What is the HX-COX902ME used for?
It takes an Ethernet link past the 100 m channel limit over Twisted pair, rated to 0–300 m at 94 Mbps.
Two units are needed, one at each end of the long run: the local unit feeds the line, the remote unit recovers Ethernet for the device. The pair is transparent to the network — the switch and the camera do not know the link has been extended.
How far and how fast?
The rated distance is 0–300 m and the rated throughput is 94 Mbps. Distance and speed trade against each other: running closer to the limit is where link stability is first lost, especially on cable with marginal terminations.
Twisted pair at these distances needs to be good cable, not alarm wire. Check pair continuity and termination before blaming the extender — the most common install failure is a cable that was never tested.
How is it powered?
Power input is DC 5–12 V through a 5.5×2.1 mm jack. The remote unit therefore needs a local supply at the far end.
Interfaces: RJ45 network side, RJ45 or Phoenix terminal on the line side.
Extender or PoE extender — which one?
A PoE extender carries power as well as data and is the right choice when the far-end device is PoE-powered. A plain network extender carries data only, so the device needs its own supply — simpler electrically, but it means a power point at the far end.
This model is the data-only type: plan the power run alongside it.
FAQ
Can I chain more than one pair?
Each hop has to be powered and each hop adds latency and a failure point. One hop covers the 100–300 m range most sites actually need; past that, fibre is the cleaner answer.
Does it support PoE passthrough?
No — this variant carries data only, so the far-end device needs its own power supply.
Will it work with any switch?
It is transparent at the Ethernet layer: the switch sees a normal 94 Mbps link. No configuration is required on either side.
What cable should the run use?
Solid-copper twisted pair of the category the link speed requires, terminated and tested end to end. Copper-clad aluminium will fail at these distances long before the rated figure.
