NTRODUCING THE 868 POE+ & EXTENDED ETHERNET KIT
Congratulations on purchasing the Enable-IT 868 PoE+ & Extended Ethernet Kit — the
simplest method to install your PoE+ IP Security camera or PoE+ Wireless Access Point
using Ethernet or telephone wiring. This is the world’s first solution to deliver Voice,
Ethernet Data and Power over Ethernet (PoE+) in a combined package that exceeds the
IEEE distance limitations for all Ethernet equipment.
WARNING: DO NOT use LAN1/2 PoE+ port on the CPE end for non-PoE+ equipment
as it may damage any non-PoE+ equipment. Use the LAN ports (3-4) on the CPE for
non-PoE+ equipment.
This chapter contains introductory information about how it can be used in your network
and covers the following topics:
• About the 868 PoE+ & Extended Ethernet Kit
• Key Benefits
• Summary of Features
• Typical Use Applications
About the 868 PoE+ & Extended Ethernet Kit
The 868 PoE+ & Extended Ethernet Kit provides a complete all in one solution and lower
cost alternative for installing a PoE+ device beyond IEEE Ethernet cabling distance
limitations or for installing a remote LAN requiring no power at the remote end.
Traditional
methods require installation of costly fiber (that can’t carry power) or a series of
hubs/repeaters and the use of voice and PoE+ equipment combined.
The preferred network access for these PoE+ devices is a dedicated Ethernet line,
however Ethernet over twisted pair wiring has its distance limitations of just 328 ft. In
order to drive Ethernet signal further, one would have to add repeaters to each
segment of 328ft twisted pair cabling; this is often insufficient and too costly in multi-
story buildings. Fortunately the Enable-IT 868 Series Extended Ethernet can push
the reach of Ethernet to more than (10.7) ten times the typical Ethernet distance.
2,500ft/762m distance if using the PoE+ power to drive up to a 24v PoE+ device or
3,500ft/1,067m distance if using the PoE+ to
remotely power the remote 868 CPE
device
using LAN ports 2-4 output for Ethernet data.
The 868 enables the simple installation of a PoE+ device up to 2,500ft (762m) From your
LAN and Power Source. – This is ideal for installing PoE+ IP Security cameras or PoE+
WiFi Access Points or for a standalone remote self powered LAN up to 3,500ft (1,067m).
WARNING: DO NOT use LAN1/2 PoE+ port on the CPE end for non-PoE+ equipment
as it may damage any non-PoE+ equipment. Use the LAN ports (3-4) on the CPE for
non-PoE+ equipment.
The Enable-IT 868 Extended Ethernet has been tested to provide full duplex transport up to
100MB/s over CAT3, CAT5e and higher cabling.
* Actual data rate will vary on the quality of the copper wire, twisted pair and environmental factors
