Cat 5 Extender

Cat 5 extenders can be found in use in a variety of hospitality, industrial and commercial applications. For example, a hotel may want to use IP cameras to provide an added layer of security to their facility. For ease of use, they purchase IP Surveillance cameras and find that many of the locations they want to monitor are more than 300 feet from an available ethernet connection.

Using the Enable-IT line of ethernet extension kits to run ethernet over a single or two pair copper wire can provide power over ethernet, a reliable connection and cost savings from not having to buy more expensive equipment to extend an existing ethernet network.

Ethernet Extender

The most popular product is the Enable-IT 860. Some popular applications of the 860 are: connecting multiple floors of an office building, deploying POE IP Video in distant locations, connecting multiple buildings of a campus together.

While the distance limitation of an ethernet run is 328', the Enable-IT 860 allows the distant locations to be connected over an existing single pair or two pair copper wire, removing the wiring part of a new run. Many buildings already have copper wiring installed between floors. Utilizing this existing wiring and connecting the Enable-IT 860 provides Full Duplex 100 Mbps throughput and can also be used to deliver voice out to 2,500 ft.

LAN Extender

The Enable-IT 860's most obvious use is to extend the LAN to a new remote location. As companies expand, they often move parts of the company to a new floor. Instead of paying for a fiber optic run, the Enable-IT 860 allows the network engineer to tap into an existing pair or two pair of copper wire to extend the network to the new location with high quality products at a low price, manufactured in the USA with a money back guarantee and lifetime warranty.
