FLEX4 Adapter Applications
The FLEX4 adapter enables extended Ethernet and PoE reach beyond traditional distances
using 1, 2 or 4 pair UTP infrastructure. When paired with the FLEX24 Switch, FLEX8 Switch or
FLEX-Base Extender, the adapter delivers 10/100Mbps, symmetrical full duplex. The FLEX
offering is designed specifically to enable easy deployment over Multi-Pair UTP for reaches
beyond that of standard Ethernet eliminating the costs and disruption associated with IDF
closet requirements.
10/100Mbps (full duplex, symmetrical) & PoE++ over multi-pair UTP with 2,000ft (610M) reach.

must have its output isolated from
Earth potential.
NOTE 2: If voltage of local power
supply is lower than the power
voltage provided from the PoE
switch, then power on the PoE
