Nitek ER8500U IP Video Network Extender, Port with Gigabit PoE Switch

Bring reliable power and long-distance IP connectivity to remote surveillance and security devices with the Nitek Etherstretch ER8500U IP video network extender and Gigabit PoE switch. Designed for security integrators and IT teams, this Nitek network switch receiver converts ordinary 4-pair category cable into a high-speed data and PoE path—supporting distances up to 600 meters (1,960 ft) and eight downstream ports for IP cameras, access points, or sensors. With Gigabit-capable Ethernet ports, a 250W PoE budget, and Layer 2 features like IGMP snooping and port mirroring, the ER8500U maintains smooth video streams and dependable performance in multi-camera deployments. Installation is fast and economical: the receiver transparently pairs with ET1500U transmitters (sold separately) with no IP or MAC configuration required, making it ideal for retrofit projects or new surveillance builds. Rack-mountable and RoHS-compliant, the ER8500U helps you extend coverage, simplify wiring, and consolidate power at the edge. Add the ER8500U to your next CCTV, monitoring, or access control deployment for a plug-and-play extender and PoE switch solution.
