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 (800) 528-4343.
Ethernet & PoE: The EL1500U 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 consider-
ing 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 charac-
teristics, splices, and unknown cable distance estimates.
