The FLEX series of adapters and extenders are designed to extend PoE far beyond standard Ethernet reach. When used with the FLEX24 Switch or the FLEX-Base Extender, the FLEX adapters can deliver 10/100Mbps (symmetrical, full duplex) and PoE (up to 50W) over 1- (needs local power), 2-, or 4-pair UTP/STP with up to 2,000ft (610m) reach. This helps eliminate the costs and disruptions associated with IDF closet requirements. There are three adapter options that provide deployment flexibility:
FLEX-LINK | FLEX-C | FLEX4 | |
