PoE Solution for Long-reach Distance
PLANET WGS-E304PT is an industrial 1-Port 802.3bt PoE++ to 4-Port 802.3af/at Gigabit PoE Extender designed especially for the point to multipoint PoE application. The WGS-E304PT can obtain a maximum of 95-watt PoE power from 802.3bt PoE++ input port and supplies a maximum of 70-watt PoE power budget for 4 PoE output ports, extending both the reach of Gigabit Ethernet Data and IEEE 802.3at Power over Ethernet over the standard 100m (328 ft.) Cat. 5/5e/6 UTP cable to 250m where up to 4 powered devices (PDs) can be powered at the same time. The WGS-E304PT provides a simple solution for adding PoE ports without running more cabling and achieves more flexible network applications without requiring an external power adapter.
Environmentally-hardened Design
With industrial-grade IP30 metal case, the WGS-E304PT provides a high level of immunity against electromagnetic interference and heavy electrical surges which are usually found on plant floors or in curb-side traffic control cabinets. Being able to operate under the temperature range from -40 to 75 degrees C, the WGS-E304PT can be placed in almost any difficult environment.
DIP Switch for Operation Mode Selection
The WGS-E304PT offers “Standard”, “VLAN” or “Extend” mode. The WGS-E304PT operates as a normal Gigabit Ethernet Switch in the "Standard" operation mode.
The "VLAN" operation mode features port-based VLAN function that can help to prevent the connected clients’ multicast or broadcast storm from influencing each other.
In the "Extend" operation mode, the WGS-E304PT operates on a per-port basis at 10Mbps duplex operation but can transmit data over a distance of up to 250 meters overcoming the 100m limit on Ethernet UTP cable. With this brand-new feature, the WGS-E304PT provides an additional solution for distance extension, thus saving the cost of Ethernet cable installation.
| DIP Switch Mode | Function |
|
Standard (default) |
This mode makes the WGS-E304PT operate as a general switch and all ports operate at 10/100/1000Mbps auto-negotiation. |
| VLAN |
This mode makes the WGS-E304PT operate as a VLAN isolation switch and
|
| Extend | This mode makes the WGS-E304PT operate as a distance extension switch and port 1 to port 4 can only transmit distance of 250m at speed of 10Mbps. |
Innovative Wall-mount Installation
The WGS-E304PT is specially designed to be installed in a narrow environment, such as wall enclosure. The compact, flat and wall-mounted design fits easily in any space-limited location. It adopts the user-friendly “Front Access” design, making the installing, cable wiring, LED monitoring and maintenance of the WGS-E304PT placed in an enclosure very convenient for technicians. The WGS-E304PT can be installed by fixed wall mounting, magnetic wall mounting or DIN rail, thereby making its usability more flexible. 
Plug and Play, Easy Cabling Installation
The WGS-E304PT can be easily installed by way of Plug and Play. It is used between a power source equipment (PSE) and the PD. The WGS-E304PT injects power to the PD without affecting the data transmission performance. The WGS-E304PT offers a cost-effective and quick solution to doubling the standard range of PoE from 100 to 250 meters. The WGS-E304PT is designed in a compact box containing 5 RJ45 ports, of which 1 "PoE IN" port functions as PoE (Data and Power) input and 4 "PoE OUT" ports on the other side functions as PoE (Data and Power) output. The "PoE OUT" port is also the power injector where DC voltage is transmitted over Cat. 5/5e/6 cable, and data and power are simultaneously transferred between the PSE and PD.
One Power Source for Multi Powered Devices
Is 100-meter cable long enough for a wide range of IP surveillance deployments? The answer is certainly not. To achieve the benefits of IP surveillance where IP cameras are installed in a remote location, PLANET WGS-E304PT is very useful for expanding the network already set up without worrying about the cabling distance limitation. In contrast, the conventional networking does not have the flexibility of network expansion.
The WGS-E304PT industrial 1-Port 802.3bt PoE++ to 4-Port 802.3af/at Gigabit PoE Extender requires very little installation time and does not require any additional setup or programming by using standard RJ45 cable from power sourcing device, such as 802.3bt PoE++ injector supplying 802.3bt PoE++ power, to the WGS-E304PT and converting power for 4 powered devices that are IEEE 802.3af/at PoE standard compliant, meaning any additional power adapter for IP cameras and wireless access points is not necessary.
