NSTALLING THE 868 POE+ & EXTENDED ETHERNET KIT

The Enable-IT 868 PoE+ & Extended Ethernet Kit have a distance restriction of 3,500ft

or 1,067m over 1-pair of Category 3 up to Category 5e / CAT6 wiring from your LAN and

power source to the remote PoE+ device. Therefore quick, simple site surveys and

installation planning are highly recommended – This is ideal for installing PoE+ IP Security

cameras or PoE+ WiFi Access Points.

This chapter describes the recommended installation process for the Enable-IT 868

PoE+ & Extended Ethernet Kit. It covers the following topics:

• Site Plan – Installation Design Considerations

• Unpacking the Enable-IT 868 PoE+ & Extended Ethernet Kit

• 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 3,500ft / 1.0672m from end to end. -

2,500ft/762m distance if using the PoE+ power for a PoE+ device.

• 1-pair Cat5e .30 Gage or better cabling is required for the 868 Interlink

transmission.

• Cisco PoE+ single line injector support built in. Not compatible with any PoE+

switches as the PoE+ switches are not smart enough to understand Extender

Ethernet timing mechanisms and fail to set correct output voltage and will

subsequently disable the PoE+ switch port.

• Transparent to single line 802.3af/802.3at PoE+ injectors and devices.

For CAT3 wiring (1-pair/2 wires) 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 Ethernet Data and PoE+.

For CAT5e or better wiring (1-pair/2 wires) 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 Ethernet Data and PoE+.
