About the 820P Pro Extended Ethernet Kit
The 820P Pro IP PoE Camera Extender Kit solves the problem of high costs associated
with stretching your backbone with traditional fiber or a series of hubs/repeaters.
In many office buildings, preferred network access is a dedicated Ethernet line,
however Ethernet over twisted pair wiring has its distance limitations of just 328 ft. In
order to drive Ethernet signal further, one would have to add repeaters to each
segment of 328ft twisted pair cabling; this is often insufficient and too costly in multi-
story buildings. Fortunately, the Enable-IT 820P Pro Series Extended Ethernet can
push the reach of Ethernet to almost 3 times the typical Ethernet distance.
A simple design methodology would be to think of the 820P Pro extending a standard
Ethernet line with power (PoE) up to 800ft (244m) and can also include 2 voice lines
simultaneously.
To increase the durability and extended use of the product providing maximum future
technology protection, 820P Pro Extended Ethernet Unit meets the challenge of modern
switched LANs and allows you to add features and capacity as your network expands.
The 820P Pro LRE kit includes a high powered PoE switch kit and the 820P Pro unit itself.
