2. Introduction
The 60W 5Gb 1-port PoE Extender is a component of CommScope's® powered fiber cable
system, a hybrid optical fiber/copper cable system for remote powering of network access
devices. It is designed to simply and easily function with the powered fiber cable system to extend
the distance of PoE (Power over Ethernet) enabled devices. The extender encompasses four primary
elements:
1. Environmentally sealed enclosure
2. Electrical power management
3. Circuit protection electronics
4. Optical to electrical Media Conversion
When coupled with any standard NEC Class 2 48V DC power supply, CommScope's Powered
Fiber Cable system can power and communicate with PoE standard devices at far greater
distances than "category style" copper cabling systems (typically limited to 90 meters) while still
meeting NEC Class 2 and SELV standards, eliminating the need for qualified electricians during
installation.
The extender contains circuit protection and DC/DC conversion electronics which automatically
condition electrical voltage to the correct level needed for PoE powered end devices such as small
cells, high definition security cameras, Wi-Fi hot spots, etc...

Extender Surge Protection
Long length DC low voltage electrical systems are at increased risk of:
•Noise from high voltage cables
•Higher current in the event of a short circuit
•Strong electrical surges due to lightning strikes or other EM events in close vicinity
The PoE Extender provides multiple levels of electrical protection:
•Primary Protection:
•2.5kA Metal oxide varistors - operate for slower surges as well as fast surges
•Protects both differential and common mode
•Secondary Protection:
•MOV and Inductors - reduce surge voltage down to ~100-150
•Tertiary Protection:
•Transient voltage suppressors - work at relatively low/slow surges, adds an extra
layer of protection against voltage spikes
•Protects differential mode only
•Clamps voltage spikes to 80-100V
Additional protection elements include:
•Cross-polarity protection to simplify installation - the circuit will work regardless of the
input polarity
•AC cross protection:
•4A non replaceable fuses
•No exposed high voltage pads
•High power inductors used as coordinating elements to maximize energy efficiency
•Sealed enclosure for environmental protection

4. Installation
Installation of the PoE Extender should be completed in the following order.
Step 1: Remove Solar Shield
Remove the 4 bolts attaching the solar shield to the PoE Extender with a 3mm Allen key. Slide the
solar shield off the retaining lugs and put to one side.
Step 2: Remove the Cable Glands
Unscrew the caps and then remove the plugs and grommets from the pass-through connectors.
Note 1: Do not unscrew the pass-throughs from metal body of the extender. These have been
factory fitted and sealed to the correct torque setting.

Step 3: Remove the Enclosure Lid
Using a 3mm Allen key, unscrew the 8 captive screws on the enclosure lid until they are clear of the
base. Do not remove the screws from the lid. A pre-installed cable tie-lanyard is provided to keep
the lid attached the base. This may be cut and removed if desired.
Step 4: Powered Fiber Cable Installation
The CommScope Powered Fiber Cable consists of 2 insulated copper power conductors and a
central tube containing the optical fiber. Separate the three cores to allow the power to be
connected to the screw terminals, and the fiber thread to be connected to a fiber terminal, which is
then inserted into the SFP.
The Powered Fiber Cable is designed to be prepared for use with only a knife, a typical pair of
wire strippers and, optionally, a wire cutter or snip. To split the cable successfully, follow this
process.
As detailed below, only use the knife to separate the parts for the first 20mm or so. It is important
that subsequent stripping is performed by simply pulling the conductors away from the fiber tube so
that the edges are clean and smooth.
Step 4A: Splitting the Cable
1. Snip the cable end at the indentations in the cable jacket between the center fiber element
and the two outer conductor elements
.
2. While holding the center fiber element in as straight a line as possible, carefully peel each
conductor away from the center fiber tube for a distance of about 220 cm.

3. Ensure the separated segments are smooth to prevent water ingress issues through the
grommet.
Step 4B: Installing the Cable Gland
1. Use tape or heat shrink to prevent the cables splitting further than the required length
2. Thread the strands through the cap, then through the supplied grommet; the grommet
should be positioned approximately 5cm from where the cable component parts are split
out. Putting a small amount of silicon grease on the cable segments will make the gland
easier to install and provide added protection against water ingress.
3. Thread the end of the powered fiber cable through the gland fitting on the enclosure with
the fiber segment above the two copper segments.
4. Using a Torque wrench, tighten the screw cap onto the gland fitting. Tighten to 4 N-m (35
in-lbf).

Step 4C: Connecting the Power Strands
1. Cut the two power strands to length.
2. For the 12 AWG cable, use a proper 12 AWG or 2MM diameter wire stripper. For the
16AWG, use a 16 AWG or 1.2mm wire diameter stripper.
Step 4D: Connecting the fiber
1. After first disabling the extender input power, insert the SFP+ module (supplied separately)
into the SFP cage.
2. Remove the sheath from the fiber tube such that the end of the remaining sheath will rest in
the fiber tray. Place the strippers at the desired strip location, close the wire strippers fully
once, then open. Now, by hand you may pull the center element jacket off, revealing the
aramid and optical fibers.
3. Remove excess aramid as desired for termination.
4. The fibers should wrap around the splice tray several times to allow for future re-splicing.
5. If used, the splice to the fiber connectors should sit in the splice island in the splice tray.
6. The fiber LC/UPC pigtails should wrap around the splice tray once, then connect to the
SFPs as below.
Note: The wires maybe connected in either polarity.

Step 5: Ethernet Cable Installation
A Cat6 or better shielded patch cord is recommended for the PoE connection.
1. Thread the seal cap and grommet on to the cable as shown below.
Note: If using a pre-terminated Ethernet cable, it may be necessary to remove the boot.
2. With the latch facing up, insert the RJ45 plug through the the cable gland fitting and into
the jack. After fully inserting the plug, verify that the plug latch is engaged in the jack by
gently pulling back on the cable.

3. Using a torque wrench, tighten the screw cap onto the gland fitting. Tighten to 4 N-m
(35in-lbf).
ATTENTION: TO PREVENT MOISTURE AND DUST FROM ENTERING THE UNIT, ALL UNUSED
PORTS SHOULD HAVE PLUGS INSTALLED AT ALL TIMES.
*FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN UNIT FAILURE*

Step 6: Sealing the Unit
1. Ensure the supplied gasket is properly seated in its channel (it only fits in one orientation)
and that all cables are secured.
2. Apply Loctite 222 to all lid bolts.
3. Put the lid back in place.
.
4. Tighten the screws to torque 2.5Nm (22.1 in-lb). It is recommended that the center screws
on each side be tightened first, followed by the corner screws.
