NSTALLING THE 850 CPE EXTENDED ETHERNET
The Enable-IT 850 CPE Extended Ethernet Units have a distance restriction of 8,000ft or
2,440m over 1-pair of Category 2 up to Category 5e / CAT6 wiring from device extension
to device extension. Therefore quick, simple site surveys and installation planning are
highly recommended.
This chapter describes the recommended installation process for the Enable-IT 850 CPE
Extended Ethernet Unit. It covers the following topics:
• Site Plan – Installation Design Considerations
• Unpacking the Enable-IT 850 CPE Ethernet Extender
• Perform an out of the box Test
• Performing the On-Site Installation
Site Plan - Installation Design Considerations
The planning process should involve a site walkthrough and discovery survey. Electrical
Cable measurement tools are the most reliable method to determine the longest run of
hidden wiring. Estimate the best locations to position the Broadband Concentrators to
adequately reach desired connectivity on each floor. Document your findings to use in
designing a network topology to support the Ethernet Switches and backbone
connectivity. Key points to remember in the Site Survey.
• Total distance limitation of 8,000ft or 2,440m from end to end.
• 1 Pair CAT-2 wiring or better cabling is required for the 850 CPE Interlink
transmission.
The 850 CPE Interlink port (RJ-11 interface) carries this 1-pair signaling over the RJ-
11 pins (1 & 2) - used for transport for both voice and data. If you use more than 1-
pair of wiring such as a CAT5 segment, the RJ-45 pins (3 & 6) are used for Voice
line 2 and the remaining pins 4,5,7 & 8 are can transport native PoE or are unused.
