standard Cat5e/6 UTP cable from PSE, such as
Step 2: The PSE delivers both Ethernet data and PoE power over UTP
Note
Caution
2. The POE-E304 can be installed with a third-party device
if the device complies with IEEE 802.3af/at standard.

cable to the Gigabit PoE Extender.
1. When the PoE-in-Use LED turns steady orange,
it means the Gigabit PoE OUT is supplying power
successfully from PSE.
2. If the PoE-in-use LED is not lit, please check the
remote PSE or the cable connecting to a PC or a
network device to see if the cable is correct.
Never connect any non-standard PoE PSE to the
Gigabit PoE Extender or else it will damage the device
permanently.
IEEE 802.3bt PoE Switch
Step 2: The "PoE Out" port is also the power injector which transmits
DC voltage to the Cat5e/6 cable and transfer data and power
simultaneously between the PSE and PD.
Step 3: Once the Gigabit PoE Extender detects the existence of an
IEEE 802.3af/at device, the “PoE-in-Use” LED indicator will
be lit steadily, showing it is providing power.
1. If the connected device is not fully complying with IEEE
802.3af/at standard or in-line power device, the PoE-inUse LED indicator of the Gigabit PoE Extender will not
be lit steadily.
Note
2. According to IEEE 802.3af/at standard, the Gigabit
PoE Extender will not inject power to the cable if not
connected to a standard IEEE 802.3af/at device.

5.4 PoE Power Distribution
The POE-E304 can obtain a maximum of 95-watt PoE power from
IEEE 802.3bt PoE++ input port and supplies a maximum of 65-watt
PoE power budget to four PoE output ports, extending both the reach
of Gigabit Ethernet Data and IEEE 802.3af/802.3at PoE over the
standard 100m (328 ft.) Cat 5/5e/6 UTP cable to up to 200m at the
same time.
