Setup
The Binardat PoE Extender is designed for simple plug-and-play installation. Follow these steps to set up your device:
Connection Modes:
- PoE Extender Mode (Default):
Connect a PoE switch or PoE injector to the "PoE In" port of the extender using an Ethernet cable. Then, connect your PoE-powered devices (e.g., IP cameras) to the "PoE Out1" and "PoE Out2" ports. No external power adapter is needed in this mode as the extender is powered by the incoming PoE signal.
- Network Extender Mode:
If you need to extend a network connection to a non-PoE device and do not require PoE output, you can use an optional DC 9-57V 0.5A power adapter (not included) connected to the "DC-In" port. Connect a non-PoE switch to the "PoE In" port, and your non-PoE device to an "EXT" port. This mode extends the network signal.
- PoE Injector Mode:
To provide PoE to devices from a non-PoE switch, connect an optional DC 37-57V 0.5A power adapter (not included) to the "DC-In" port. Connect your non-PoE switch to the "PoE In" port, and your PoE-powered devices to the "PoE Out1" and "PoE Out2" ports. The extender will inject power into the Ethernet lines.

Each mode illustrates the connections between PoE switches, non-PoE switches, the extender, and cameras, indicating maximum distances.
Wall Mounting: The extender features mount ears for easy wall installation. Secure the device to a suitable surface using appropriate screws (not included).

Operating Instructions
Once connected, the Binardat PoE Extender operates automatically. Here's how to understand its status:
LED Indicators:
- PoE LED (Left, Orange):
- Orange: Indicates Power over Ethernet (PoE) is supplied to Powered Devices (PDs).
- OFF: No PoE is supplied to PDs.
- Link LED (Right, Green):
- Green: Indicates a normal network signal connection.
- OFF: No network link detected.
The device supports 8-pin simultaneous PoE input, utilizing pins 1/2/4/5 for positive power and 3/6/7/8 for negative power, ensuring stable power delivery.

Maintenance
To ensure optimal performance and longevity of your Binardat PoE Extender, follow these maintenance guidelines:
- Cleaning: Use a soft, dry cloth to clean the exterior of the device. Do not use liquid or aerosol cleaners.
- Environment: Operate the device in a well-ventilated area. The metal casing is designed for good heat dissipation, but avoid obstructing ventilation.
- Cable Management: Ensure all Ethernet cables are securely connected and not under excessive strain.
- Power Supply: If using an external power adapter for Network Extender or PoE Injector modes, ensure it meets the specified voltage and current requirements.
- Protection: The device features 3KV lighting protection, but it is still recommended to disconnect the device during electrical storms.
Troubleshooting
If you encounter issues with your Binardat PoE Extender, refer to the following troubleshooting steps:
- No Power/LEDs Off:
- Ensure the incoming PoE source (PoE switch/injector) is active and providing power.
- Check the Ethernet cable connecting the PoE source to the "PoE In" port for damage or improper connection.
- If using an external DC adapter (for Network Extender or PoE Injector modes), verify it is correctly connected and providing the specified voltage.
- No Network Link (Link LED Off):
- Verify that the Ethernet cables connected to the "PoE In" and "PoE Out" ports are functional and properly seated.
- Ensure the connected network devices (e.g., cameras, switches) are powered on and operating correctly.
- Test with different Ethernet cables to rule out cable issues.
- PoE Device Not Receiving Power (PoE LED Off):
- Confirm that the incoming PoE source is providing sufficient power (up to 30W).
- Ensure the connected device is a standard IEEE 802.3af/at PoE-powered device. This extender does not support passive 24V PoE.
- Check the power requirements of your PoE device; if it exceeds 30W, it may not function correctly.
- Slow Network Speed:
- Ensure all connected devices and cables support 10/100Mbps speeds.
- Check for excessive network traffic or other bottlenecks in your network.
