New Spacetronik PoE switches and extenders 2026 – How to expand monitoring cheaply?
Modern IP monitoring systems and LAN networks require solutions that are fast, reliable, and above all economical. The year 2026 in the installation industry is marked by optimization – instead of laying hundreds of meters of new cables, we are increasingly choosing intelligent splitters and extenders.
New products have just appeared in our store that solve the problem of powering multiple cameras using a single UTP cable.
Why choose the Spacetronik PoE series in 2026?
Before we move on to specific models, it is worth paying attention to three features that change the rules of the game:
- AI Watchdog: A function that monitors the status of connected devices. If a camera freezes, the extender will automatically cut off and restore power, performing the restart for you.
- Long Range mode (250m): Standard PoE works up to 100 meters. Spacetronik models with 250m mode allow cameras to be installed in distant garages or halls without additional amplifiers.
- Plug & Play: All devices are powered directly from the PoE line – you do not need a 230V socket at the camera installation location.
Gigabit performance and Watchdog function: Intelligent network stability control
In installations requiring the highest bandwidth and continuity of operation, the Gigabit Ethernet standard combined with an auto-diagnostics system becomes crucial. Models in this group not only provide fast data transmission for 4K/8K cameras, but also eliminate the need for manual servicing of frozen equipment.
Spacetronik SP-EPOEGW42 Gigabit PoE Extender
The flagship model equipped with 5 RJ45 ports, of which 4 output ports support PoE power. The device allows cascading connection and range extension by additional sections while maintaining full gigabit speed. It has a built-in Watchdog system and a high power budget of 44W.
External Gigabit Extender SP-EPOEGW32
A device designed to operate in more difficult conditions, offering 4 RJ45 ports (3 PoE outputs). Like the higher model, it supports the Watchdog function and gigabit data transmission, ensuring the stability of end devices in distributed infrastructure.
Active Gigabit splitters: Models SP-EPOEG42 and SP-EPOEG32
These are devices dedicated to the rapid expansion of networks inside buildings. They allow one PoE signal to be split into 4 or 3 Gigabit ports, respectively. Their compact desktop design enables easy installation in installation boxes or telecommunications cabinets.
Waterproof and long-range solutions (Fast Ethernet)
In places where distance is the priority and a speed of 100 Mb/s is fully sufficient (standard IP cameras, VoIP phones), Spacetronik offers a series of extenders optimized for range.
Waterproof Extender Switch SP-EPOEFW42 and SP-EPOEFW32
These devices are characterized by a sealed housing that allows direct outdoor installation. They support transmission over a distance of up to 250 meters, making them an ideal solution for building perimeter installations. They are available in variants with 4 or 3 PoE ports.
Economical internal extenders: SP-EPOEF42 and SP-EPOEF32
These models offer long-range mode (250m) and 4KV surge protection. The SP-EPOEF42 model has a power budget of 44W, while the SP-EPOEF32 offers 25W, which allows the device to be optimally matched to the number and power consumption of the connected cameras.

How to optimally choose a PoE device?
The choice of the right PoE accessory should be based on the specifications of the end devices and environmental conditions:
- For 4K monitoring and fast wireless networks: You should choose models from the Gigabit series (EPOEGW / EPOEG), which guarantee no delays in the transmission of large data packets.
- For outdoor installations: Waterproof models (EPOEFW) are essential, eliminating the need to use hermetic mounting boxes.
- For extensive facilities: Models supporting a range of up to 250 meters allow a significant reduction in costs related to the number of intermediate switches.
