Nitek ER8500U Installation Manual

8 Port IP Video Extender Over UTP
With Built-In Gigabit PoE Switch with EtherStretch
The ER8500U is another component of 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 devices along with power (PoE & PoE+) to operate these networked
wire media well over the 100m/328ft networking distance limitation.
The ER8500U is a Ethernet & PoE extending rack mounted eight (8) port power sourcing receiver unit with
built-in gigabit switching capabilities. The unit requires very little installation time and absolutely no set up or
configuration. The ER8500U and associated ET1500U transmitters (up to 8) can quickly turn ordinary CAT5e/
CAT6 UTP cables into a series of high speed network communication and PoE pathways. The ER8500U is a
fully functional PoE+ network switch with a 802.3AT power output on each of the eight (8) network ports and
can operate with any standard Ethernet device up to 100m. Additionally, when used with the ET1500U trans-
mitters the system allows for cable runs of 600m/1,960ft supplying both a network connection and PoE+ pow-
er.
The ER8500U is completely transparent to the network thus requiring no IP and MAC addressing. Simply con-
nect your network devices to the transmitter LAN ports along with the existing cables to the receiver and the
system quickly begins communicating. LED indicators show the status and data speed of network communi-
cations along with PoE power confirmation.
NITEK EtherStretch ER8500U reliably extends network communications to overcome cable distance limita-
tions offering connectivity to devices in locations traditional networking does not allow. The ER8500U is ideal
for retro-fitting existing installations or for use in lieu of fiber for long distance transmission with the additional
PoE over the link capability. The rack mounted unit is robustly constructed of molded steel casing with appro-
priate built in cooling and ventilation.
