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, RJ11 telephone, single-pair shielded, or RG-6 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
Input is PoE++ 50 V / 1.2 A (60 W). Output is genuine 802.3at PoE+ at 48 V / 0.6 A — enough to run UniFi Access G3 readers, intercoms, G5 Bullet / G5 Dome / G6 cameras, U6+/U7 Lite APs, or third-party 802.3af/at devices.
Two 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 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 UTP, dropping gracefully to ~50 Mbps and data-only at the long end. 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 / level distribution box to mount UniFi G4 Intercoms or UA-Hub 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 really 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 (or use BNC-to-screw adapters), connect TX at the DVR/comms end and RX 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 with reasonable resistance: 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. Polarity-insensitive between the two conductors.
How much PoE actually reaches the endpoint?
It depends on cable length and type. As a quick guide 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 — most G3/G4 readers, G4/G5 cameras and U6+/U7 Lite APs sit well under 13 W.
Do I need to adopt it in UniFi Network?
No. The extender is fully transparent — no MAC, no controller adoption, no firmware to manage. It looks like a piece of cable to your switch and to your endpoint. UniFi Network simply sees the camera / reader / AP that's plugged into the receiver.
Can I cascade two pairs to get longer than 750 m?
Ubiquiti doesn't officially support cascading and the HomePlug AV signal isn't designed to be repeated. For runs beyond the official table use fibre with a media converter at each end, or step up to a UISP wireless backhaul.
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, Gold Coast, Newcastle and regional addresses. Most metro orders placed before 2 pm AEST go out the same business day.
