The transmission distance of the monitoring POE network cable is generally 100 meters, which is based on the limitation of the IEEE 802.3af/at standard and is mainly affected by signal attenuation and power supply. Within this range, the network cable can transmit data and power at the same time to ensure the normal operation of the monitoring equipment. However, in actual wiring, the transmission distance will also be affected by the quality of the network cable, the power consumption of the equipment and the wiring environment.
If you need to exceed the transmission distance of 100 meters, you can choose the following methods:
- POE extender: By adding equipment to extend the distance, it can be easily extended to 200 meters or even farther.
- Relay switch: Add a switch in the middle of the transmission path, and extend each section by 100 meters, which is suitable for medium and long distance wiring.
- Fiber + POE converter: When the distance needs to reach hundreds of meters or even kilometers, fiber optic transmission is the best solution, with both high speed and stability.
It is crucial to use high-quality network cables, such as pure copper network cables produced by PKT factories. Compared with ordinary network cables, PKT’s pure copper material has higher transmission stability and stronger anti-interference ability, especially in long-distance POE wiring. In addition, PKT Factory supports customized services. Whether it is cable length, shielding requirements or color selection, it can be flexibly adjusted according to needs to provide a more professional solution for your monitoring system.
Choose PKT Factory to easily solve the POE wiring problem and make your monitoring system more reliable and efficient!
