EL1500UW

Outdoor IP Video Camera Over UTP

Ethernet Extender & PoE Injector with EtherStretch

Description

The EL1500UW is another component of the NITEK EtherStretch line. Our EtherStretch solution
allows for the utilization of existing cable infrastructure (coax or UTP) to transmit data from IP cam­eras and other network devices along with power (PoE) to operate these networked devices well be­yond standard network limitations. The system can extend Ethernet to over 600m or 2000ft of UTP
cable making the EL1500UW is ideal for retrofitting existing installations.

The EL1500UW system consists of a NEMA4 weatherproof case enclosed transmitter and a receiver
unit that require very little installation time and absolutely no set up or configuration. The system al­low CAT5e and CAT6 cables to be used well beyond traditional limits. The EL1500UW can com­municate at 100Mb to distances over 600m or 2000ft. It can also turn these cables into PoE pathway
to power and operate IP cameras.

The EL1500UW is completely transparent to the network thus requiring no IP and MAC addressing.
Simply connect your network devices to the networking ports of the transmitter and receiver along
with existing cabling and the system begins communicating. LED indicators show the status and
speed of network communications and PoE power.

The NITEK EtherStretch EL1500UW reliably extends network communications to overcome cable
distance limitations offering connectivity to devices in locations traditional networking does not allow.
The units are constructed of industrial grade RoHS compliant plated aluminum with a corrosion
resistant finish and with the addition of the NEMA4 enclosure makes them extremely durable.

Important Safety Instructions

Read all Safety Instructions.

Keep the Instructions for future reference.

Be sure to HEED all Warnings.

Follow ALL instructions.

DO NOT use this device or any of the equipment described, near water.

Clean this device ONLY with a dry cloth.

DO NOT block any ventilation openings.

Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.

DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.

DO NOT defeat the safety purposes of polarized or grounding type plugs. A polarized plug has two blades, with
one blade wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades and has a third grounding prong. The wide
blade and the grounding prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.

DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical supply if the wiring or over current protection of the supply could be
overloaded when the ratings listed on the unit are considered.

Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched especially at plugs, convenience receptacles and other
points where they exit from the device.

Only use attachments and/or accessories specified by the manufacturer.

Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any
way, such as the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled on, or objects have fallen into the
device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been dropped.

WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.

Installation shall be performed ONLY by qualified personnel and must conform to all local codes.

Unless the device is specifically marked as a NEMA 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6 or 6P enclosure, it is designed for indoor
use ONLY and it must not be installed where exposed to rain or moisture.

Installation Considerations

Wire and Cable Recommendations: The EL1500CW is designed to use with ANSI/TIA/EIA defined

CAT5e or CAT6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. This UTP cable shall be able to accommodate
TCP/IP data operating speeds of 10/100 Mbps transmission rates. The RJ45 termination pin out
schemes shall be in accordance with the 568B standard. The quality of which must be consistent with
any reasonably serviceable cable condition. That is free from damage as in cuts, breaks, or cracks to
the outer covering and insulated shielding which may compromise the signal conductivity of the cable.

For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges, and proper installation techniques please
call Tech Support at 1-(800)528 - 4343.

Ethernet & PoE: The EL1500UW is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of Ethernet data
and PoE from 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) at a maximum distance of 2000ft./600m. Before con­sidering this solution be sure that the cable involved do not exceed the recommended maximum
lengths. If the cable value is indeterminate at the time of installation, we recommend the use of a Time
Domain Reflectometer (TDR) which through the use of short rise time pulses can measure impedance
characteristics, splices, and unknown cable distance estimates.

NEMA4 Enclosure Case: The NEMA4 enclosure is included in order to provided the system (the
ET1500UW transmitter) with a robust degree of weather and atmospheric condition protection in ac­cordance with the appropriately rated NEMA level. The weatherproof enclosure allows for flexibility in
installation and can be mounted to a variety of surfaces (mounting hardware dependant & not included),
either flat or pole apparatuses. Two (2) water-proof grommets are located at the bottom of the unit in
order to secure cable terminations and case entry points.
