Sophos Switch POE Distance

Hello,

As a new user of Sophos Switch, I recently purchased a CS101-8FP to power up an APX. However, the distance between my two access points and the Sophos POE switch is 130 meters.

Therefore, this model will function as an extended POE or not. However, there was an option called Extended.

130 meters is beyond CAT6 cable specs. I've seen it work in the field but NO guarantees and if it works I would consider it unreliable. The longer the cable, the more resistance for electrical signals and power.

This might be a cheap solution:
