Re-use the cabling that's already there
If a site has any pair of conductors between two points — alarm cable, old intercom riser, doorbell wiring, telephone pair, single-pair shielded, or RG-6 / RG-59 coax from an analogue CCTV system — the UACC-Retrofit-PoE-2Wire turns it into a working PoE+ link. No fishing new conduit, no chasing walls.
Real PoE+ at the endpoint
The transmitter takes a PoE++ input (50 V DC / 1.2 A) and the receiver outputs genuine 802.3at PoE+ at 48 V DC / 0.6 A — enough to run UniFi Access readers, IP intercoms, G5 Bullet / G5 Dome / G6 cameras, U6+/U7 Lite access points, or third-party 802.3af/at devices.
Two BNC adapters in the box for coax retrofits
Each kit ships with two 2-wire to BNC adapters, so you can drop straight onto existing RG-6 / RG-59 runs from a legacy DVR install — ideal when you're swapping analogue cameras for UniFi Protect IP cameras without pulling new cable.
Up to 750 m on coax · 550 m on twisted pair
Performance scales with cable length: 85 Mbps and 25 W at 50 m, 85 Mbps and 13 W at 100 m on UTP, dropping gracefully toward data-only at the long end. On RG-6 coax data carries all the way to 750 m. Plenty for door readers, intercoms, mid-range IP cameras and access points.
Analogue CCTV → IP upgrades
Re-use existing RG-59 / RG-6 coax to deliver PoE+ to new UniFi Protect cameras (G5 Bullet, G5 Dome, G6 Bullet). No need to re-cable an entire warehouse, factory, school or carpark just to move from HD-CVI / AHD analogue to true IP.
Strata & apartment intercom retrofits
Re-use the existing 2-wire riser between the lobby station and each apartment or level distribution box to mount UniFi Intercoms or UA readers — without trenching common-property risers or coring fire-rated slabs.
Heritage & tenanted fit-outs
In heritage-listed buildings, leased shops and historic offices where you can't run new conduit, the extender keeps cabling work hidden inside existing chases and ceiling cavities — speeding sign-off and protecting your bond.
Long carpark, gate & perimeter runs
Drop the receiver at a gate, perimeter pole or boom-gate cabinet using whatever single pair the site already has back to the comms room. Ideal for boom-gate readers, intercoms and PoE cameras at the property boundary.
Will it work over old RG-59 or RG-6 coax from my analogue CCTV system?
Yes — that's one of its core use cases. The kit includes two 2-wire to BNC adapters. Re-terminate your old coax with BNC plugs, connect the PoE-in unit at the DVR / comms end and the PoE-out unit at the camera end, and you have PoE+ over the same coax you used to carry analogue video.
What kind of 2-wire cable is supported?
Any pair of insulated conductors: 24 AWG UTP (one pair of a Cat3/5/5e/6 cable), alarm cable, intercom riser, doorbell wire, telephone pair, or RG-6 / RG-59 coax via the bundled BNC adapter.
How much PoE actually reaches the endpoint?
It depends on cable length and type. On UTP 24 AWG: 25 W at 50 m, 13 W at 100 m, 9 W at 150 m, 6 W at 200 m. Coax is more efficient: 25 W at 50 m, 20 W at 100 m, 13 W at 150 m. Plan around the actual draw of your endpoint.
Do I need to adopt it in UniFi Network?
No. The extender is transparent — no MAC, no controller adoption, no firmware to manage. UniFi Network simply sees the camera, reader or AP plugged into the receiver.
Is it NDAA compliant?
Yes. Ubiquiti is a US-based manufacturer and the UACC-Retrofit-PoE-2Wire is NDAA Section 889 compliant — suitable for government and security-sensitive sites.
Do you ship to all states in Australia?
Yes. CCTV Guru ships the UACC-Retrofit-PoE-2Wire Australia-wide — Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Perth, Adelaide, Canberra, Hobart, Darwin and regional addresses. Most metro orders placed before 2 pm AEST go out the same business day.
