Parts of the EL1500C
Wire and Cable Recommendations: The EL1500C is designed for use with RG59U 75 Ohm
copper based 18AWG (American Wire Gauge) coaxial cable. The quality of which must be
consistent with any reasonably serviceable cable condition. That is free from damage as in cuts,
breaks, or cracks to the outer covering and insulated shielding which may compromise the
signal conductivity of the cable.
For more specific information regarding wire types, gauges, and proper installation techniques
please call Tech Support at (800)528-4343.
Ethernet & PoE: The EL1500C is designed to transmit and receive up to 100Mbps of Ethernet
TCP/IP data and PoE from 15.4W (802.3af) to 25.5W (802.3at) at a maximum distance of
1,600ft / 500m. Before considering this solution be sure that the cable involved do not exceed
the recommended maximum lengths. If the cable distance value is undetermined at the time of
installation, we recommend the use of a Time Domain Reflectometer (TDR) which through the
use of short rise time pulses can measure impedance characteristics, splices, and unknown ca-
ble distance estimates.
