The ComNet™ CopperLine® Ethernet over copper line supports up to sixteen
channels of 10/100Mbps Ethernet with Pass-through PoE over twisted pair cable
(CAT-5, UTP), or over coaxial cable. The single channel units may be powered by a
PoE switch or the included power supply. Four, eight, and sixteen channel units
operate from local power. These units provide the ultimate flexibility for extending
a powered device (PD) over long distance copper. DIP switches are provided for userselection of local or remote, 10 or 100Mbps, and 1 pair or 4 pair (UTP) settings.
Bi-color (Red/Green) LED indicators are provided for rapidly ascertaining equipment
operating status. Table 2 on Page 9 describes the LED indicators for each light on
the unit.
The CLFE8EO(C,U) and CLFE16EO(C,U) are 1RU rack mountable units. The
CLFE4EO(C,U) units are interchangeable between stand-alone or card mount
configurations, or may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet model
DINBKT1 or DINBKT4 adaptor plate. The CLFE1EO(C,U) units are stand-alone, or
may be DIN-rail mounted by the addition of ComNet model DINBKT4 adaptor. See
Figures A through C on Page 11 for mounting instructions.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
1 - SET 10/100 SWITCH
Locate the 10/100 data rate DIP switch on the unit.
Set the data rate according to bandwidth required. The default setting for the data rate DIP switch is 100Mbps.
NOTE: The data rate must be set the same on both the local and remote units.
2 - SET WIRE PAIR DIP SWITCHES (UTP MODELS ONLY, FOR COAX MODELS SKIP TO STEP 3)
Locate the wire pair DIP switch on the unit.
Set the pair according to number of twisted wire pairs used (1 or 4). The default setting for the wire pair DIP switch is 4 pair.
NOTE: The number of pairs selected must be set the same on both the local and remote units. PoE Pass-Through mode
is only available in 4-pair mode and requires a PD device connected to the ComNet remote unit to operate.
3 - SET LOCAL/REMOTE SWITCHES (1 AND 4 CHANNEL UNITS ONLY, FOR RACK UNITS SKIP TO STEP 4)
Locate the Local/Remote Dip switch and set to “LC” at the head end or “RM” at the camera end.
Locate the Local/Remote push button switch (coax units only), and set to the same setting as the dip switch.
The factory setting for these switches is “RM”.
The CLFE8EO(C,U) and CLFE16EO(C,U) units are preconfigured as Local devices.
4 - CONNECT EXTENDED WIRING
Connect Extended Distance Port to field wiring.
5 - CONNECT NETWORK WIRING
Using CAT5/5e, connect Local unit to network and Remote unit to camera.
6 - CONNECT POWER
Connect power to unit per the following table:
Table 1 – Power Connections per Use Case

INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL CLFE(X)EO(C,U) SERIES
APPLICATION NOTES
1 Mixed PoE and Non-PoE systems can be implemented.
2 All Non-PoE systems require local power.
3 PoE powered operation requires that a PoE Camera be connected, and that the camera power requirements are understood.
4 Multiple Channel units (CLFE4EO(C,U), CLFE8EO(C,U), CLFE16EO(C,U) require 9 to 15 VDC for proper operation. The
CLFE4EO(C,U) can be used in a C1, C2, or C3.
5 Single Channel units (CLFE1EO(C,U)) require power for all Non-PoE applications. Local power can be used in PoE application to
minimize PoE consumption.
6 Lower data rates generally provide longer operating distances.
7 Rack units (CLFE8EO(C,U), CLFE16EO(C,U)) are pre-configured for Local (LC) and have no configurable Local/Remote switch. Any
unit connected to one of these rack units via an extended distance port must be configured as Remote (RM) for proper operation.

Distance figures are based on a 50V PSE PoE power source, and external power supplies for the extenders. Distance figures are obtained using
in-house testing mirroring installations. Factors such as coaxial/copper cable quality, the number of connectors/splices in the cable run, the use
of PoE, and environmental conditions encountered within the installation may affect the actual transmission distance, and should be taken into
consideration. Due to advanced negotiation signaling required in IEEE 802.3at applications, Pass-through applications are limited to IEEE 802.3af PD
devices only.
² PoE over extended distance is not available in 1 Pair mode. Remote PoE injection is required for this case.

Check extended distance cable and connections. Try connection on a shor t cable to eliminate possibility of fault y cabling.
Check that the ex tended distance wire is connec ted to Extended Dis tance Port.
Verify that there is no additional equipment (e.g. surge protec tor) on the Extended Link. The cable should be continuous from end to end,

INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
These units are supplied as Standalone/Rack mounted module. Units should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of temperature and
humidity.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 power supply.
IMPORTANT SAFEGUARDS:
A) Elevated Operating Ambient - If installed in a closed or multi-unit rack assembly, the operating ambient temperature of the rack environment may be greater than
room ambient. Therefore, consideration should be given to installing the equipment in an environment compatible with the maximum ambient temperature (Tma)
specified by the manufacturer.
B) Reduced Air Flow - Installation of the equipment in a rack should be such that the amount of air flow required for safe operation of the equipment is not compromised.
