A new Gigabit Ethernet extender designed for industrial and outdoor environments is now available, offering extended reach, robust power delivery, and IP67 weatherproof protection. The LEP-0302G-bt-67-T supports IEEE 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE++) and can supply up to 60 watts to a single connected device or 30 watts to each of two devices, depending on configuration.
When paired with a 90-watt PoE power source, the extender enables both high-speed data transmission and reliable power beyond the standard 100-meter Ethernet limitation. Installed in-line, it can double the reach to 200 meters and, when multiple extenders are connected in series, extend connectivity to as much as 500 meters at a reduced PoE budget. The device supports data rates of 10/100/1000 Mbps and requires no external power supply, drawing all necessary power from the PoE input.
The unit includes a single 802.3bt 90W PoE input port and offers either one 60W 802.3bt Gigabit output or two 30W 802.3af/at outputs. Built-in PoE detection automatically identifies compliant devices and prevents power from being sent to non-PoE equipment. This plug-and-play design allows quick deployment in locations where power outlets are unavailable or impractical.
With an IP67-rated enclosure and hardened construction, the LEP-0302G-bt-67-T is engineered to operate reliably in demanding environments. Its sealed, dust-proof housing, vibration and shock resistance, and wide temperature tolerance—from –40°C to 75°C—make it suitable for outdoor installations, manufacturing facilities, and other rugged applications. The design incorporates weather-resistant cable glands and supports the use of UV-protected outdoor Ethernet cables for optimal durability.
The Ethernet extender offers a practical solution for extending power and connectivity to remote devices such as cameras, sensors, or wireless access points deployed beyond standard network distances.
