EL1500C

IP Video Camera Over Coax

Ethernet Extender & PoE Injector with EtherStretch

Description

The EL1500C is another component of the NITEK EtherStretch line. This Environmentally Hard­ened 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 500m or 1600ft of coaxial cable making the EL1500C is ideal for retrofit­ting existing installations.

The EL1500C system consists of a transmitter and a receiver unit that require very little installa­tion time and no set up or configuration. The system quickly turns any ordinary RG59 coax cable
into a high speed network communication and PoE pathway.

The EL1500C is completely transparent to the network thus requiring no IP and MAC addressing.
Simply connect your network devices to the networking port 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 EL1500C 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 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 EL1500C is designed for use with RG59U 75 Ohm

copper based 18AWG (American Wire Gauge) coaxial cable. 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 [phone].

Ethernet & PoE: The EL1500C is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of Ethernet
TCP/IP data and PoE from 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) at a maximum distance of
1,600ft / 500m. Before considering this solution be sure that the cable involved do not exceed
the recommended maximum lengths. If the cable distance value is undetermined 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.
