Ethernet extenders, also referred to as LAN extenders or network extenders, are designed to overcome the 100-meter (328-foot) distance limitation of standard copper Ethernet cables. One of the key advantages of using Ethernet extenders is their ability to leverage existing single twisted pair cabling (CAT5e/6/7), allowing network expansion without the need for costly rewiring.
When is an Ethernet extender needed?
An Ethernet extender is typically required when the distance between network devices exceeds the 100-meter (328-foot) limitation of standard Ethernet cables. It is especially useful in environments where installing new cabling is difficult or costly, such as industrial sites, remote buildings, outdoor surveillance systems, or legacy infrastructure that already has existing copper wiring.
