FLEX-Base Extender Applications
FLEX-Base Extender Solution is designed to supercharge the downlink ports of a standard
Ethernet switch delivering 10/100Mbps symmetrical (full duplex) and PoE over Multi-Pair
UTP infrastructure with distances up to 2,000ft (610m). The FLEX offering is designed
specifically to enable easy deployment over 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.

FLEX-Base Quick Install Guide
To Switch
Link
1. Remove the FLEX-Base from its packaging.
2. Must ensure cable is properly terminated before connecting any FLEX product.
3. Remove all legacy equipment from the UTP cable infrastructure.
NOTE: In order to avoid damage to endpoints, it is important that non-IP devices are not
connected when you connect the FLEX-Base.
4. Connect FLEX-Base (Switch side) to downlink port on switch.
5. Connect the Network Infrastructure cable from the FLEX-Base (LRE side) to FLEX-Link
FLEX-C or FLEX4 (LRE side).
6. Using CAT5 or higher category cable, connect the endpoint to the FLEX-Link, FLEX-C or
FLEX4 (Endpoint/Device side).
NOTE: FLEX-Base can be used with FLEX-Link, FLEX-C and FLEX4
