10 Introduction to the Extricom Wireless LAN System
Overview of the Extricom Repeater
The EXRE-10 Power Over Ethernet (PoE) Range Extender is a unique product that doubles the
standard range of PoE, from the baseline 100 meters to a full 200 meters. It can be used both as a
standalone to extend the reach of PoE installations that are limited power source UL approved, and
as a complement to Extricom’s award-winning Interference-Free™ Wireless LAN (WLAN)
System. When used in WLAN implementations, the EXRE-10 enables Extricom UltraThin™
Access Points to be connected using standard Cat5e/6 cable up to 200 meters from the Extricom
WLAN Switch.
Continuing Extricom’s tradition of deployment simplicity, the EXRE-10 PoE Range Extender sits
in-line on the Ethernet cable and does not require an external power feed. The Range Extender
receives its power from the original PoE injector in the switch or from a PoE injector/power supply,
while it simultaneously injects PoE to the extended cable
