Frequently Asked Questions - PFT1200 Dahua Technology

What is the Dahua Technology PFT1200 used for?

The PFT1200 is a Hi-PoE Midspan used to provide PoE transmission for IP cameras, especially PTZ cameras requiring up to 60W.

How do I install the PFT1200?

Installation is wall-mounted. Use screws with dimensions as shown in the manual: 2.5-3mm diameter, 4mm head, 6.5-7mm length. Place screws 71mm apart horizontally.

What are the ports on the PFT1200?

It has two RJ45 ports: one labeled DATA (non-PoE, connects to uplink switch) and one labeled PoE (power-sourcing, connects to IP camera or PoE extender).

What does the PoE indicator mean?

The PoE indicator lights green when the device is supplying PoE power normally to the connected device.

Can the PFT1200 power multiple devices?

It has one PoE port that can power a single device up to 60W. However, it supports multilevel cascade with additional PoE extenders for longer distance.

What is the maximum cable distance for PoE?

Standard Ethernet cable distance is 100 meters. With cascading PoE extenders, distance can be extended beyond that.

How do I protect the PFT1200 from damage?

Avoid exposing it to lampblack, steam, or dust. Do not place on carpet or block air vents. Keep away from high temperature and humidity. Use only the specified power line.

What should I do if the PoE indicator is off?

Check if the power cord is properly connected and the power indicator is green. Ensure the connected device is PoE compatible and the cable is not faulty.

Can I use a non-PoE switch with the PFT1200?

Yes, the DATA port can connect to a non-PoE switch because it only transmits data. The PFT1200 injects PoE power through its PoE port.

What is the power consumption of the PFT1200?

The device itself consumes up to 65W (including power supplied to the connected device). It requires an AC 100-240V input.
