PoE Extenders, 4-port Receiver Box (POEXRX4) continued
If an external power supply is used, Panduit recommends the 110 W power supply (POWER-110W, sold separately or as
part of the POEXKIT4 and POEXKIT4-NP) for use with this device. This should be done in cases where the transmitter was
unable to provide sufficient power to the receiver for use by the end devices.
Each device connected to each of the 4-port receiver ports will be assigned a unique IP address. The 4-port receiver is
equipped with intelligence that "switches" Ethernet traffic to the appropriate IP device port/endpoint when it comes from
the head-end switch. It aggregates traffic from all four ports/endpoints in the other direction and sends it upstream to
the switch.
Note: The receiver is not capable of supplying power to the transmitter. The transmitter must always have its own power source
from either a PoE switch or external power supply.
Length and Power Guidelines
Data Transmission Only
Data transmission will always be up to 2,000 feet. If using the PoE extenders for only data transmission, Panduit
recommends only providing power to the transmitter. The transmitter can receive sufficient power from essentially all
PoE switches or the 60 W power supply (such as POWER-60W) to also power the receiver. Powering the receiver would
not power the transmitter.
Using PoE-Enabled Switch
If using a PoE-enabled switch to power the transmitter, only a 802.3af class 2 compatible switch port is needed
(providing up to 6.49 W to powered devices). This will power both the transmitter and receiver, and ensure that you
can have a 2,000-foot reach between them.
Using External Power Supply at Transmitter Only
If using an external power supply, Panduit recommends a 60 W power supply plugged in at the transmitter side.
Panduit sells the POWER-60W power supply either separately or as part of the POEXKIT1 and POEXKIT1-NP kits.
This will power both the transmitter and receiver, and ensure that you can have a 2,000-foot reach between them.
In the case where multiple transmitters are located in close proximity, such as on the POEXPANEL-BL and
POEXPANEL-WH, Panduit recommends the 190 W power supply (POWER-190W). This is a single power supply
that can power up to four transmitters.
Data and Power Transmission
While data transmission is always at 2,000 feet, the amount of power available is dependent on:
● The total distance of the link
● The type of cable used (23 versus 24 AWG)
● The powering method
This section will discuss the different powering methods and then provide information on how much power can be
available based on the type of cable used and the distance of the link.
Note: The system minimally requires power to be provided to the transmitter. If the transmitter has power, it can provide
power to both the receiver and the device attached to the receiver. If the receiver is powered, it cannot provide power to
the transmitter.
