Dahua DH-PFT1500 - 5 Port PoE Extender

Dahua DH-PFT1500 - 5 Port PoE Extender

The Dahua DH-PFT1500 is a 5 port PoE extender and Ethernet extender for IP cameras with one PoE input and four PoE outputs. Dahua describes it as a hardened PoE extender that works with conventional PoE devices to extend their maximum base transmission distance to 350 metres. Port 5 is the Gigabit PoE input and ports 1-4 are 10/100 Mbps PoE outputs; it mounts on the desktop or on a DIN rail.

Also listed as PFT1500.

Dahua gives the scenes as roads in parks and communities, malls, medium to large factories and construction sites. Here it suits sites where cameras sit further from the switch than a single 100 m cable run allows, such as a large warehouse, a long driveway or a multi-building site.

Key features

• 4 x 100 Mbps PoE Ethernet ports and 1 x 1000 Mbps PoE Ethernet port: Gigabit PoE input and 100 Mbps PoE output over one cable for both power and signal.
• All ports meet IEEE802.3af and IEEE802.3at; the red ports also conform with Hi-PoE and IEEE802.3bt (up to 90 W).
• 250 m long distance PoE, enabled by the DIP switch or on the WEB page, with bandwidth reduced to 10 Mbps.
• PoE watchdog detects the status of the connected device and restarts a failed port.
• Fanless, full-metal casing; working temperature -30 °C to +65 °C; lightning protection common mode 4 kV and differential mode 2 kV.
• Desktop mount and DIN-rail mount.

Common questions

How does it extend the cable distance?

Dahua says it works with conventional PoE devices to extend their maximum base transmission distance to 350 metres. Long distance mode reaches 250 m on a PoE port and reduces bandwidth to 10 Mbps.

Which port is the PoE input?

Port 5, the 10/100/1000 Mbps port, is the PoE input. Ports 1-4 are the 10/100 Mbps PoE outputs.

Does it need its own power supply?

Dahua describes a Gigabit PoE input and 100 Mbps PoE outputs, so one cable carries both power and signal. Its full load is 90 W and Dahua's test table assumes an IEEE802.3bt 90 W source, so check that your upstream switch or injector can supply enough power.

How much power does each output give?

Dahua gives port 1 up to 90 W and ports 2-4 up to 30 W each, with a 90 W full load across the unit.

Can it be mounted on a DIN rail?

Yes. Dahua lists desktop mount and guide rail (DIN-rail) mount, in a metal fanless casing that measures 150 x 100 x 30 mm.

Is it managed?

No. Dahua lists the management type as No. The PoE watchdog and long distance mode are set by the DIP switch or on the WEB page.
