A POE repeater’s primary purpose is to enhance Power over Ethernet. It receives a POE signal from a source, such as an injector or a switch, and sends it to a further device after processing it. Generally, the distance POE repeaters extend comes in handy when standard distance is insufficient. For example, a POE repeater can be installed in IP camera systems located at the far end of long-corridor buildings. The device boosts the data power signals to a level that the camera can receive. This ensures that the camera can function and send data back to the network. In this manner the repeaters help eliminate complications caused by the length of the cables in a POE based network.
