FLEX-C Adapter Applications
The FLEX-C 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.

1. Remove the FLEX-C 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-C.
4. Connect the Network Infrastructure cable from the FLEX24 switch, FLEX8 switch or
FLEX-Base to the FLEX-C (LRE side).
5. Using CAT5 or higher category cable, connect the endpoint to the FLEX-C (Endpoint side).
NOTE: FLEX-C can be used with FLEX24 switch, FLEX8 switch or FLEX-Base
Endpoint device must be IEEE 802.3 af/at compliant.
