Multiply your PoE network range
OUTREACH MAX and OUTREACH LITE let you instantly extend your
Ethernet network installation beyond its 100 metre (328 foot) limit.
Because they use Power over Ethernet (PoE) technology, OUTREACH MAX
and OUTREACH LITE can be easily fitted wherever network extension is
required, with no need for a local power source.
OUTREACH MAX extends Cat5e, Cat 6 or similar network connections to
devices that use PoE power, such as IP cameras and wireless access points:
OUTREACH LITE extends network connections to devices that do not use
PoE, such as PCs and routers:
As OUTREACH MAX and OUTREACH LITE restore the Ethernet connection
every 100 metres (328 feet), full-capacity 100BASE-TX or 10BASE-T is
maintained across the entire link, with no bandwidth restrictions.

Note that the LEDs on OUTREACH MAX will not light until the PoE source
and powered device are both connected
If the powered device is disconnected, then the OUTREACH MAX should
also be disconnected from the PoE power source. OUTREACH MAX should
not be connected to equipment that is not PoE compatible.
Maximum extension distance
By installing an OUTREACH MAX for every extra 100 metres of cable, PoE
and Ethernet can be extended for considerable distances, with no
bandwith restrictions or any requirement for electrical power installation.
The maximum distance from the PoE source to the IP camera or other
device depends on how much PoE power the device requires:

1. Non-PoE applications; using an OUTREACH LITE at the end of the chain
2. Not applicable; these power levels are for PoE Plus source and devices only
3. Extension is not possible at this power level with this power source
These figures are strict upper limits for installations using regular 24AWG
Cat 5e cable. Because actual power use and installed cable distances can
vary, using OUTSOURCE or OUTSOURCE PLUS is always recommended.
OUTSOURCE is an enhanced PoE injector and is fully compliant with the
IEEE 802.3af standard. OUTSOURCE PLUS is an enhanced PoE Plus injector
and is fully compliant with the IEEE 802.3at standard.
The distance limits for extension at other peak power levels can be checked
using the graph below:
Non-standard PoE
OUTREACH MAX can be used with many implementations of PoE that are
not IEEE 802.3af or 802.3at compliant. This includes high-current PoE, or
PoE which is “always-on” or uses a proprietary signature.
Four-pair PoE, in which current is carried on both spare and data pairs to
double available power, is also supported. See application notes.
