Caution
The package contains one Warning Sticker, which
should be stuck on the coaxial cable connector before
using PLANET Power over Coaxial Extender Kit. As the
VC-205PT is power over coaxial, it only can work with
PLANET VC-205PR or VC-203PR. If connected with
Non-PoE coax-LAN equipment, it might cause damage to
the equipment.
Warning: This side of connector
contains electric power. Please be
careful before plugging into
the device.

Please take care of the conditions of the resistance value of cables as
follows.
Coaxial Cable Type
RG-59/U Less than 30Ω/1000 ft.
RG-6/U Less than 12Ω/1000 ft
Because there are various resistance values in the category of RG-59/U
or RG-6/U cable.
