PLANET IPOE-176 Industrial PoE Extender, 1-Port Gigabit PoE++ to 4-Port PoE+ (IP30)

In a rugged factory floor or outdoor surveillance installation, the PLANET IPOE-176 extends both power and data to four PoE devices using a single 802.3bt PoE++ uplink. This industrial-grade extender eliminates the need for separate power cabling, simplifying deployment in space-constrained junction boxes and DIN-rail enclosures.

• PoE output: IEEE 802.3at/af PoE+ up to 30W per port
• Ports: 1 x 10/100/1000BASE-T input, 4 x 10/100/1000BASE-T output
• Data rate: 10/100/1000 Mbps
• Switch fabric: 10 Gbps, throughput 7.44 Mpps
• Jumbo frame support: 9K Bytes
• MAC address table: 2K entries
• Power consumption: max 5W (without connected PDs)
• Enclosure: IP30 metal case, DIN-rail or wall mount
• Operating temperature: -40 to 75°C
• ESD and surge protection: 6KV DC
• Forwarding mode: Store-and-forward

Why choose it

The IPOE-176 simplifies network and power distribution in industrial settings by using a single PoE++ source to power up to four PoE devices. Its robust metal housing and wide operating temperature range make it ideal for harsh environments, while the end-span and mid-span PoE input support ensures flexible integration with existing PoE switches or injectors.

Ideal use cases

• Remote IP cameras, wireless access points, or industrial sensors
• Factory floor and warehouse deployments
• Outdoor cabinets with limited power outlets

Good to know

The PLANET IPOE-176 is a Layer 2 switch with store-and-forward architecture, designed to receive power from an 802.3bt PoE++ source and distribute it to four PoE+ devices. It supports both end-span and mid-span PoE input, providing flexibility in various network setups.
