The ComNet™ CopperLine CLFE(X)COAX Ethernet over COAX line consists of four models that support 100Mbps Ethernet as well as Pass-through Power over Ethernet (PoE) over standard 75 coaxial cable. These models support transmission distances of up to 5,000 feet (1524m) at 10 Mbps, or 1800 feet (548m) at 100 Mbps. The CLFE1COAX, the CLFE4COAX, CLFE8COAX and the CLFE16COAX transport, one, four, eight or sixteen channels respectively. The IEEE 802.3-compliant extenders also meets the requirements for IEEE 802.3af/at PoE power, passing through up to 30 watts of power per port to the powered device (PD). The CLFE(X)COAX series may also be used interchangeably with other CopperLine Ethernet-over-Coax extenders.

Environmentally hardened to the requirements of NEMA TS-1/ TS-2 for most out-of-plant applications, and true plug-and-play design ensures ease of installation and operation.

LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining the operating status of the device. See Figures 7 and 8 on Page 7 for LED explanations.

Packaged in a rugged aluminum housing, these units are designed for desktop or standalone mounting. The CLFE8COAX and CLFE16COAX are offered in EIA 19” 1U high rack for

easy installation. See Figures A through C on Page 8 for mounting instructions.

See Figures 1 – 8 for complete installation details.

PASS-THROUGH PoE OPERATIONS FOR THE CLFE1COAX

ComNet’s CopperLine CLFE1COAX extended distance IP data and PoE maintains the safety standards for communications found within the 802.3af and 802.3at PoE standards. This is for the protection of products operating in the extended distance transmission chain. In the event of malfunctions the communication system is designed to shut down power transmission to avoid device

damage.

The CLFE1COAX can be powered by a local power source (12 Volts D.C. or 24 Volts A.C.) or from a single PSE source, such as a network switch’s PoE port using its unique Pass Through PoE feature. This latter feature eliminates the need for CLFE1COAX local power while also providing power for the camera.

Using the Remote and Local Switch

Set the CLFE1COAX positioned closest to the camera as “Remote”

Set the CLFE1COAX positioned closest to the PSE source to “Local”

(See full installation instructions, Page 6)

Setting the CLFE1COAX Position Switch

The CLFE1COAX provides the ability to transmit both data and PoE over RG59 cable. While the CLFE1COAX is a transceiver as part of the installation, the devices must be set according to their position in the transmission line as the camera and control site

location.

Powering The CLFE1COAX Transceivers

Under normal operating conditions CLFE1COAX transceivers should be powered using the PoE source. External power to the

Input with external power plug installed.

CLFE1COAX should be restricted to installations where a camera requires local power.

When installing the CLFE1COAX, the following conditions apply which will affect its operations.

The CLFE1COAX is provided with the ability to operate using a local external power supply. The standard accessory local power adaptor plug can be used for power supplies that do not have the CLFE1COAX’s standard power input connector. When inserting the adaptor into the power input, the CLFE1COAX is only powered from a local power source and not from a PSE source. The camera will continue receiving power from the PSE source and operations will be normal.

However, if the external plug adaptor is inserted in the CLFE1COAX and no power is applied, the CLFE1COAX will not power up even if a PoE source is present, the camera will continue to receive power. In this case the CLFE1COAX is not operational and no data will flow.

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CLFE(X)COAX

IP CAMERA-END INSTALLATION (CLFE1COAX)

Set the Remote/Local dip switch to “Remote” mode.

S1 S2 S1 S2

Set the S1 dip switch to the appropriate rate based on the maximum data rate. OFF = 10BaseT; ON = 100BaseT

Set the S2 switch to “On” for Master.

For systems not utilizing PoE, connect the 12VDC or 24VAC Power Supply to the power connector of the CLFE1COAX. An external power adapter is provided to simplify connection.

If there is no external power source connected, the CLFE1COAX will try to detect PoE.

CAUTION: If the external power adaptor is connected

with no power applied, the CLFE1COAX will not recognize the PoE source and the system will be inoperative.

ETHERNET SWITCH/NVR-END INSTALLATION (CLFE(X)COAX)

Set the Remote/Local dip switch to “Local” mode.

Set the S1 10/100BaseT dip switch to the appropriate rate based on the maximum data rate. OFF = 10BaseT; ON = 100BaseT

Be sure the S2 switch to is set to “Off” for Slave.

Note: The 4, 8 and 16 channel units are preset to Slave/Local

mode. No adjustment required.

Connect the 12VDC or 24VAC Power Supply to the power connector of the selected CLFE(X)COAX If there is no external power source connected, the selected CLFE(X)COAX will try to detect PoE.

Connect the IP camera RJ-45 connector to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port of the selected CLFE(X)COAX using a standard Cat5/6 cable, 100m length (max).

Connect the IP camera RJ-45 connector to the 10/100BaseT Ethernet port of the CLFE1COAX using a standard Cat5/6 cable, 100m length (max).

Connect one end of the long coax cable to the BNC connector of the CLFE1COAX.

Connect one end of the long coax cable to the BNC connector of the selected CLFE(X)COAX.

The Link LED on the 10/100 Ethernet connector should be “ON” to indicate proper connection between the switch and the selected CLFE(X)COAX.

The Trafﬁc LED on the Coax side should be “ON” and ﬂashing to indicate proper connection.

The Link LED (Red for 100BaseT, Green for 10BaseT) will be “ON” and not ﬂashing to indicate conﬁrmed connection between the CLFE1COAX and selected CLFE(X)COAX extenders.
