The ET1500U is another component of the NITEK EtherStretch line. Our EtherStretch solution
allows for the utilization of new or existing cable infrastructure (coax or UTP) to transmit data
from IP cameras and other network devices along with power (PoE) to operate these networked
devices well beyond standard network limitations. The system can extend Ethernet to over 600m
or 1968ft of Category cable making the ET1500U is ideal for retrofitting existing installations.
The ET1500UW is a transmitter that mates with any of the EtherStretch Multi-port series receiver
units and require very little installation time and no set up or configuration. This system quickly
turns any ordinary Category cable into a high speed network communication and PoE pathway
well beyond normal limitations. The ET1500UW is completely transparent to the network thus re-
quiring no IP and MAC addressing. Simply connect your network devices to the networking ports
of the ET1500U transmitter and associated receiver along with Category cable run between the
units and the system begins communicating. LED indicators show the status and speed of net-
work communications and PoE power.
The NITEK EtherStretch ET1500UW reliably extends network communications to overcome ca-
ble distance limitations offering connectivity to devices in locations traditional networking does not
allow. The units are constructed of industrial grade RoHS compliant plated aluminum with a corro-
sion resistant finish makes them extremely durable.

Important Safety Instructions
Read all Safety Instructions.
Keep the Instructions for future reference.
Be sure to HEED all Warnings.
Follow ALL instructions.
DO NOT use this device or any of the equipment described, near water.
Clean this device ONLY with a dry cloth.
DO NOT block any ventilation openings.
Install in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions.
DO NOT install near any heat sources such as radiators, heat registers, stoves or other apparatus (including
amplifiers) that produce heat.
DO NOT defeat the safety purposes of polarized or grounding type plugs. A polarized plug has two blades, with
one blade wider than the other. A grounding plug has two blades and has a third grounding prong. The wide
blade and the grounding prong are provided for your safety. If the provided plug does not fit into your outlet,
consult an electrician for replacement of the obsolete outlet.
DO NOT connect the unit to an electrical supply if the wiring or over current protection of the supply could be
overloaded when the ratings listed on the unit are considered.
Protect the power cord from being walked on or pinched especially at plugs, convenience receptacles and other
points where they exit from the device.
Only use attachments and/or accessories specified by the manufacturer.
Refer all servicing to qualified service personnel. Servicing is required when the device has been damaged in any
way, such as the power supply cord or plug is damaged, liquid has been spilled on, or objects have fallen into the
device, the device has been exposed to rain or moisture, does not operate normally or has been dropped.
WARNING: To reduce risk of fire or electric shock, do not expose this apparatus to rain or moisture.
Installation shall be performed ONLY by qualified personnel and must conform to all local codes.
Unless the device is specifically marked as a NEMA 3, 3R, 3S, 4, 4X, 6 or 6P enclosure, it is designed for indoor
use ONLY and it must not be installed where exposed to rain or moisture.

Parts of the ET1500UW
Wire and Cable Recommendations: The ET1500UW is designed to use with ANSI/TIA/EIA defined CAT5e
or CAT6 Unshielded Twisted Pair (UTP) cabling. This UTP cable shall be able to accommodate TCP/IP data
operating speeds of 10/100 Mbps transmission rates. The RJ45 termination pin out schemes shall be in
accordance with the 568B standard. The quality of which must be consistent with any reasonably service-
able cable condition. It must is free from damage such as cuts, breaks, or cracks to the outer covering and
insulated shielding which may compromise the signal conductivity of the cable.
For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges, and proper installation techniques please call
Tech Support at 1-[phone].
Ethernet & PoE: The ET1500UW is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of Ethernet data and
PoE from 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) at a maximum distance of 1968 feet or 600 meters. Before
considering this solution be sure that the cable involved does not exceed the recommended maximum
lengths. If the cable length value is indeterminate at the time of installation, we recommend the use of a
Ohm meter which measures electrical resistance that can be used to determine unknown cable distances.
NEMA4 Enclosure Case: The NEMA4 enclosure is included in order to provided the system (the
ET1500UW transmitter) with a robust degree of weather and atmospheric condition protection in accordance
with the appropriately rated NEMA level. The weatherproof enclosure allows for flexibility in installation and
can be mounted to a variety of surfaces (mounting hardware dependent & not included), either flat or pole
apparatuses. Two (2) water-proof grommets are located at the bottom of the unit in order to secure cable
terminations and case entry points.

Installation Considerations

Installation & Setup
Equipment Requirements & Mounting: The process for utilizing the ET1500UW is rather quick and easy.
A common topology involves lengths of existing or new UTP (CAT5e/CAT6) cable up to 1968 feet or 500
meters, the ET1500UW transmitter and the associated rack mounted multi-port receiver such as the
ER8500C or ER16500C, an IP camera or other peripheral network device. The IP camera must be either
802.3af or 802.3at compliant. That is requiring no more then 15.4 W 48VDC @ 350mA of 802.3af (PoE) or
up to 25.5W 60VDC @ 600mA of 802.3at (PoE+) power for proper attached device operation.
The method for facilitating Ethernet communication and PoE over the UTP cable starts by connecting a
multi-port receiver such as the ER8500U or ER16500U to the lengths of CAT5e/CAT6 UTP “Link” cables.
The IP camera interfaces with the ET1500UW via its “Network Port” labeled RJ45 with a CAT5e/CAT6 patch
cord. The output of the ET1500UW in turn connects to “Link” cables via the “Link Port” labeled RJ45 con-
nector. Power (PoE) from the multi-port receiver provide operational PoE for both the ET1500UW and the
attached the IP camera. An illustration of this is represented below in the “Installment Topology - Type C”
diagram.
Upon final power up the devices will under go initialization and auto-configuration processes (see LED Indi-
cator chart on pg 6) which may take a number of seconds, time variations are device/installation/topology
parameter dependent, to complete before PoE and Ethernet communication commences. For optimal per-
formance referring to the PoE/distance chart (see pg 8) and adhering to the IP camera operational specifica-
tions is recommended. If issues arise during the installation process please see the “Trouble Shooting Tips”
section (pg 9). You may also contact our web based live tech support at: www.nitek.net/index.htm or call 1-
[phone] in order to speak with one of our engineers directly.
Installment Topology - Type C*
* The ET1500C’s are shown minus the NEMA4 enclosure. Installation of the NEMA enclosed “UW” models and standard
“U” models is the same. Drawing also indicates coax yet the same principals apply in a UTP-CATe/CAT6 scenario.
