Extended range feature not working properly
Hi
Just got the new model Zyxel GS1350-12HP switch and try to use the "extended range" .
After enabling the feature in web interface, I then connected my ethernet cable (around 250 meters) from switch to my ip cam.
Somehow the ip cam can only have the PoE power but no data transmission, so it won't work at all.
Anything have I missed?

Hi @Sakura_T
Glad it's working and yes, with better cable quality you should be able to get longer distance for transmission.
Higher standards of cable is surely a plus when you using extended range feature.

Hi @Sakura_T
May I know what model is your IP camera?
Also, what kinds of ethernet cable you use? (Cat5? Cat6?)
Thanks

Hey @Zyxel_Derrick
My camera is Samsung Hanwha WiseNet QNO-7080R, and the cable is common CAT5e.
Should I change to CAT6 one? It's kind of expensive to me.

Hi @Sakura_T
We have other customers use the same IP camera as yours and also use 250M CAT5e ethernet cable but no issue happen.
Sometimes the quality of ethernet cable may have an impact on data transmission
Therefore, we suggest shortening the cable length and test again if the issue still exist
Also, if possible, you can change to CAT6 of course due to the higher quality it has
Thanks
Best regards,

Just tested with 220m CAT5e cable and my ipcam is now working like a charm.
It does seem to have something to do with the cable quality, I'm guessing it can work in 250m if the cable is CAT6 or 7?

Hi
I would buy a S/FTP Cable only. You must take care that the Cable and Shield is propper Made.
