The OmniConverter GXPoE+/S and GXHPoE/S are unmanaged gigabit PoE Extenders designed to extend Ethernet data and Power over Ethernet (PoE) beyond the typical 100-meter limit of twisted pair copper cabling.

These PoE Extenders provide a cost-effective solution for extending connectivity to remote PoE devices where external power is unavailable or difficult to provision, and where replacing copper with fiber is cost-prohibitive.

The OmniConverter PoE Extenders support 10/100/1000BASE-T Ethernet and function as both Powered Devices (PD) and Power Sourcing Equipment (PSE), eliminating the need for external AC power. They feature one PoE/PD port and one or two PoE/PSE ports and can be powered by an IEEE 802.3at or High-Power (HPoE) 60W power source, such as an OmniConverter GHPoEBT/Sx or GHPoEBT/M PSE switch.

With their data regeneration and voltage boosting capabilities, these extenders can be daisy-chained to surpass the Ethernet copper distance barrier, delivering 10/100/1000 data and power to multiple PoE powered devices.

To combat voltage drop due to cable resistance, the OmniConverter PoE Extenders employ Smart Voltage-Boosting Technology to maintain standard-compliant PoE voltage levels between hops.

The extenders automatically negotiate and deliver the necessary power level to connected Powered Devices (PD). For data-only applications, such as connecting a laptop, the extenders ensure no power is applied.

The OmniConverter PoE Extenders are plug-and-play devices supporting auto-negotiation of data rates and duplex modes, simplifying in-line installation to extend network distances instantly. They become fully operational when a PSE is connected to the PoE/PD port, displaying power and operational status even without a PD attached, facilitating installation and troubleshooting.

These extenders can be mounted on walls, racks, or DIN-rails using the optional DIN-rail mounting clip kit.
