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 (800)528-4343.
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 max-
imum 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.
