Network repeater LevelOne Gigabit PoE Repeater Cascadable

POR-0120 is a 1-port Gigabit PoE repeater designed for system integrators who need to extend Power over Ethernet (PoE) networks without additional configuration or external power. The device forwards both data and power over standard Ethernet cabling to extend a connection by an extra 100 meters, allowing network devices such as wireless access points and IP cameras to be installed further from the central PoE source.

Advantages

The POR-0120 operates without software installation and draws power directly from the PoE source (PSE), eliminating the need for separate power outlets. It supports safe PoE power delivery over Ethernet cabling, reducing installation costs and simplifying deployment. The repeater provides plug-and-play operation for quick setup and centralised power management when used with a PoE switch or other PSE.

Key specifications

• Ports: 1 PoE port + 1 non-PoE port
• Data rate: Gigabit Ethernet
• Function: Extends both data and PoE power up to an additional 100 meters
• Power: Powered solely by PoE from PSE (no external power required)
• Installation: Plug-and-play, no configuration required

How to use

Connect the POR-0120 between your PoE source (for example a PoE Gigabit Ethernet switch) and the powered device using standard Ethernet cable (Cat5e or better). The PoE repeater will receive power and data from the PSE and pass both along the next 100-meter segment to the endpoint. For longer distances, additional POR-0120 units can be daisy-chained to further extend range.

Recommendations

Use quality Cat5e or higher Ethernet cabling and ensure the PSE (PoE injector or switch) provides sufficient power budget for the connected devices. To maximise reliability, limit the number of repeaters in a chain according to device power and network design considerations.
