The NVT Phybridge FLEX8 plug-and-play long reach 1, 2 or 4 Pair UTP PoE Switch is a versatile, secure, high-powered, enterprise-class solution that delivers
fast Ethernet (10/100Mbps full duplex, symmetrical) and up to PoE++ (50W per port) over 4-pair UTP for up to 2,000ft (610m) – that’s 6Xs the distance of
typical PoE switches. Visit www.nvtphybridge.com for more information.

MOUNTING OPTIONS
RACK MOUNT CONFIGURATION
1
• Review installation instructions and the “PoE Power Available to
FLEX-Link, FLEX4 and FLEX-C” table.
• Ensure that your IP devices are IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant and PoE
requirements can be supported given cable type and distance.
• To ensure proper ventilation of the FLEX8, leave at least 2 inches of
unobstructed space on all sides of the unit.
• Properly mount the FLEX8 switch in its final location before connecting
endpoints. (See Mounting Options Below)
• Make sure cable between downlink ports and adapters or IP endpoints are
properly terminated before connecting to switch.
• For endpoints within standard Ethernet reach (328ft/100m) connect
directly to downlink ports. For extended reach, use FLEX adapters
(FLEX-C, FLEX-Link or FLEX4) in between the end point and the switch.
• The FLEX-Link and FLEX4 can be deployed up to 2000ft away from the
FLEX8 and can deliver up to 50 Watts of power.
• The FLEX-C can be deployed up to 2000ft away from the FLEX8 and can
deliver up to 30 Watts of power.
• The FLEX8 out of the box operates in 10/100 Mbps Auto Speed mode; if
10 Mbps is required, it can be forced via the mode toggle located on the
front of the unit.
► The forced 10Mbps feature can be used when the auto negotiation is
not achieving a link between the switch and adapter.
• Connect the uplink GbE 1 or GbE 2 port to the network switch or directly
to your application. Uplink ports can be daisy chained.
• Ensure power supply is securely connected to FLEX8.
The FLEX-Link can support up to 50W of power using all 4-pairs or maximum of 30W using 2-pairs. FLEX4 can accept up to 120W of power and it can output up to 30W of power for 802.3af/at compliant devices. To account for cable
losses and increase PoE delivery, the FLEX-Link and FLEX4 adapters have the option of using a local external power supply. The FLEX-Link and FLEX4 are IEEE compliant and will negotiate power with the IP device.
