8 Port Wall Mounted IP Video Extender Over Coax
With Built-In Gigabit PoE+ Switch and EtherStretch
The ER8400C is another component of the NITEK cutting edge EtherStretch line. Our EtherStretch solution allows
for the utilization of existing cable infrastructure (coax or UTP) to transmit data from IP cameras and other network de-
vices along with PoE+ power to operate these network devices over the given wire media well beyond the 100m/328ft
networking distance limitation. EtherStretch technology allows you to operate 100Mb Ethernet at over 600 meters.
The ER8400C is a wall mounted eight port power sourcing receiver unit has built-in Layer 2 Gigabit switching capabili-
ties. The unit requires very little installation time and absolutely no set up or configuration. The ER8400C and associ-
ated ET1500C transmitters, up to 8, can quickly enable Coaxial cable to support high speed network communication
and PoE+ transmission to be extended to 500 meters or 1600 feet.
The ER8400C is a fully functional PoE+ Layer 2 switch with IEEE802.3AT power output on each of the 8 EtherStretch
ports and a full Gigabit LAN jack. It allows you to use existing coax cable to install new IP cameras. With EtherStretch
network devices that can extend the network connection to lengths of 500 meters or 1600 feet. The ER8400C require a
small EtherStretch transmitter unit connects at the far end of the cable and allows you to connect any Ethernet device
to the cable and get 100Mb communication.
The ER8400C is completely transparent to the network requiring no IP and MAC addressing. Simply connect your net-
work device to the transmitters network port, connect a new or existing cable to the receiver and the system quickly
begins communicating. LED indicators show the status and data speed of communications along with PoE power con-
firmation.
The NITEK EtherStretch ER8400C reliably extends network communications to overcome cable distance limitations
offering connectivity to devices in locations traditional networking does not allow. The ER8400C is ideal for retro-fitting
existing installations. The wall mounted unit is constructed of robust welded steel casing with a security lock and a built
in cooling and ventilation system.

    Support at (800) 528-4343. Ethernet & PoE: The ER8400C is designed to communicate at up to 100Mbps per network port for Ethernet data and transmit up to a Gigabit of aggregate LAN traffic. Additionally, the ER8400C provides per port power sourcing PoE+ voltage to operate the transmitters (ET1500C), and up to 8 attached network devices.
  • Page 4: Installation And Setup

    The method for facilitating Ethernet communication and PoE over a coaxial cable starts with connecting the ER8400C up to 8 coaxial cables via its BNC jacks. Each of the coaxial cables interface with the IP camera via the ET1500C transmitter, located at the camera end of the cable. The IP camera establishes connectivity to ET1500C transmitter via RJ5 jacks and a CAT5e/CAT6 patch cords.
  • Page 5: Device Mounting

    The EtherStretch ports are 10/100Mb speed and will run at the highest possible speed given the wire condi- tions. The ER8400C works like a standard network switch for Ethernet devices but over coax. For long runs of up to 500 meters it is combined with the ET1500C Transmitter to provide a network link.

  • Page 7 Transmitter-end Installation ET1500U Units At the camera location securely mount the transmitter. Find the Link cable from the head-end and make sure it is properly terminated. Connect Link cable to the “Link Port” of the transmitter. If the head-end unit is powered up it will sense the connection to the transmitter and turn on the power.
  • Page 8 If the needed level of power is not available for the length of cable, used alternate options are available. One method is to directly power the transmitter with a 48VDC power supply as shown below (Nitek# PS48). When pow- ered directly from a 48VDC supply the transmitter can deliver full 802.3AT power regardless of the cable length plus an additional length of up to 100 meters of network cable.
