When it comes to long-distance surveillance system construction, solving cable length limitations and power supply issues are always the biggest challenges for installers and systems integrators. Given the limitations of data-transfer over Ethernet, the previous maximum distance between a PoE switch and network cameras was 100 metres. However, with Vivotek’s new PoE extender technology, installers and systems integrators can now build wider networks while maintaining reliability.

Making good its ongoing commitment to being a total surveillance solution provider, Vivotek has developed a 4-port indoor PoE extender, the AP-FXC-0400; a 1-port outdoor PoE extender, the AP-FXC-0150; and a 2-port outdoor PoE extender. the AP-FXC-0250. Adopting Vivotek’s AP-FXC-0400, AP-FXC-0150 and AP-FXC-0250, these injectors are designed to be an ideal choice for installers that require high quality and robust surveillance without the need for extra power supplies.

The AP-FXC-0400, 4-port indoor PoE extender, is specially engineered for a wall mount application. With 1 PoE-in port and 4 PoE-out, the extender can connect with 1 high power PoE switch at the back-end while connecting with 4 network cameras at the front-end. All connections may add up to 100 metres of connectivity to the existing network.

With 1 PoE-in port, the AP-FXC-0150 supports 1 PoE-out while AP-FXC-0250 supports 2 PoE-out. In addition, designed with IP66 rated housings, both PoE extenders can endure wide temperature ranges between -20°C ~ 60°C. By adopting the Vivotek AP-FXC-0150 and AP-FXC-0250, outdoor PoE extenders, installers are able to build a high quality and robust outdoor surveillance system simply, while remaining confident of its ongoing stability and integrity.
