The ANPA AP-102JL-W is the outdoor-rated version of ANPA’s 1-in-2-out PoE extender, engineered to live outside on poles, walls and gantries in rain, humidity and temperature extremes. It regenerates data and forwards PoE power from one input to two outputs with no local power adapter, supports IEEE 802.3af/at up to 30W, and adds weatherproof sealing, 6KV lightning/surge protection and a 250m extend mode for long exterior camera runs. If your cameras are mounted outdoors, this is the extender that keeps the link alive through storms and surges. Request a quote for outdoor-project pricing and OEM terms.

Product Overview
Outdoor surveillance pushes cabling beyond the controlled indoor environment: connections face rain, dust, UV exposure, condensation and — most damaging of all — lightning-induced surges on long copper runs. The AP-102JL-W addresses each with an outdoor-specific build. Its waterproof housing and sealed connections protect the electronics from moisture ingress in open-air mounting, while integrated 6KV surge/lightning protection shunts transient surges away before they can damage the extender or the cameras behind it.
Functionally it mirrors the proven AP-102JL: one PoE input and two outputs at 10/100Mbps, IEEE 802.3af/at up to 30W, and no power adapter required because the unit is powered by the upstream PoE. Use it to extend a single long exterior run or to fan one weather-exposed cable to two outdoor cameras. 250m extend mode carries data and power up to 250 meters at 10Mbps, covering gate-to-perimeter and pole-to-pole distances that copper alone cannot reach.
The outdoor electronics are rated for a wide operating temperature range so summer heat and winter cold do not interrupt recording, and the rugged housing mounts directly to poles, brackets or exterior walls with waterproof connectors. As with all ANPA products it is CE, FCC and RoHS certified and produced in the company’s Chaozhou factory under the 9-step QC program with 100% inspection — including electrical-surge testing relevant to outdoor equipment.
Application Scenarios
Perimeter & Fence-Line Cameras
Long exterior fences and walls demand camera spacing beyond 100m. The 250m extend mode plus surge protection lets you place cameras along the perimeter and repeat power/data outdoors without indoor enclosures.
Gate & Entrance Cameras
Gatehouses and entry barriers are both distant and surge-prone (exposed cable runs). Mount an AP-102JL-W at the gate to feed the entry camera and a secondary plate/overview camera from one run.
Pole-Mounted Twin Cameras
Street, parking-lot and yard poles often carry two cameras (overview + close-up). The 1-in-2-out design powers both from a single uplink, with weatherproof sealing for year-round exposure.
Storm-Prone & Rural Sites
Farms, depots and remote facilities in lightning-active regions benefit from 6KV surge protection on every exterior repeater, reducing equipment loss during storms.
Why Choose ANPA
ANPA has manufactured PoE networking equipment since 2006 — 20 years of production experience. Every switch and accessory is built in our single 15,000 m² facility in Chaozhou, Guangdong (with a dedicated R&D center in Shenzhen), across 8 production lines and 16 sets of assembly and test equipment. Our 3 R&D engineers and 7 QA/QC specialists enforce a rigorous 9-step quality control process with 100% inspection, full-load burn-in and CE, FCC and RoHS certification on every batch.
- Purpose-built outdoor housing with waterproof sealing for open-air pole/wall mounting.

- 1-in-2-out, 802.3af/at up to 30W, 250m extend, no power adapter — rated for wide operating temperatures.
- CE/FCC/RoHS certified; surge-tested and quality-controlled in ANPA’s Chaozhou factory.
Compatible & Related Products
Feed four outdoor cameras? Use the outdoor 1-to-4 AP-104JF-W; for indoor or sheltered locations the standard AP-102JL is the cost-effective choice. Pair with weather-hardened ANPA switches including the 8-port AP-1028PE or 24-port AP-10224GE, and see the Fast Ethernet series guide.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What makes the AP-102JL-W different from the indoor AP-102JL?
The -W model is built for open-air exposure: a waterproof housing with sealed connections for moisture ingress, integrated 6KV lightning/surge protection for storm-prone exterior runs, and a wide operating-temperature range. The port layout and PoE function (1-in-2-out, 802.3af/at, 30W) are the same.
2. What IP/weather rating does it have?
It is an outdoor weatherproof unit with a sealed enclosure and weatherproof connectors designed to withstand rain, humidity, dust and UV exposure in pole/wall mounting. Specify your installation environment when requesting a quote so ANPA can confirm connector and enclosure details.
3. Why is 6KV surge protection important for outdoor PoE?
Long outdoor copper cables act like antennas for lightning-induced surges. A surge can travel down the cable and destroy the extender, camera or even switch port. 6KV surge protection absorbs and diverts these transients to ground, dramatically reducing storm-related equipment failure.
4. Does it still need no power adapter outdoors?
Correct — it is powered by the upstream PoE switch over the incoming cable and forwards power to the two outputs. This means no AC outlet is needed on the pole, which is a major advantage for exterior mounting.
5. What distance does it support outdoors?
Standard mode repeats up to 100 meters per stage; 250m extend mode carries data and PoE up to 250 meters at 10Mbps for long fence, gate and pole-to-pole runs over exterior-grade Cat5e/Cat6.
6. What temperature range can it handle?
The outdoor electronics are designed for a wide operating temperature range covering hot summers and freezing winters in most deployment climates. Contact ANPA with your project’s environmental requirements for detailed specifications.
7. Can I mix indoor and outdoor extenders on one project?
Yes — a common design uses indoor extenders in corridors/sheltered zones and the -W outdoor models on exposed poles, all working with the same ANPA PoE switches. MOQ is 2 pieces; request a quote for OEM/pair pricing.
