Extending PoE using a GS105PE switch
I have an IP birdbox camera on one end of a 40m cat5E cable with a PoE injector at the other end. I would like to add another IP camera near the first one. The PoE injector has a label saying 48 vol...
Hi DaneA,
I just received this morning a GS105PE switch and a 30W 802.3at/af PoE Injector, and I am convinced that this will be a good solution.
Thanks for your help.

Hi AMal,
Welcome to the community! :)
Kindly answer the questions below:
a. The GS105PE is a PoE passthrough switch which can only be powered by PoE. Since your PoE injector will be the PSE (Power Source Equipment) for the GS105PE, can it give power within the 802.3at standard? It would be best if you could post the specifications of your PoE injector.
b. What is the PoE class of your two IP birdbox cameras? It would be best if you could post the power specifications of the two IP birdbox cameras.
To know more about the GS105PE switch, kindly read the articles below:

Thank you DaneA.
This clearly a little more complex than I expected.
To answer your question:
My first camera has the following specification:
Imaging Chip: 1/3" Low light CMOS
Sensor Resolution: 1280x960p
Sensitivity: 0.5Lux (IR off), 0Lux (IR On)
Main Stream Resolution: 1280x960 @15fps, 720p @25fps
Sub Stream Resolution: 4CIF @15fps, CIF @25fps
Video Compression: H.264
DWDR: On/Off
3D DNR: YEs
Lens: 2.8mm
Field of View: 92°
Lens Mount: Board
Day & Night: Auto ICR switch
Configuration: Via web browser or CMS software
Recording: Continuous, Motion, Scheduled (via CMS)
Protocol: HTTP, TCP/IP, ARP, RTSP, RTP, UDP, SMTP, FTP, DHCP, DNS, DDNS, PPPOE, UPNP, NTP, 802.1x
Ethernet: 10/100 Base-T, Auto-sensing, Half/full duplex, RJ45
PoE: IEEE 802.3af compliant
Power Input: 12V DC or PoE
Power Consumption: 6W (Max)
Dimensions: 60x60x110mm
Operational Temperature: -20°c to +55°c
Humidity: 10-80%
I guess the relevant information is that it is 802.3af compliant with a max power consumption of 6W.
The PoE injector was supplied with the camera. Its claimed output is 48 volts at 0.3amp. I have no other spec, but presume it is 802.3af compliant as it was supplied with the camera.
I haven't yet bought a second camera, but need to be sure it will work as a pair with the GS105PE.
Do you think I might need to get a different PoE Injector for more power?
Thanks, Alan
