Planet - LRP-101U-KIT - 1-Port Long Reach POE over UTP Extender Kit (LRP-101UH+LRP-101UE)

Product Overview

The Planet LRP-101U-KIT is a 1-port Long Reach PoE extender kit comprising the LRP-101UH injector and LRP-101UE extender, designed to extend both Ethernet data and PoE power over standard UTP cable up to 500 meters while delivering up to 25W to 802.3af/at powered devices. It utilizes IEEE 1901 Wavelet-OFDM modulation for robust long-distance transmission, features 128-bit AES encryption to secure the link.

Key Configuration

• Kit includes: LRP-101UH (injector) + LRP-101UE (extender).
• LRP-101UH: PoE PD input (802.3at/af, 48–56V DC); Long Reach PSE output (41–56V DC, VCC on pins 1/3/5/7+, 2/4/6/8−).
• LRP-101UE: Long Reach PD input (37–56V DC); PoE PSE output (48–56V DC, 600 mA, up to 25W, End-span pins 1/2+, 3/6−).
• Distance: up to 500 m with PoE output / up to 1000 m without PoE.
• Performance: 94/94 Mbps at 100 m; 30/30 Mbps at 500 m.
• Dimensions: 94 × 70 × 26 mm each; weight: 193 g (UH), 190 g (UE).

Key Features

The LRP-101U-KIT extends PoE and Ethernet over UTP cabling far beyond the 100m standard, reaching up to 500m with power output and up to 1000m for data-only transmission. The LRP-101UH injector connects to a PoE switch or direct DC input (48–56V), while the LRP-101UE extender receives the combined signal and provides standard 802.3af/at PoE output to the remote PD. Data rates scale with distance: ~100Mbps at 100m, down to ~30Mbps at 500m.

Technical Context

PoE output at the remote end delivers up to 30W at 100–300m and 18W at 500m, depending on input voltage and cable length. The long-reach link is secured with 128-bit AES encryption, and the system is plug-and-play with no configuration required. Each metal unit (94 × 70 × 26 mm, ~190g) supports wall-mounting or optional DIN-rail installation.

Installation Notes

Both units operate from -20°C to 70°C with 5–95% RH and store from -40–75°C. The LRP-101UH features 4KV DC ESD and 2KV EFT protection. LEDs indicate PWR, LRP link, PoE input/usage, and LNK/ACT status. The kit is TAA compliant and carries FCC Part 15 Class A and CE certifications, requiring Cat5e or better UTP for the long-reach connection.
