Overview 12
CopperLink Line Power 1101E PoE Extender User Manual 1• General information
Overview
Thank you for purchasing this Patton Electronics product. This product has been thoroughly inspected and
tested and is warranted for one year for parts and labor. If any questions or problems arise during installation or
use of this product, contact Patton Electronics Technical Support at +[phone].
Features
•Ethernet Extension—Extends 10/100Base-TX Ethernet over 3,000 feet using 2-wire, 24-AWG twisted-
pair, Cat 3, Cat 5e/6/7, or coaxial cable.
•Delivers PoE—PowerPlus technology powers up both the remote CopperLink extender and the PoE
enabled device connected to it. No power is required at the remote location.
•Transparent LAN Bridging—Passes higher layer protocols, including 802.1Q VLAN tagged and untagged
packets. Fully transparent to various video compression schemes such as WMV, MPEG-4 and MJPEG.
Description
The Patton Electronics CL1101E Power over Ethernet (PoE) Ethernet Extenders provide Ethernet communi-
cation and (depending on the model) power across 2-wire, 24-AWG twisted-pair; Cat 3; Cat 5e/6/7; or
coaxial cable:
•The CL1101E transmits at 10 or 100 Mbps.
•The two endpoints must both operate at the same bandwidth.
•The CL1101E operates only in full-duplex mode.
•The actual data rate and power delivered by the CL1101E depends on line quality.
The CopperLink 1101E enables Ethernet connectivity over previously installed copper infrastructure. The
solution breathes new life into circuits deployed for such traditional non-IP applications as RS232/485 con-
trols, alarms, CCTV, analog phones, intercom speakers, and others. Figure 1 shows a typical application.
Figure 1. Typical application

Unit Definitions 13
CopperLink Line Power 1101E PoE Extender User Manual 1• General information
Unit Definitions
Local Customer Endpoint (LCE)—Customer equipment that is typically closer to the centralized location.
This is often times a server or a network switch.
Remote Customer Endpoint (RCE)—Customer equipment that is typically far away from other devices. It is
often a phone, camera, or other small device.
Local (L) Ethernet Extender—The extender closer to the Local Customer Endpoint.
Remote (R) Ethernet Extender—The extender closer to the Remote Customer Endpoint.
Data
Data may be transmitted full duplex at 10Mbit or 100Mbit. LCE and RCE must be able to be at the same data
rate.
Both the LCE and the RCE Ethernet ports should support at least 10Mbit full duplex, and be configured iden-
tically (see figure 2).
Figure 2. Data path
Power
Power across the system as a whole must be defined before details about each unit can be understood.
The Local Customer Endpoint should not have power on the line in all cases. The Ethernet port on the Local
Ethernet Extender is not a PoE port. It is a 10/100 Ethernet port. If IEEE80.2af/at PoE is applied to it, the
power negotiation between the ports will fail.
Power-across-link application
The Local Customer Endpoint has no power on the Ethernet port.
The Local Ethernet Extender is powered using a PoE voltage external power source (approximately 54VDC).
This power supply's positive and negative leads are internally connected to data wires through some circuitry.
The chassis is not directly connected to the power supply so it is possible to use positive, negative, and isolated
voltage sources.1Power is sent to the Remote Ethernet Extender without any detection or negotiation. It is
completely passive.
When choosing to transmit non-isolated voltage, great care must be taken. There is no isolation in the system
besides the power supply.
If PoE power is applied to the Local Ethernet Extender’s
Ethernet port, equipment damage may occur.
CAUTION

Power 14
CopperLink Line Power 1101E PoE Extender User Manual 1• General information
The Remote Ethernet Extender receives power. Shortly after it is powered, it will provide power using an IEEE
802.3at/af port.
The Remote Customer Endpoint will receive negotiated 802.3at/af PoE power (see figure 3).
Figure 3. Power supply and data paths for power-across-link application
Remote-power application
The Local Customer Endpoint has no power on the Ethernet port.
Note It is possible to apply power to the Remote Ethernet Extender via the barrel
jack with no negative side effects.
The Local Ethernet Extender is powered by a 12 VDC power supply. It is not used to transmit power across the
extension link.
The Remote Ethernet Extender is powered using a PoE voltage external power source (approximately 54
VDC). Shortly after it is powered, it will provide power using an IEEE802.3at/af port.
The Remote Customer Endpoint will receive negotiated 802.3at/af PoE power (see figure 4).
Figure 4. Power supply and data paths for remote-power application
1. For coaxial products, the negative input of the power supply is tied to the chassis. This means negative voltage
would short to the chassis and possibly cause damage to devices or human injury. This is due to the nature of
the coaxial cable (the outer conductor is exposed and must be used for GND). For this reason, only positive
or isolated voltages are recommended when using coaxial.
If the RCE’s input power is grounded in any way, it will
short out the power being sent which could cause equip-
ment damage or personal injury.

