Outdoor IP Cameras Over Coax
Network Extender—PoE Injector
EL1500CW
The EL1500CW is another component of NITEK’s cutting edge EtherStretch line. Our Eth-
erstretch 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 devices over the given wire media.
The EL1500CW system consists of a NEMA4 weatherproof case enclosed transmitter and a
receiver unit that require very little installation time and absolutely no set up or
configuration. The system quickly turns any ordinary RG59 coax cable into a high speed
network communication and PoE pathway.
The EL1500CW is completely transparent to the network thus requiring no IP and MAC
addressing. Simply connect your network devices to the networking ports of the
transmitter and receiver along with existing cabling and the system begins communicating.
LED indicators show the status and speed of network communications and PoE power.
NITEK’s EtherStretch EL1500CW reliably extends network communications to overcome
cable distance limitations offering connectivity to devices in locations traditional networking
does not allow. The EL1500CW is ideal for retrofitting existing installations. The units are
constructed of industrial grade RoHS compliant plated aluminum with a corrosion resistant
finish and with the addition of the NEMA4 enclosure makes them extremely durable.
Description

Be sure to read these 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.

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.
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.

Installation & Setup
Installation Considerations
Wire and Cable Recommendations: The EL1500CW is designed for use with RG59U 75 Ohm
copper based 18AWG (American Wire Gauge) coaxial cable. 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.
For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges, and proper installation techniques
please call Tech Support at 1-(800)528-4343.
Ethernet & PoE: The EL1500CW is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of
Ethernet TCP/IP data and PoE from 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) at a maximum distance
of 1,640ft./500m. Before considering this solution be sure that the cable(s) involved do not
exceed the recommended maximum 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 impedence characteristics, splices, and
unknown cable distance estimates.
NEMA4 Enclosure Case: The NEMA4 enclosure is included in order to provided the system
(the ET1500CW 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 dependant & not included), either flat or pole apparatuses. Two (2) water-proof
gromets are located at the bottom of the unit in order to secure cable terminations and case
entry points.

Installation & Setup
Equipment Requirements & Mounting: The process for utilizing the EL1500CW is rather quick and
simple. A common topology involves a length of existing coax cable (up to but not exceeding
1,640ft/500m), the NEMA4 enclosed case with EL1500CW transmitter, receiver (ET1500CW &
ER1500CW pair), an exterior IP camera or other peripheral network device (both universally referred to
as the Power Device or PD), and a 3rd party PoE network switch (or Power Sourcing Equipment/PSE).
The exterior PD and PSE must both be either 802.3af or 802.3at compliant. That is requiring or
producing no more than 15.4 W 48VDC @ 350mA of 802.3af up to 25.5W 60VDC @ 600mA of 802.3at
PoE+ power for proper attached device operation. Additionally, all RJ45 terminations are in accordance
with 568B pinout standards.
The method for facilitating Ethernet communication and PoE flow over RG59U cable starts with
connecting the ER1500CW to the PSE (RJ45-to-RJ45) via a CAT5e/CAT6 patch cable. The
ER1500CW’s coax BNC connector enables connectivity to the length of RG59U coax cable. The
exterior IP camera/PD interfaces with the NEMA4 encased ET1500CW via RJ5 (s) and a CAT5e/CAT6
patch cord. The output of the ET1500CW in turn connects to the length of RG59U cable by its BNC
connector. The NEMA 4 enclosure is typically mounted to an exterior surface or apparatus. Power from
the PSE provides operational PoE for both EL1500CW units and the exterior PD. An illustration of this
is represented below in the “Installment Topology - Type A” diagram.
Upon final termination the devices will undergo initialization and auto-configuration processes (see LED
Indicator chart on pg.#7) which may take a number of seconds (time variations are device/installation/
topology parameter dependant) to complete before PoE and Ethernet communication commences. For
optimal performance referring to the PoE/distance chart (see pg.#7) and adhering to the IP camera/PD
operational specifications is recommended. If issues arise during the installation process please see
the “Trouble Shooting Tips” section (pg # 8). You may also contact our web based live tech support at:
www.nitek.net/index.htm or call 1-(800) 528-4343 in order to speak with one of our engineers directly.
Installment Topology - Type A
Shown in the diagram above, are two EL1500CW devices (sold as a packaged pair) consisting of a
transmitter, NEMA4 case, and receiver unit. They are connected to an existing coax cable which
enables the transmission of up to 100Mbps of network data. Power for the units as well as for the
camera is derived from the 3rd party PoE network switch. Total distance, via RG59U cable, between
the EL1500CW devices cannot exceed 1,640ft./500m.
