1.0 WARRANTY INFORMATION Patton Electronics warrants all Model 2168B components to be free from defects, and will—at our option—repair or replace the product should it fail within one year from the first date of the shipment. This warranty is limited to defects in workmanship or materials, and does not cover customer damage, abuse or unauthorized modification. If this product fails or does not performs as warranted, your sole recourse shall be repair or replacement as described above.
of Part 15 of FCC rules, which are designed to provide reasonable protection from such interference in a commercial installation. However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in a particular installation.
1.6 SAFETY WHEN WORKING WITH ELECTRICITY • This device contains no user serviceable parts. This device can only be repaired by qualified service personnel. • Do not open the device when the power cord is connected. For systems without a power switch and without an external power adapter, line voltages are present within the device when the power cord is connected. • For devices with an external power adapter, the power adapter shall be a listed Limited Power Source.
In accordance with the requirements of council directive 2002/96/EC on Waste of Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE), ensure that at end-of-life you separate this product from other waste and scrap and deliver to the WEEE collection system in your country for recycling. WARNING This device is NOT intended nor approved for connection to the PSTN. It is intended only for connection to customer premise equipment. Electrostatic Discharge (ESD) can damage equipment and impair electrical circuitry.
2.0 GENERAL INFORMATION Thank you for your purchase of this Patton Electronics product. This product has been thoroughly inspected and tested and is warranted for one year for parts and labor.

Figure 1. Typical application The pair of 2168B models work together to create a transparent extension between two peered Ethernet LANs. Figure 1 shows a typical point-topoint application. 3.0 INSTALLATION CAUTION The Interconnecting cables shall be acceptable for external use and shall be rated for the proper application with respect to voltage, current, anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability. To install the 2168B Ethernet Extender, do the following: 1.

1. To function properly, the two Model 2168Bs must be connected together using twisted-pair, unconditioned, dry, metal wire, between 19 (0.9mm) and 26 AWG (0.4mm). Leased circuits that run through signal equalization equipment are not acceptable. 2. The Model 2168B is equipped with an RJ-45 interface jack that can be used on the CopperLINK interface. The CopperLINK interface is a two-wire interface. Observe the signal/pin relationships on the Model 2168B's CopperLINK interface jack.