Front panel description
The following describes the ports, indicators, and grounding stud for the CL1101E (see figure 5):
•Grounding stud—Prevents high voltage surges from reaching human accessible components (the shielded
connector). This has a minimum effect on protecting internal circuitry. The exception is for coax where the
negative input is directly connected to this ground stud.
•Line—The extension interface used for sending data and power.
∕RJ-45—Interface for two, four, six or eight wires—pin-out to TIA/EIA T568A/B (see section “RJ-45” on
page 46 for more information).
∕Te r mi n a l B l o c k —Interface for a single pair of wires; 16–28 AWG (see section “Terminal Block” on
page 46 for more information).
∕Coaxial—Interface for a single pair of wires; 75-ohm BNC connection; outer conductor tied to negative
input of Local Ethernet Extender’s power input as well as grounding stud (see section “BNC (Coaxial)” on
page 47 for more information).
•DIP Switch—The DIP switch configures the line rate, power mode, and number of wire pairs used (see
section “Configuring the DIP Switch” on page 31 for more information)
•Ethernet—10/100 Full duplex port. Left LED (green) indicates link (solid) and activity (blinking). Right
LED (yellow) indicates connection rate, 10 Mb (off) and 100Mb (solid). See section “10/100Base-T Inter-
face” on page 45 for more information.
Note Remote unit only: If this is a unit that can transmit power, it will do so as an
802.3at/af compliant port.
•Power—Power input jack; center positive.

Power Transmission
This section details generic information on power transmission and how it affects the CL1101E. The following
is basically a crash course on the theory and application.
General Background
There are several important factors to consider when dealing with power transmission to a remote load. The
factors that should be understood are ampacity (current carrying capability of the wire), insulation of the wire,
voltage being transmitted, current being transmitted, resistance of the wire, and resistance of the load (end-
point).
Ensure that the barrel jack cap is installed when barrel jack is
not used to minimize risk of electrostatic discharge events into
the unit.
The following is intended for educational purposes only; consult
with a licensed electrician before applying this information in
practice.

CopperLink Line Power 1101E PoE Extender User Manual 1• General information
The physical limitations of the wire are ampacity and insulation of the wire. The maximum current is the
amount of current that can be safely per regional electrical codes. The insulation of the wire will determine
what voltage the wire can tolerate before it breaks down. This information is provided by the wire manufac-
turer.
Given a certain power consumption of a remote unit and given a certain voltage being applied, it's possible to
calculate the amount of current that the unit should expect to receive. Unfortunately, sending any current (at
all) will cause the voltage to sag by the time it reaches the remote device (due to the voltage drop along the
wire). This in turn increases the current draw (to overcome the drop in voltage) causing the voltage to drop
even further! So this is a bit of a self-defeating cycle. It does balance out, but in the end it means there is a max-
imum amount of power that can be transmitted given a voltage being applied and the resistance of the wire.
This is why relatively high (though still safe) voltage is chosen for use in PoE applications.
As a result, when transmitting power over long distances, it is the voltage being applied and the resistance of the
wire that limits the maximum power that can be transmitted.
Wire Specifics
Wire comes in all shapes and sizes. It can be thick and made from copper (good wire for power transmission) or
thin and made from aluminum (poor wire for power transmission).
There is also a hybrid sometimes used called copper clad aluminum. This is aluminum wire that is surrounded
by a layer of copper. This is reasonable for some data transmission because high frequency signals tend to travel
on the outer surface of the wire (skin effect), but DC power uses the entire wire. As a result, this makes for a
rather poor power conductor.
Additionally, hotter environments typically increase the resistance.
Some figures at room temperature (20 °C, 68 °F) follow:
•24 AWG solid copper wire: ~0.09 ohms per meter
•28 AWG solid copper wire: ~0.21 ohms per meter
•24 AWG CCA (copper clad aluminum) wire: ~0.13 ohms per meter
•28 AWG CCA wire: ~0.32 ohms per meter
Since the circuit must complete a round trip, the values actually double. Although some of the numbers don't
appear too different, the effect can be significant.
A real world example:
An endpoint consumes 10W (including the extender) of power. If you are sending 54 VDC, what is the maxi-
mum distance this power can be sent?
For transmitting the maximum amount of power across a particular medium, the maximum power transfer
theorem suggests that half of the power is lost in the endpoint while the other half is lost in the wire. This effec-
tively means seeing a 27 V drop across the wire (when using the Patton PoE power supply) when it is sending
the maximum amount of power. We also need to take into account the (2x) resistance for completing the loop.
This is also a best case result. If we account for approximately 30% inefficiency (and applying algebra on
Ohm's law equations), we get the following equation:
Max distance in meters = 0.7 x (voltage sent)2/(2 x one way wire Ohms/mx power needed)

Power Transmission 18
CopperLink Line Power 1101E PoE Extender User Manual 1• General information
Or more concretely for 24 AWG solid copper, (0.7 x 27 x 27)/(2 x 0.09 x 10) = 284 meters
If you had more wire pairs, then further distances are possible, just multiply by the number of wire pairs.
CL1101E specifics
The above example is completely hypothetical but is realistic. Unfortunately, it is often difficult to determine
the resistance of pre-existing cables. To make things easier, the unit has the ability to approximate the resistance
of the wire and determine what the maximum amount of power could be available on extender's PoE port.
This information is only available on the Remote unit however. The Local unit merely states how much total
power is being sent down the line.
