Wiring Length Guidelines, Preparing Captive Wires

MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 Installation

Wiring Length Guidelines

Refer to the following table for the wiring length information related to the target MAX unit:

MAX-CSE and MAX-CSD10 @ 500 mA

Wire size	Maximum wiring length

18 AWG	216.76 feet (66.07 meters)

20 AWG	137.61 feet (41.94 meters)

22 AWG	88.78 feet (27.06 meters)

24 AWG	54.15 feet (16.50 meters)

Preparing Captive Wires

You will need a wire stripper and flat-blade screwdriver to prepare and connect the captive wires.

Never pre-tin wires for compression-type connections.

1.Strip 0.25 inch (6.35mm) of insulation off all wires.

2.Insert each wire into the appropriate opening on the connector (according to the wiring diagrams and connector types described in this section).

3.Tighten the screws to secure the wire in the connector. Do not tighten the screws excessively, as doing so may strip the threads and damage the connector.

Wiring a Power Connection

To use the 2-pin 3.5mm mini-Phoenix connector with a 12 VDC-compliant power supply, the incoming PWR and GND cables from the external source must be connected to their corresponding locations on the connector (FIG. 3).

Power Supply

Wiring Guidelines - Indirect Power (via PoE)

Power-over-Ethernet (PoE) can be used to indirectly provide DC power to this 802.3af-compliant device via the unused wire pairs in the UTP or STP Ethernet cable (RJ-45 pins 4, 5, 7, and 8). PoE power is overridden if a direct power feed (via the rear 2-pin PWR connector) is detected.

Any 802.3af-compliant PoE switch (such as the NXA-ENET24 PoE) can automatically detect the MAX device by its authenticated PoE signature and sense its required load before applying power to the PoE Ethernet port on a target device.

PoE connections work with all existing Category (CAT) 3, 4, 5, 5e or 6 network cabling (including patch cables and patch-panels, outlets, and other connecting hardware) without requiring modification.
