INSTALLATION AND OPERATION MANUAL
CNFE2CL2MC
2 ETHERNET CHANNELS OVER EITHER 2 TWISTED PAIR OR
2 COAXIAL CABLES USING VDSL2 (EOVDSL) TECHNOLOGY
The ComNet™ CNFE2CL2MC is an environmentally hardened modem that
supports two Ethernet channels over either two twisted pair or two coaxial
cables using VDSL2 technology, at data rates of up to 90 Mbps. Ethernet data
may be transmitted over a telephone-grade twisted copper pair, legacy serial
cabling, or standard 75 ohm coaxial cable circuits, making this rugged unit
ideal for those applications where it is desired to utilize an existing installed
base of copper wiring for Ethernet transmission. These modems are the
perfect solution for upgrading a legacy twisted copper or coaxial cable plant
for use with Ethernet, when compared to the significant costs of installing new
network cabling.
The fastest usable data rate is automatically selected, depending upon the
transmission distance and cable quality. The CNFE2CL2MC may be deployed in
most out-of-plant installations, such as those found in intelligent transportation
systems and factory automation/control applications. LED status indicators are
provided for rapidly ascertaining the operating status of the modem and the link.
See Figures 1 – 6 for complete installation details.
The CNFE2CL2MC standard size unit may be directly plugged into the ComNet
Rack (Part C1) or operated as a standalone module. See Page 4 for mounting
instructions.

MECHANICAL INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
INSTALLATION CONSIDERATIONS
This EoVDSL link is supplied as a Standalone/Rack module. Units
should be installed in dry locations protected from extremes of
temperature and humidity.
C1-US, C1-EU, C1-AU OR C1-CH CARD CAGE RACKS
CAUTION: Although the units are hot-swappable and may be installed
without turning power off to the rack, ComNet recommends that
the power supply be turned off and that the rack power supply
is disconnected from any power source. Note: Remove electrical
connector before installing in card cage rack.
1. Make sure that the card is oriented right side up, and slide it into
the card guides in the rack until the edge connector at the back
of the card seats in the corresponding slot in the rack’s connector
panel. Seating may require thumb pressure on the top and bottom
of the card’s front panel.
CAUTION: Take care not to press on any of the LEDs.
2. Tighten the two thumb screws on the card until the front panel of
the card is seated against the front of the rack.
WARNING: Unit is to be used with a Listed Class 2 or LPS power supply rated
12–24VDC/AC@1A VDC @ 1A.

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.
