OUTREACH LITE
Ethernet Extender for non-PoE connections
OUTREACH Lite provides a simple way to double the length of a 10/100
Ethernet connection. No configuration is required, it does not require a local
power supply, and it does not restrict the throughput of the network link at all.
Extending network cable runs from an existing PoE switch port is as simple
as connecting OUTREACH Lite in-line with the cable. Cable runs of up to 200
metres (656 feet) in length are possible, by using a single OUTREACH Lite to
connect two individual sections of up to 100 metres (328 feet) each. Because
OUTREACH Lite repeats the Ethernet signal before it can degrade, the network can
be extended without any restriction on its data capacity. Thus the 200Mbit/s
bandwidth of regular full-duplex 100BASE-T Ethernet is maintained, for maximum
reliability and predictability of operation.
OUTREACH Lite can be used in combination with the OUTREACH Max PoE-forwarding Ethernet extender, to create connections of 300 metres, 400 metres or even further.
For example, to extend a 100BASE-T connection to 400 metres (1312 feet) without any bandwidth restriction, two OUTREACH Max units would be located at 100 metre intervals, followed by an OUTREACH Lite. PoE from the switch or injector would be forwarded by the OUTREACH MAxes as far as the OUTREACH Lite, so no power connections would be required along the connection.
Note: OUTREACH Lite is powered by PoE but does not forward it to other equipment. To extend network connections to devices that need PoE or PoE Plus, see OUTREACH Max PoE-forwarding Ethernet extender.
