Perle eXP-S1110 PoE Gigabit Ethernet Extenders transparently extend Ethernet beyond the general limits of 328ft / 100m while providing Power over Ethernet (PoE) to standards-based compliant devices such as IP cameras, VoIP phones and wireless access points.

This technology enables users to transparently extend up to four 10/100/1000 Power over Ethernet connections across copper wiring. Use single twisted pair (CAT5/6/7), coax or any existing copper wiring previously used in alarm circuits, E1/T1 circuits, RS-232, RS-422, RS-485, CCTV and CATV applications.

At the central site, the 10/100/1000 Ethernet Extender has full PoE support and operates as a Powered Device (PD) under IEEE 802.3af supporting end-span and mid-span power sources (PSE). Alternatively, the unit can be powered by the included 48v adapter. The PoE Ethernet Extender at the central site then transmits power over the copper wire to power the remote PoE Ethernet Extender and attached PD. The remote PoE Ethernet Extenders are classified as Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE). While using standard UTP cables that carry Ethernet data, Perle eXP-S1110 PoE Ethernet Extenders provide up to 15.4 watts of power to Powered Devices (PDs). For longer distance applications the remote PoE Extender (CPE) can be powered by a local 48v adapter. Learn more about PoE.

These simple and effective point to point Ethernet Copper Extenders are perfect for commercial buildings, residential units, hospitality environments, and connecting a remote office or private-network backbone to a corporate LAN … anywhere you need 10/100/1000 Ethernet communication links for PoE devices up to 10,000ft (3KM) in distance.

Perle’s advanced features such as Link Pass-Through* and Interlink Fault Feedback*, Loopback and remote PD reset*, enable Network administrators to “see everything” for more efficient troubleshooting and less on-site maintenance. These cost and time saving features, along with a lifetime warranty and free worldwide technical support, make Perle Ethernet Extenders the smart choice for IT professionals. eXP-S1110 PoE Gigabit Ethernet Extenders are also available with support for Extended Temperature Environments and PoE+.

eXP-S1110 PoE Gigabit Ethernet Extender Features

Extend Ethernet over twisted pair Extend an Ethernet link over category 5e, 6 and 7 cabling up to 10,000 feet (3 km)
Extend Ethernet over Coaxial cable Extend an Ethernet link over 75 ohm coaxial cable
On-board PoE Power Controller As a fully compliant IEEE 802.3af PSE end-span device, this Ethernet Extender’s PoE power controller provides compliant power provisioning and monitoring, properly sensing through signature detection whether or not the attach ethernet devices are PoE capable or not. This provides a safe connection for both PoE and Non-PoE capable devices.

Competitive PoE Ethernet Extender products operate as a simple passive power injector and will always apply power to RJ45 port pins which may result in damage if non-PoE compliant Ethernet devices are accidently attached.

Advanced Power capabilities
  • ALT A/B and legacy PoE RJ45 pin selection
  • Current limiting protection
  • Remote PD reset
Fully compliant 802.3af PoE PSE
  • Enable/Disable PSE power
  • PD signature detection
  • Over-Current Protection
  • PD power classification detection (Class 0,1,2,3)
Fully Compliant 802.3af/at PoE PD Only PoE Ethernet Extender solution that provides a Class 0 or 4 signature to PSE for proper operation with PSE equipment such as Cisco PoE switches.

Competitive PoE Ethernet extender solutions cannot be powered by Cisco PoE switches as they cannot provide the necessary PoE PD signature required by the switch. Without this, the switch will not supply power at all.
PSE Status Indicator A multi-color LED provided presents the status of the PSE function for easy troubleshooting of power over Ethernet connections
PD Power Reset (Port 1) Ideal for remotely resetting equipment, this configurable function performs a momentary power reset to the attached Powered Device (PD) on Port #1.

