One CPE at each end of the link (two for point-to-point), clear line of sight, outdoor-rated network cable, and the passive PoE adapter supplied. Pharos CPEs use passive PoE, not 802.3af/at, so do not connect them directly to a standard PoE switch.
We are a supplier, not an installer. We will go through the CPE210 with you before you buy — the link distance, which CPE suits it, and how the passive PoE will be run — and depending on your requirements and your area we can recommend a qualified trade installer. We have been operating since 2012 and you can visit our trade counter in Wolverhampton.
TP-Link state system-level optimisation for links of more than 5 km, given clear line of sight.
Passive PoE only (16-27 V DC on pins 4,5 + / 7,8 -), with a 24 V adapter in the box. Do not connect it straight to an 802.3af/at PoE switch port.
The CPE210 is 2.4 GHz; the CPE510 is 5 GHz with a 13 dBi antenna and a second port. 2.4 GHz can be more crowded, so 5 GHz is usually the better choice for a bridge.
Yes. IPX5 waterproof, -40 to 70 °C.
No. It is a Pharos product, managed through its web interface and the free Pharos Control software. For an Omada-managed 2.4 GHz bridge see the EAP100-Bridge KIT.
