About the 828 Gigabit Ethernet & PoE+ Extender
The 828 Gigabit Ethernet & PoE+ Extender 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.
Gigabit Ethernet requires all 4-pair (8 wires) found in Category rated 5, 5e and 6
wiring. 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 to costly in
multi-story buildings. Fortunately, the Enable-IT 828 Gigabit Ethernet & PoE+
Extender can push the reach of Ethernet to more than (6) six times the typical
Ethernet distance over existing Category 5, 5e or 6 wiring (All 4-pairs required).
To increase the durability and use of the product providing maximum future technology
protection, the 828 Gigabit Ethernet & PoE+ Extender meets the challenge of modern
switched LANs and allows you to add features and capacity as your network expands.
The Enable-IT 828 Gigabit Ethernet & PoE+ Extender has been tested to provide full
duplex transport up to 1,000MB/s over CAT5 cabling regardless of distance up to 2,000ft
/ 610m.
* Actual throughput rate will vary on the quality of the copper wire, twisted pair and environmental
factors – but you can expect full wire speed regardless of distance or number of 828 Extenders
used.
