NETGEAR POE101 - Manual (Page 2)

Introduction
NETGEAR POE101 Power over Ethernet adapters are designed to supply operational power to
devices through an Ethernet cable. These adapters make it easy to extend reach of your wireless
local network. The POE101 provides an ideal solution for locating an access point in a building
ceiling or attic, for example, where it has optimal radio coverage without requiring an AC
power outlet. The POE101 can extend the placement of a wireless access point up to 328 feet
(100 meters)
