Planet 4-Port Long Reach Ethernet Extender LRE-104

The PLANET LRE-104 is a high-performance Long Reach Ethernet Extender designed for transmitting Ethernet data over UTP cables, phone wires, or coaxial cables across long distances. With four 10/100BASE-TX RJ45 ports and one combo RJ45/BNC Long Reach port, it provides outstanding flexibility for extending Ethernet to IP cameras, wireless APs, NVRs, or digital signage applications.

Offering up to 100 Mbps full-duplex over distances up to 1.2 km (phone wire) and 2 km (coaxial), the LRE-104 enables smooth analog-to-digital system upgrades without the need to lay new cabling. A built-in DIP switch allows simple Master/Slave setup, and the unit supports Daisy-Chaining via BNC T-connectors for further expansion.

Built with a durable metal enclosure and equipped with LED status indicators, the LRE-104 is ideal for industrial, campus, and community deployments requiring robust and reliable Ethernet extension.
