NVT Phybridge FLEX-Link Quick Install Manual

Q UI CK I N S TA L L G U I D E - F L E X A D A PTE RS
The FLEX-Link and FLEX-C adapters enable extended Ethernet and PoE reach
beyond traditional distances using 1, 2 or 4 pair UTP infrastructure. The
adapters, when used with the FLEX Switch or FLEX-Base, deliver 10/100Mbps
(symmetrical, full duplex) and PoE (up to 50W) over 1- (needs local power), 2-,
or 4-pair UTP/STP with up to 2,000ft (610m) reach 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.

In s t a l la t io n D e t a i ls
1. Remove the FLEX-C from its packaging.
2. 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.
3. Connect the Network Infrastructure cable from the FLEX24 switch or
FLEX-Base to the FLEX-C (FLEX side).
4. Using CAT5 or higher category cable, connect the endpoint to FLEX-C
(Device side).
NOTE: FLEX-C can be used with FLEX24 switch or FLEX-Base
