what is this unit exactly for, , capability of sending longer wires, better data flow & speed?

No, not exactly. Sometimes wireless access points are installed in areas where there is no electrical outlet. The POE device allows the access point to get its power off of the network cable. You would put this POE device near your router or network switch. Hope that helps.

Hello Steve:This device allows you to send electricity (power) to the Access Point, using the same Ethernet patch cable, from the switch to the Access Point.This way, there will be no need to connect it to an electrical outlet. Please note that the switch has to be capable of supporting inline power over Ethernet (POE).

The wireless unit will get its power from the Ethernet cable plugged into it from this unit. Only this POE Injector gets plugged into the wall, and the power goes over unused wires in the Ethernet cable to the wireless access point. This allows you to install the wireless access point without having to worry about having an outlet nearby.router-->ethernet cable-->POE injector--->Ethernet cable-->wireless access point (I have EAP-600)

The unit is to add both data and power over one cable. It let's you power ip equipment where there is no power outlet. Hardware must be POE compatible to work though.
239592
No, this allows you to power a compatible EnGenius router or access point using the ethernet cable you are already using to send data too/from the unit to your network. In other words, one less cable, or having to locate an outlet near the unit when its installed remote (in corporate installs)

This provides power over your Ethernet cable (POE). The unit is only to provide 48v (IEEE protocol 802.3af) to whatever is plugged in to the other end of the cable. It does not affect any other functionality. Note also that the device at the opposite end of the wire will also need to be IEEE 802.3af compliant in order to work correctly.

This is a "it depends". If you are using the new ac wireless standard and have a good signal it may offer noticeable speed improvement. As slower standards and/or signal quality degrades any improvement at the diskstation side will become unimportant. The real question is can you really get much 100Mbps real throughput with *your* wireless environment? Some may disagree but I find a wired connection to be the most dependable for high-throughput situations. There are too many variables to be more specific but I hope this answer will help at least a little.

I have also run more like 75' of cat5e cable and mine is working fine. I would trust the long cat5 cable more than the wireless link. Tech support's 10' comment was off-base.

everything depends on your setting and what you want to do, I probably wouldn't use this unit for the purpose ststed - I would get a repeater, they cost about the same, but - it all depends on the setting and what you really want to do - a 'network guy' should look at your setting.

I've used Cat6 and I'm getting 10GB with no problems. Note that I'm use 3 ft cables. Can't say if there would be problems with longer runs.

It's wire, use it for whatever you need. there's no set purpose, power, signals, what have you. just need the appropriate connectors and pins to make the connection.

If Im not mistaken, the data link is just a pass-thru, so if you plug in GigE, then it should work at full speed.The big part of these are the 48VDC that it sends up the wire, and then you can choose via a switch on the "upper end" what you want your Vout to be. Awesome units, just dont plug the wall wart into the "upper" unit..... (also dont ask me how I know, and why I bought this one as a replacement.... lol) They SHOULD have made them have different barrel sizes for the power inject and take-off... Other than that (dont hook them up at o-dark-thirty out in the field when you cant read the small labeling), they work great, and seem to transfer enough power to run IP cams and such over 50+feet of CAT5e.

2000 mbps on a gb switch just means full duplex. It means that you can transmit 1000 mbps in each direction. I can't find any info on the actual throughput or whether or not jumbo frames are supported. Even if you enabled them on both the source and destination, you would still have to run wireshark or some similar solution to know if they were actually being sent. Since there are QoS port assignments, presumably the switch doesn't function at wirespeed though.

Sometimes the extra ports come in handy when you expand, and the extra headroom provided by a solid gigabit switch keeps clogs away when running in heavy traffic from multiple sources. This switch is cheap enough to take care of needs like yours and most reasonable future expansions while still being a solid piece of equipment. Also, if you have computers with gigabit ethernet and want to add a network storage drive or server with gigabit, you will save a huge amount of time on file transfers vs a 10/100 switch.

No, sorry. I'm so happy with the performance so far that I haven't yet entertained the idea. I'd stick with Cisco-Linksys. My brother got the E-1200 a couple of months ago and he's happy.

I use UTP Cat5e, and respect to the distance I don't have idea how much long distance of wire can it support

It is like a normal TCP/IP cable. Except .... better. I now have six of them. There is a built in diagnostic map of the traffic. You can monitor the transmit and receive that are on different channels. It gets better. Since they are multi-channel for 3 units - each unit has a different transmit/receive channel (that would be 6 channels) between each unit. Unlike a hard-wired cable that is like the old phone party-line and must share - each one has its own roadway for each transmit and receive. Think of your FM radio having all the channels that each can carry information. It gets better. Each channel has 128 bit encryption for the channel, plus 128 bit encryption for the mac address for the box. Unlike wireless where someone can park just outside your house and break your encryption after a few of your logins, this requires them to physically connect to your electrical wires, then comes the impossible task of breaking your encryption. I use this for Netflix streaming, IP phone, IP fax, and 4 heavy duty workstations plus three NAS (network hard disk storage connected to a tcd

Greetings,I have not tested, however the makers appear to only utilize standards to inject power by design and simply passes data, see http://wifiqos.com/ . Hence you should get what speed can be supported by both end devices.

I don't know. For me, going longer distances I've used Ethernet and other methods achieving pretty functional and reliable results for extreme distances (e.g., windows remote - a free tool with windows (PC). Good luck,

Its pretty good in terms of transmission. I checked on modscan to see whether my loop is transmitting the datas or not. It really helped me to find that on RS485 communication. Speed was not my concern but the data being transmitted or received was checked.

for my use case it works faster that WD. I transfer files over LAN. Wifi will be slow.

This is a router, it transmits the signal that the modem is feeding into it. If you are suggesting that it is a range extender for an existing wireless router/modem combo unit, no
