The ANPA AP-104JF-W is the fully outdoor-rated 1-in-4-out PoE extender, built to feed four exterior cameras or APs from a single weather-exposed cable run. It regenerates data and forwards PoE power from one input to four outputs (up to 30W per port, IEEE 802.3af/at), needs no local power adapter, and adds a waterproof housing, 6KV lightning/surge protection and wide-temperature electronics for pole, gantry and perimeter mounting. For parking lots, yards and building exteriors where four cameras share one location, it is the weather-hardened distribution point. Request a quote for outdoor project terms.

Product Overview
The AP-104JF-W combines the distribution power of a 1-to-4 extender with a true outdoor build. One uplink from the PoE switch enters the sealed enclosure and is regenerated to four outputs, each supporting 802.3af/at up to 30W at 10/100Mbps — so a single pole or wall box can host four cameras (overview, close-up, LPR and PTZ, for example) without four home runs back to the equipment room. The unit powers itself from the incoming PoE, so no AC outlet on the pole is required.
The outdoor protection is the core difference from the indoor AP-104JF. A waterproof housing with weatherproof connectors prevents moisture and dust ingress; integrated 6KV lightning/surge protection guards the long exterior copper run against storm-induced transients; and the electronics tolerate a wide operating temperature range for year-round reliability in direct sun and freezing conditions. A rugged pole/wall mounting design completes the exterior package.
As with the rest of the family it is plug-and-play with auto-sensing PoE and status LEDs, and it cascades with other extenders for staged distance. Each AP-104JF-W is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and produced in ANPA’s single 15,000 m² Chaozhou factory, where 8 lines, 16 sets of assembly/test equipment and a 9-step QC process with 100% inspection and full-load burn-in underpin outdoor-grade consistency.
Application Scenarios
Parking-Lot Camera Groups
A single pole in a large lot often carries overview, entry/exit and LPR cameras. The AP-104JF-W feeds all four from one weatherproof point, with surge protection for the long exposed run.
Building Perimeter & Corner Coverage
Mount at exterior corners to distribute one run to four cameras covering walls, loading docks and yards — waterproof and rated for direct sun, rain and cold.
Yards, Depots & Construction Sites
Open storage yards and construction sites need temporary or permanent outdoor cameras across wide areas; cascade extenders outdoor-rated for dust, moisture and surges.
Rural & Lightning-Prone Installations
Sites in storm-active regions gain 6KV surge protection at each exterior distribution point, lowering failure and replacement rates after lightning events.

Frequently Asked Questions
1. How many outdoor cameras can one AP-104JF-W support?
Four. It has one PoE input and four weatherproofed PoE outputs (five ports total), each at 10/100Mbps supporting 802.3af/at up to 30W — enough for a typical pole group of bullet, dome, LPR and PTZ cameras.
2. Does outdoor mounting require a power outlet on the pole?
No. The extender is powered by the upstream PoE switch over the input cable and forwards power to the four outputs. This eliminates the need for AC power at the pole, which is often unavailable or expensive to install outdoors.
3. How does the 6KV surge protection help?
Long outdoor copper runs pick up lightning-induced surges. The 6KV surge protection diverts these transients to ground before they damage the extender or connected cameras, greatly reducing storm-related failures on exposed perimeter and parking-lot runs.
4. Is it genuinely waterproof or does it need an enclosure?
It is built as a weatherproof outdoor unit with a sealed housing and weatherproof connectors for direct pole/wall mounting. Share your deployment environment when requesting a quote so ANPA can confirm the connector/ingress details for your climate.
5. What temperatures can it operate in?
The outdoor electronics are designed for a wide operating temperature range, sustaining operation through summer heat in direct sun and winter freezing. ANPA can provide detailed environmental specifications for your project on request.
6. Can it cascade with other extenders?
Yes. Multiple extenders can be cascaded in stages, each regenerating signal and PoE to extend distance or increase drops. Mix indoor units in sheltered zones and -W units on exposed poles within the same project.
7. What are MOQ and customization options?
MOQ is 2 pieces. ANPA provides OEM/ODM services (logo, packaging, labeling, documentation) from its own factory. Request a quote for volume and lead-time information.
