Frequently Asked Questions
What is a PoE over 2-wire retrofit extender used for?
A PoE over 2-wire retrofit extender allows you to deliver power and network data through existing 2-wire cabling without installing new Ethernet infrastructure. It's ideal for buildings where rewiring is impractical, expensive, or impossible due to structural constraints.
Can I use this extender with existing coaxial cabling?
Yes. The Ubiquiti PoE extender supports both twisted-pair and coaxial 2-wire cabling, making it versatile for various legacy installations and retrofit scenarios where different cable types are already in place.
How much power does the PoE over 2-wire extender deliver?
The transmitter accepts PoE++ input (up to 90W) and the receiver delivers PoE/PoE+ output (up to 30W), providing sufficient power for access points, cameras, and other PoE-powered devices in retrofit deployments.
Is rewiring required for installation?
No. This 2-wire PoE retrofit solution is specifically designed to work with existing cabling infrastructure, eliminating the need for new Ethernet runs and reducing installation time and costs in renovation and retrofit projects.
