Is there a limit to how long a cable you can use with the POE?

I pull wire for a living.. Your supposed to be able to use POE at the max distance just over 300 feet. Cheaper POE's will not push the power to the full distance. I have had some fail as low as 70 feet. Most cheap POE injectors fail around 120 feet.

my cable is from a room in the middle of my house, up into the attic and then outside to the back so maybe 30 feet. I would expect the POE distance to be based on the repeater / power unit specs not the cameras specs.

I have a short run (8 FT) from the camera to the router. From my experience with networking you got about 250 to 300 ft to work with.

If you use COPPER cat5 cable, you can run about 330 ft before signal degrades. Do NOT use cat5 CCA (copper clad aluminum) cable. It is stiff, brittle, kinks easily, and VERY unpredictable for signal carriage. Sometimes, you can get 300 feet, next time you're lucky to get 10 feet before problems arise. Spend the few extra bucks and go worry free. Get copper cat5!

aaprox. 330ft is the max length for Ethernet cable before the signal starts to degrade. At this point a booster would have to be put in line... I own this camera and currently have it 300 ft from the power source with no issues.

I believe the 802.11ae standard specifies a max length of 100 meters. You may be able to go a little longer, but you may have issues.

50 feet shouldn't be too long. In general, about 300 feet is the maximum for an Ethernet cable.

Nope. You'll need to purchase a separate POE injector. Make sure the injector is gigabit ready and is at least 802.3af (15.4w) compliant.

I agree, it depends on your setup. I had to buy one more cable along with a new root splitter with wider frequency range and POE filters to isolate the signal to only where I wanted it to go

Yes basically all cat 5 or cat 6 will support POE. POE only uses two wires that aren't used for networking.

Yes, you are going to have to use either POE adapter or purchase a separate power cord

Yes. If you use power cable with a sufficient conductor core diameter I suppose you could extent the cable with at least another 10 to 20 ft.

the 200 ma rating is correct however I wouldn't go that route since that is just an extra cable you need to pull in addition to the ethernet cable. I would look into buying a POE injector for $20.00 and save yourself sometime.

The camera has a short (maybe 6 inches?) cat5 cable with a female end attached to it that will connect with your cat5 wiring. I doubt you will find anyone selling this camera along with cables that allow the camera to be connected with your router. In my case, I needed 60 ft of cable. I purchased that separately. The length of cable you need will depend on where you mount the camera, and where your router is located. Search for Cat5 patch cables, and look for one that is the appropriate length for your installation. You may want to do PoE (power over ethernet) which means you only run a Cat5 cable, and not a separate power cable, since the PoE device can transmit power through the Cat5 cable - so your network traffic and power all run through the single cable. If you have a power outlet close to where you want the camera mounted, then you don't need the PoE, since you can just use the included power supply.

I have one Aircam hooked up at 90+ meters from the poe, using Cat6 cable, it has been working since September 2012, no problems whatsoever

That is correct. It is not set up for POE but you can make your own POE cable and use it that way.Search the web for making a POE cable and give it a try

I'm not sure if there is a cable length limit on the tester (I don't remember seeing one in the instructions) but there is a length limit of 100 meters in the Ethernet data transfer standards for Cat5 cable and I'm sure that the tester would have been made to test up to this "universal" standard.

You can add PoE to this using this device from Amazon WS-POE-5v-kit 5 volt power extension for Foscam or any 5 volt camera, via Power over Ethernet, up to 328 ft. with the optional 1.35mm to 2.5mm adapter.

The cable is only 20 feet so bear in mind you'll use up many feet of cable going around things. The good news is longer cables are available but mine cost me as much as the unit.

Just remember POE over long distances will be a problem.... its not solid copper... that's why its cheaper....its great for data only up to 600 feet +

No it's Ethernet port does not support PoE. Its DC In port is its only intake for power.

Brett, this junction box will NOT supply the POWER TO POE BUT IS COMPATIABLE WITH IN LINE POE.ED
