1. Introduction
master unit injects the high power with the data from the Ethernet interface, and transmits both the
data and power to the remote slave unit via a 2-wire line. The remote unit regenerates the power
and provides the PoE capability to power up the farther remote PD device. Up to 15.4 watts can be
supplied to the remote PD device with 100m Ethernet CAT5 cable when powered by a 48V high
slave unit up to 300m distance for AWG24 line when using a 48V high power adaptor. Users may
select different data rates from dip switches on the front panels for different line gauges and
gauges.
With the PoE feature, it conforms to the Safety Extra Low Voltage (SELV) requirement. The
VX-160POE system offers a cost effective solution for remote power applications such as
LAN-to-LAN connectivity, Video Streaming, FTTB, and MDU/MTU over 2-wire line system.
