Wiring Guidelines - Direct Power

The MAX-CSE unit requires the use of either an external 12 VDC-compliant power supply or an
802.3af-compliant device to provide DC power. Power can be fed to the unit thru either the rear
2-pin 3.5 mm mini-Phoenix PWR connector or the rear Ethernet connector (PoE).
Use the Specifications table's power requirements to determine the unit's power draw.
This unit should only have one source of incoming power.
Although the unit can be connected to two separate power sources, the
12 VDC-compliant power input overrides the PoE. Refer to the Wiring Guidelines -
Indirect Power (via PoE) section on page 6 for specific PoE wiring procedures and
restrictions.

Wiring length guidelines

Refer to the following table for the wiring length information related to the target MAX unit:
MAX-CSE @ 500 mA
Wire size
18 AWG
20 AWG
22 AWG
24 AWG

Preparing captive wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.
Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.
1. Strip 0.25 inch (6.35 mm) of insulation off all wires.
2. Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring
diagrams and connector types described in this section).
