should be stuck on the coaxial cable connector before
using PLANET Power over Coaxial Extender Kit. As the
VC-205PT is power over coaxial, it only can work with
PLANET VC-205PR or VC-203PR. If connected with
Non-PoE coax-LAN equipment, it might cause damage to
the equipment.

Please take care of the conditions of the resistance value of cables as
follows.

Coaxial Cable Type

RG-59/U Less than 30Ω/1000 ft.

RG-6/U Less than 12Ω/1000 ft

Because there are various resistance values in the category of RG-59/U

2. Installation

This section describes the functionalities of the Industrial Power over
Coaxial Extender Kit’s components and guides you to how to install it
on the desktop. Basic knowledge of networking is expected. Please read
this chapter completely before continuing.

2.1 Product Description

Power over Coaxial

Based on IEEE 802.3at high power over Ethernet and up to 25 watts of
power output, PLANET PoE over coaxial extender Kit solution eliminates
the need for additional remote site power while allowing a single
PoE source, such as a PoE network switch, to provide power to both
transceivers and the camera at long range. This feature eliminates the
need for local and remote site power supplies.

IEEE 802.3at/af PoE Injector in one box design

The VC-205PR is a Single-Port, 802.3at High Power over Ethernet
Injector providing maximum up to 30 watts of power output over
Ethernet cable which allows data and power to transmit simultaneously
through the cable to PoE PD (Powered Device).

Stable Operating Performance under Difcult Environments

The VC-205-KIT extender is the perfect solution for extended distance
data and power transmission for warehouses, parking lots, campuses,
casinos, and many more. They can operate stably under temperature
range from -10 to 60 degrees C which enables the users to
conveniently apply the device in almost any location of the network.

2

There are two DIN-Rail holes on the left side of the VC-205PT and
VC-205PR that allow the converter can be easily installed with DIN-Rail
mounting. The PLANET optional DIN-Rail mounting Kit – RKE-DIN can
be order separately. When need to replace the wall mount application
with DIN-Rail application on the VC-205PT and VC-205PR, please refer

to following gures to screw the DIN-Rail on the converter. To hang the

VC-205PT and VC-205PR, follow the below steps:

Step 1: screw the DIN-Rail on the VC-205PT or VC-205PR.

Step 2: Lightly press the button of DIN-Rail into the track.

15

Step 3: Check the DIN-Rail is tightly on the track.

optimal power injection. The other non-standard PoE
Power devices may cause the VC-205PT to malfunction.

As the VC-205PT is power over coaxial, it only can work
with PLANET VC-205PR or VC-203PR. If connected with
non-PoE coax-LAN equipment, it might cause damage to
the equipment.

3. Troubleshooting

This chapter contains information to help you solve issues. If the
Industrial Power over Coaxial Extender Kit is not functioning properly,
make sure the Industrial Power over Coaxial Extender Kit is set up
according to instructions in this manual.

VDSL LNK LED does not light after wire is connected to the
VDSL port.

CHECKPOINT:

1. Verify the length of the wire connected between VC-205PT and
VC-205PR. It should not be more than 2km.

TP LED does not light after cable is connected to the port.

CHECKPOINT:

1. Verify you are using the Cat.5, 5e or 6 cables with RJ-45 connector
to connect to the port.

2. If your device (like LAN card) supports Auto-Negotiation, please try

to manually modify at a xed speed of your device.

3. Check whether the power of the converter and the connected device
is ON or OFF.

4.Check the port’s cable is rmly seated in its connectors in the switch

and in the associated device.

5. Check whether the connecting cable is good.

6. Check whether the power adapters are functional, including the
connecting device.

Performance is bad

CHECKPOINT:

The actual data rate will vary on the quality of the coaxial cable and
environment factors.

19

Why can’t power be on when my PoE PD device is connected to
VC-205PR ?

CHECKPOINT:

1. Please check the cable type of the connection from VC-205PR to the
other end. The cable should be an 8-wire UTP, Category 5 or above,
and EIA568 cable within 100 meters. A cable with only 4-wire, short
loop or over 100 meters will affect the power supply.

2. Please check and assure the device is fully complied with IEEE

802.3af / IEEE 802.3at standard.
