Long-Range Ethernet Extender Kit
This StarTech kit extends a 10/100 Ethernet link up to 0.5mi (800m) over a single twisted pair or standard UTP cable. It is built for installers and IT teams who need to reach remote cameras, access points, sensors or VoIP endpoints far beyond the normal cable run limit.
Distance and Speed Trade-Offs
The standard 100m (328ft) Ethernet limit is replaced by two operating modes: a single pair delivers 100Mbps up to 300m (984ft), while two pairs drop the rate to 10Mbps but reach the full 800m (2624ft). Bandwidth and distance are therefore mutually constrained by the cabling choice.
Capacity and Protocol Headroom
The transparent bridge passes IEEE 802.1q VLAN tags, Wake-on-LAN, 16K jumbo frames and PXE boot traffic without modification. It handles typical surveillance, automation and voice loads comfortably, but the 10/100Mbps ceiling means it cannot serve gigabit uplinks or high-throughput storage traffic.

Questions about this item
Should I use one pair or two pairs of cable for my run?
One pair reaches 300m at 100Mbps; two pairs reach 800m at 10Mbps. Choose the shorter distance if you need the higher speed.
What does the 10/100Mbps rating mean once the extender is installed?
The link negotiates at either 10Mbps or 100Mbps depending on cable length and pair count; jumbo frames up to 16K pass through transparently.
Which Ethernet standard does the kit follow and what distance does it cap?
It follows IEEE 802.1 and extends the usual 328ft limit to 984ft at 100Mbps on one pair or 2624ft at 10Mbps on two pairs.