Read our PD Reset Tech Note for further details on this feature
Power Multiplier Selection When used with 4-pair cable such as CAT5 on the VDSL Interlink port, an optional internal strap selection on the Ethernet Extender will provide VDSL transmission data on 1 pair and power across the 3 other pairs enabling even greater distances for power transmission to be achieved.
Broadest range of PoE devices supported Support is included for a broad range of PD (Powered Devices)

  • IEEE 802.3af PoE (Alternative A and B)
  • Legacy High Capacitance PDs
  • Cisco legacy VoIP phones and Wireless Access Points
High-Speed Performance Utilizes second generation VDSL2 technology (ITU-T Recommendation G.993.). When operating under “Profile 30a”, Perle Ethernet Extenders can provide an aggregate VDSL line rate capability of up to 200 mbps.

Actual distance and performance may vary depending on the type / gauge and condition of the wire used and if required, the amount of power you require across the VDSL Link
Plug and Play operation Perle Ethernet Extenders will automatically configure your VDSL interlink connection. The CO/CPE peer association will be determined automatically by the Ethernet Extender. No need to set CO / CPE VDSL pairing.

Once a connection is made, both ends will automatically adjust relevant VDSL parameters to optimize the level of bandwidth possible across the copper link.
Link Pass-Through* With Link Pass-Through the state of the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection is “passed through” the VDSL link to the 10/100/1000Base-T Ethernet connection on its remote peer. A managed switch on the remote end can then report the state (link up or link down) to its network management system so that any errors can be detected and recovered early.

Competitive Ethernet extenders without this feature will never detect or report any error conditions.
Interlink Fault Feedback* Similar to the Link Pass-Through feature, a loss of VDSL link will drop the 10/100/1000 Ethernet port on each end until the link recovers.
Auto-Negotiation The Ethernet Extender supports auto negotiation on the 10/100/1000Base-T interface.
Auto-MDIX Auto-MDIX (Automatic Medium-Dependent Interface crossover) detects the signaling on the 10/100/1000 Ethernet RJ45 interface and determines the type of cable connected (straight-through or crossover) and automatically adopts a compatible pinout.
Fixed Speed and Duplex Some Ethernet equipment require a fixed speed and duplex be used or cannot auto-negotiate. By disabling Auto-Negotiation on the Ethernet Extender, a fixed speed of 10 or 100 mbps as well as Full or half Duplex can be configured through DIP switches.
VLAN Transparent to tagged VLAN (802.1Q) packets.
Transparent to IP Video compression protocols Fully transparent to such IP video compression schemes such as MPEG-4, H.264 and MJPEG.
Power Strain Relief strap A strain relief strap is provided to ensure a solid and secure power connection to the Ethernet Extender. Ideal for areas that may be exposed to vibration.
Loopback When enabled, will perform a loopback on the copper VDSL Interlink.

*Available on 1 port models.

Extend 10/100/1000 Ethernet across Twisted Pair or Coaxial Cable to a Remote PoE device

Extend an Ethernet link to a PoE device beyond the 100 meter (328 feet) limit using Ethernet Extenders. Distances of up to 3 km (10,000 feet) can be achieved over twisted pair Cat 5,6 or 7 or Coaxial cable. For long reach applications, the remote extender provides power to PoE devices such as IP cameras and Access Points. A locally attached AC Adapter is used.

Extend 10/100/1000 Ethernet across Twisted Pair or Coaxial Cable. Ethernet Extender Parasitically Powered

Extend an Ethernet link beyond the 100 meter (328 feet) limit using Ethernet Extenders over twisted pair Cat 5,6 or 7 or Coaxial cable. There may be occasions where even though there are no PoE devices on the link, the remote extender simply requires parastic power from its peer extender over the VDSL link.

eXP-S1110 PoE Gigabit Ethernet Extender Network Diagram with parasidic power

When there is a requirement for a PoE PD to be connected over a twisted pair link and no AC power is available at the remote site, the eXP series can provide power to the remote site over the VDSL Interlink. The remote Ethernet Extender will derive its power parasitically from the line and pass along the remaining power to the PoE device. The local Ethernet Extender can be powered by a locally attached AC adapter or by a PoE+ switch or injector.

If a 4-pair cable such as CAT5 is used for the VDSL Interlink, the power multiplier feature can be enabled which provides the capability to provide both power and ethernet over longer distances. This is done by providing power over 3 pairs of wires with VDSL data on the 4th pair.
