Altronix Corp PACE4KR 4-port Spe Poe Adapter Switch

Product Description

The ALTRONIX CORP PACE4KR is a 4-port Single Pair Ethernet (SPE) Power over Ethernet adapter and switch designed for extended-reach network and power delivery over a single twisted pair. It supports up to 1 kilometer of cable run per port, making it suited for long-distance device connections where traditional PoE switches fall short. The unit includes 2 uplink ports for integration into an existing network infrastructure. Security and access control installers deploy this device to power and connect IP-based field devices across large facilities or campus-style installations.

The PACE4KR is built for commercial and industrial access control, video surveillance, and building automation applications where cable runs exceed standard Ethernet distance limits. It fits installations requiring reliable power and data delivery to remote endpoints such as IP cameras, access control readers, intercoms, and similar low-voltage network devices. The 2 uplink ports allow the unit to be incorporated into a broader managed network topology. It is classified under access power supplies, reflecting its dual role in delivering both network connectivity and device power.

Key Features

• 4 SPE PoE output ports with up to 1 kilometer reach per port over a single twisted pair
• 2 uplink ports for upstream network integration
• Adapter and switch functionality combined in a single unit
• Extends powered network connections well beyond standard 100-meter Ethernet limits
• Suited for access control, IP camera, and building automation field device installations

Compatibility

Designed as an OEM-style solution for commercial and industrial low-voltage network installations requiring long-distance SPE PoE connectivity to field devices.

Installation Notes

Installation should be performed by a licensed low-voltage or network technician familiar with SPE cabling standards and PoE power budgeting. Power down connected devices and de-energize the uplink network segment before making connections. Follow applicable NEC low-voltage wiring guidelines and the manufacturer data sheet for port configuration and cabling requirements. Verify cable type and termination standards are compatible with SPE specifications before commissioning.
