Federal, state, and DoD network security policy is built on a foundational principle: the physical medium is the first line of defense. Wireless solutions — regardless of encryption protocol — transmit signal energy into the surrounding environment. That signal can be detected, recorded, and subjected to cryptanalytic attack. In classified, sensitive compartmented information (SCI), and other controlled environments, this exposure is categorically unacceptable regardless of the encryption strength at the application layer.
A hardwired Ethernet or PoE Extender has no RF emission surface. The signal travels over a physical copper conductor. Interception requires physical access to the cable — a threat model that is addressed through physical security controls, not network security controls. This is why DoD installations, intelligence community facilities, federal law enforcement, and critical infrastructure operators consistently specify hardwired solutions for any network run beyond the standard 100-meter switch-to-device limit.
Specific government security requirements satisfied by hardwired extenders
Enable-IT on US Government networks since 1997: Enable-IT Ethernet and PoE Extenders have been deployed on U.S. Government networks — including military installations, federal agencies, and the International Space Station — for over 25 years. That operational history, combined with AS9100D certification and 100% USA manufacturing, represents a level of documented government confidence that no newer entrant can match.
The table below summarizes Enable-IT’s compliance credentials and their relevance to federal procurement and network security requirements.
Credential / Standard | Enable-IT Status | Procurement Relevance |
Trade Agreements Act (TAA) Compliance | Compliant | Mandatory for GSA Schedule products and most federal IT procurement. Enable-IT products are designed and manufactured in the United States — a designated country under the TAA — satisfying Buy American and TAA requirements without exception or waiver. |
GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) | Schedule holder | Federal agencies, DoD components, and eligible state/local governments may purchase directly from Enable-IT through the GSA Schedule at pre-negotiated pricing, bypassing the full competitive solicitation process for qualifying purchases. |
AS9100D — Aerospace Quality Management System | Certified | AS9100D is the international quality standard for aerospace and defense manufacturing. It imposes substantially more rigorous process controls than ISO 9001 alone. Government and DoD procurement officers frequently use AS9100D certification as a qualifying criterion for critical-infrastructure hardware. |
USA Manufacturing | 100% USA-made | Every Enable-IT unit is designed and manufactured in the United States. This satisfies NDAA Section 889 supply chain requirements, eliminates foreign-manufactured component risk for sensitive network infrastructure, and supports domestic industrial base policy objectives. |
FIPS 140-2 / Encrypted Communications | AES encryption on select models | Enable-IT PoE and Ethernet Extender models with built-in AES encryption provide an encrypted hardwired link between local and remote units. For networks requiring FIPS 140-2 validated cryptographic modules, consult Enable-IT engineering — the extender link encryption is a complement to, not a substitute for, validated endpoint encryption. |
Note: TAA compliance and GSA Schedule status should be verified against the current GSA Advantage listing at time of purchase. Contact Enable-IT for a current compliance letter for inclusion in contract documentation.
AS9100D is the quality management standard for the aerospace and defense manufacturing sector. It extends ISO 9001 with additional requirements specifically designed for the risk profile of safety-critical and mission-critical hardware: configuration management, product realization controls, risk-based process auditing, and first-article inspection requirements that commercial ISO 9001 certification does not mandate.
For government procurement officers, AS9100D certification provides documented assurance that Enable-IT’s manufacturing processes meet the same quality standard required for components used in military aircraft, spacecraft, and defense electronics. Every Enable-IT unit is produced under these controls — not just units sold to aerospace customers. This makes Enable-IT products appropriate for inclusion in contracts where quality management documentation is a requirement, and provides the evidentiary basis for sole-source justifications where AS9100D certification is cited as a qualifying criterion
Enable-IT holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract, making our Ethernet Extenders and PoE Extenders available to federal agencies, DoD components, and eligible state and local government entities at pre-negotiated pricing. The five-step process below applies to most agency purchases.
Step | Action | Detail |
1 | Locate Enable-IT on GSA Advantage | Go to gsaadvantage.gov and search ‘Enable-IT’ or search by product name (e.g. ‘865X PRO PoE Extender’). All listed products are TAA-compliant and priced at GSA Schedule rates. |
2 | Verify your purchasing threshold | Purchases up to the Simplified Acquisition Threshold (currently $250,000) may be placed directly with a GSA Schedule contractor after obtaining three quotes where required by your agency’s internal policy. Purchases above the SAT require additional competition among Schedule holders. |
3 | Request a quote | For orders requiring a formal quote, contact Enable-IT directly at (888) 309-0910 or via the contact form on this page. Reference your agency name, required delivery timeline, and shipping address. Enable-IT will provide a GSA-priced quote with contract number reference within one business day. |
4 | Issue a purchase order | Reference the Enable-IT GSA Schedule contract number on your agency purchase order. Orders may be placed via GSA Advantage, by fax, or by email per your agency’s procurement procedures. Enable-IT accepts government purchase orders and government credit cards (SmartPay). |
5 | Receive and document delivery | Enable-IT ships complete kits with all required hardware. Maintain delivery documentation per your agency’s property management requirements. Enable-IT provides commercial item descriptions (CIDs) and product specifications for property record purposes upon request. |
Sole-source justification support: If your procurement requires a sole-source or brand-name justification, Enable-IT will provide technical documentation supporting the justification, including AS9100D certification evidence, TAA compliance letters, and a capability statement. Contact (888) 309-0910.
Q: Are Enable-IT products TAA-compliant?
Yes. Enable-IT Ethernet Extenders and PoE Extenders are designed and manufactured in the United States, which is a designated country under the Trade Agreements Act. TAA compliance is inherent to the product — no waiver, exception, or end-product determination is required. Enable-IT will provide a written TAA compliance letter for inclusion in your contract file upon request.
Q: Does Enable-IT have a GSA Schedule contract number?
Yes. Enable-IT holds a GSA Multiple Award Schedule (MAS) contract. Products are listed on GSA Advantage at gsaadvantage.gov. Contact Enable-IT at (888) 309-0910 to obtain the current contract number for inclusion in your purchase order, or to request a GSA-priced quote with contract reference.
Q: Can Enable-IT extenders be used on classified or SIPRNet-connected networks?
Enable-IT Ethernet and PoE Extenders are passive Ethernet extension devices — they carry the signal present on the connected network without processing, storing, or modifying data content. They do not introduce additional classification-relevant network nodes. Whether a specific extender model is suitable for a classified network segment is a determination made by the Authorizing Official (AO) and network security personnel in the context of the system’s RMF authorization package. Enable-IT provides technical specifications and configuration documentation to support that determination. Select models include built-in AES link encryption between local and remote units as a supplementary control.
Q: Does Enable-IT support NDAA Section 889 supply chain requirements?
Yes. Enable-IT products are 100% designed and manufactured in the United States. No components from entities identified in NDAA Section 889(f)(3) — including Huawei, ZTE, Hytera, Hikvision, Dahua, and their subsidiaries — are used in Enable-IT products. Enable-IT will provide a Section 889 representation letter for contract compliance documentation upon request.
