INSTALLING THE 860 EXTENDED ETHERNET KIT
The Enable-IT 860 Extended Ethernet Units have a distance restriction of 6,000ft or
1,828m 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 860
Extended Ethernet Unit. It covers the following topics:
• Site Plan – Installation Design Considerations
• Unpacking the Enable-IT 860 Extended Ethernet Kits
• 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 6,000ft or 1,829m from end to end.
• 1 Pair CAT-2 wiring or 4-pair Cat5e .30 Gage or better cabling is required for the
860 Interlink transmission.
For all wiring you will need to crimp a RJ-45 Male Head to each end of the
contiguous wire run and using the following pins (1 & 2) straight through. This will
deliver 1 Voice line, Ethernet Data. If you desire to use the second voice line, you
can also use pins (3 & 6) on each end straight through.
The 860 Interlink port (RJ-45 interface) carries this 1-pair signaling over the RJ-45
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 & 4) are used for Voice line 2
and the remaining pins 4,5,7 & 8 are can transport native PoE or are unused.
