INTRODUCING THE 890 EXTENDED ETHERNET KIT
Congratulations on purchasing the Enable-IT’s 890 Extended Ethernet Kit the
simplest method to stretch your broadband solutions for in-building deployment in
commercial office buildings, hotels, and multi-tenant residential units.
The 890 Extended Ethernet Kit offers the Lowest Cost Solution in a simple design for
rapid install using existing 1 pair Telco wiring.
This chapter contains introductory information about The 890 Extended Ethernet Kit and
how it can be used in your network. It covers the following topics:

About the 890 Extended Ethernet Kit
The 890 Extended Ethernet Kit solves the problem of high costs associated with
stretching your backbone with traditional fiber or a series of hubs/repeaters.
In many office buildings, preferred network access is a dedicated Ethernet line,
however Ethernet over twisted pair wiring has its distance limitations of just 325 ft. In
order to drive Ethernet signal further, one would have to add repeaters to each
segment of 325ft twisted pair cabling; this is often insufficient and to costly in multi-
story buildings. Fortunately, the Enable-IT 890 Series Extended Ethernet can push
the reach of Ethernet to more than (15) fifteen times the typical Ethernet distance
over a 1-pair Telco wiring infrastructure.
A simple design methodology would be to think of the 890 extending a standard Ethernet
line up to 6,000’ (1,829m) and can also include a PABX voice line simultaneously.
To increase the durability and extended use of the product providing maximum future
technology protection, 890 Extended Ethernet Kit meets the challenge of modern
switched LANs and allows you to add features and capacity as your network expands.
The Enable-IT 890 Extended Ethernet has been tested to provide full duplex transport
up to 25MB/s over CAT2, and up to CAT5e cabling. R e a l t i m e t h r o u g h p u t d e p e n d s o n y o u r
