Antaira Technologies LLC unveiled the LEP-0302G-bt-67-T, a Gigabit Ethernet Extender that offers an IP67 weatherproof rating, industrial-grade durability and support for 802.3bt Power over Ethernet (PoE++). Optimized for long distance connectivity, when connected to a 90W bt PoE power source, it supplies up to 60 Watts PoE++ to connected devices, such as IP cameras, sensors and WAPs, while simultaneously transmitting Gigabit high-speed data.

The Antaira LEP-0302G-bt-67-T is a plug-and-play answer for PoE devices that must receive power and data but are deployed outside the maximum reach for copper-based Ethernet networking.

On the input end, the Antaira LEP-0302G-bt-67-T has a 1-port 802.3bt 90W PoE RJ45 input. On the output side, it can perform as either a single 60W Gigabit 802.3bt PSE port or two 802.3af/at 30W RJ45 ports. Automatic PoE awareness ensures that only IEEE 802.3 compliant devices are supplied with power; non-PoE devices are protected and solely receive data. The extender is self-powered by drawing from the input PoE.

To be certified as an IP67 device, it incorporates hardened components including water-resistant cable glands, a dust-proof protective housing, and a wide operating temperature range of -40°C to 75°C.
