Chapter 3: Installation

3. Installation

Because the VDSL2 PoE Ethernet Extenders are preconfigured for basic applications, you can install them quickly. Follow these
steps:
1. Connect the line interface between the units with RJ-11 cable.
2. Connect the Standard Extender to a twisted-pair Ethernet connection. Connect the PD Extender to a PoE P SE switch or
other PSE device using copper twisted-pair c able.
NOTE: Make sure that the PSE device is turned on, or the VDSL2 PoE Ethernet Extender (PD) will not work.
3. Connect the power adapter to the Standard extender and plug it in.
NOTE: The interconnecting cables should be rated for external use and appropriate for the application’s voltage, current,
anticipated temperature, flammability, and mechanical serviceability.
