RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si and GXHPoE/Si
User Manual
Product Overview
RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si and GXHPoE/Si are industrial unmanaged copper gigabit
Ethernet PoE Extenders. They enable the delivery of Ethernet data and Power over
Ethernet (PoE) beyond the standard 100 meter limit of twisted pair copper cabling.
PoE Extenders provide cost-effective connectivity for data and power to remote PoE
devices where external power is not available or hard to provision.
RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si or GXHPoE/Si 2 and 3-Port Models
Front Panel
The RuggedNet GXPoE+/Si and GXHPoE/Si are 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet
extenders that function as both Powered Devices (PD) and Power Sourcing
Equipment (PSE). The front of the PoE Extender provides access to one RJ-45
PoE/PD port and one or two RJ-45 PoE/PSE ports.

RJ-45 Ports
The RJ-45 Ethernet ports support 10BASE-T, 100BASE-TX and 1000BASE-T
speeds, auto-negotiation and auto MDI/MDI-X crossover.
The GXPoE+/Si PoE/PD port can be powered by a IEEE 802.3at (30W) or
High-Power PoE (60W) switch. When powered by IEEE 802.3at or High-Power PoE

(60W), the PoE/PSE ports can provide up to 20 watts. When a non-PoE device,
such as a laptop, is connected to the PoE Extenders for data only applications, no
power is applied.
The GXHPoE/Si PoE/PD port can be powered by a IEEE 802.3at (30W) or High-
Power PoE (60W) switch. When powered by IEEE 802.3at, the PoE/PSE ports can
provide up to 20 watts. When powered by High-Power PoE (60W), the PoE/PSE
ports can provide up to 44 watts. When a non-PoE device, such as a laptop, is
connected to the PoE Extenders for data only applications, no power is applied.
Booster Technology
Due to the voltage drop across copper cabling, the voltage at the end of an extended
topology can be below the minimum IEEE voltage requirement for the attached PD.
RuggedNet PoE Extenders have smart voltage-boosting technology that boosts the
output voltage to 56 to 57VDC to ensure compliance with the IEEE specification
between PoE Extenders in a daisy chain.
Installation Procedure
