Nitek ER8400U Installation Manual

8 Port Wall Mounted IP Video Extender Over UTP
With Built-In Gigabit PoE+ Switch and EtherStretch
The ER8400U 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 ER8400U is a wall mounted eight port power sourcing receiver unit has built-in gigabit switching capabilities. The
unit requires very little installation time and absolutely no set up or configuration. The ER8400U and associated
ET1500U transmitters, up to 8, can quickly enable UTP CAT5e/CAT6 cables to support high speed network communi-
cation and PoE+ transmission to be extended to 600 meters or 2000 feet.
The ER8400U is a fully functional PoE+ network Layer 2 switch with IEEE802.3AT power output on each of the 8 net-
work ports and a full Gigabit LAN jack. It allows you to mix standard Ethernet devices for distances of up to 100 meters
and with EtherStretch devices that can extend cable runs to 600 meters. The longer 600m/2000ft require the use of
the ET1500U transmitter. 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 ER8400U is completely transparent to the network thus requiring no IP and MAC addressing. Simply connect your
network device to the transmitter network port connect a new or existing cables 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 ER8400U reliably extends network communications to overcome cable distance limitations
offering connectivity to devices in locations traditional networking does not allow. The ER8400U 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.
