Installation & Setup
Installation Considerations
Wire and Cable Recommendations: The ER8500C is designed for use with up to eight (8)RG59U 75
Ohm copper based 18AWG (American Wire Gauge) coaxial cables. The quality of which must be consistent
with any reasonaibly serviceable cable condition. That is free from damage as in cuts, breaks, or cracks to
the outter covering and insulated shieldings which may compromise the signal conductivity of the cable(s).
For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges, and proper installation techniques please call
Tech Support at 1-(800)528-4343.
Ethernet & PoE: The ER8500C is designed to receive up to 100Mbps (per port) of Ethernet TCP/IP data
and transmit up to 1 Gigabit of aggregate LAN traffic. Additionally, the ER8500C provides per port sourcing
PoE to operate itself, the transmitters (ET1500Cs), and all attached network devices (up to 8) while sup-
porting 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) powering schemes at a maximum distance of 1,640ft./500m.
Before considering this solution be sure that the cable(s) involved do not exceed the recommended maxi-
mum lengths. If the cable value is undeterminent at the time of installation, we recommend the use of a 3rd
party time domian reflectometer (TDR) which through the use of short rise time pulses can measure im-
pedence characteristics, splices, and unknown cable distance estimates.
