NSTALLING THE 860C EXTENDED ETHERNET KIT

The Enable-IT 860C Extended Ethernet Units have a distance restriction of 6,000ft or

1,828m over 2-pair of Category 3 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 860C

Extended Ethernet Unit. It covers the following topics:

• Site Plan – Installation Design Considerations

• Unpacking the Enable-IT 860C 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.

• BNC Coaxial RG58/RG6 cabling, 2 Pair CAT-3 wiring, 4-pair Cat5e .30 Gage or

better cabling is required for the 860C Interlink transmission.

For the Interlink wiring you can use either RJ-45 or BNC Coaxial connectors. 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 860C Interlink port (BNC Coax interface) carries this 2-pair signaling over the

RG58/RG6 pins (1, 2, 3 & 6) - used for transport for both voice and data. The

remaining pins 4, 5, 7 & 8 are can transport native PoE or are unused. BNC Coaxial

Interlink ports are provided for use with RG58/RG6 coaxial cabling.
